Twin Eagles Wilderness School
eNewsletter - November 2018
Greetings from Twin Eagles Wilderness School! As autumn gives way to the short days and long nights of winter, the air we breathe is cool, crisp, and clear. Mountaintops are covered in snow, and the valleys are seeing the first snowflakes. Some birds migrate south, while others begin to flock up for the cold season ahead. How do the changing seasons impact you and your family?
Here on the cusp of the Thanksgiving holiday, we're presented with the opportunity to look at the blessings in our lives. We're full of gratitude for the peace of nature, the strength of community, warm fires, and our beating hearts. What are you grateful for today? It's this place of gratitude that forms a foundation from which we can bring our best gifts into the world.
Here is what we have in store for you in this months eNewsletter:
- Fall Harvest Report
- Youth Programs 2018-2019
Fall Harvest Report
We held our 14th annual Fall Harvest celebration yesterday in Spokane complete with preparing wild foods via primitive cooking methods like baked trout in an underground oven, hot rock pumpkin soup, Dutch oven crab apple crisp, Buffalo steaks and wild mushrooms cooked on the Swedish fire torch and Venison primitive stir fry!
Kids played wild awareness games while parents and grandparents bonded around the camp fire, we went on a coyote tracking adventure, and wrapped up our day with storytelling and potent reflections. The community bond was renewed, and we all left feeling thankful for the land and each other, and a little more human.
Many thanks to our amazing staff and families who helped make this possible!
Feel free to check out the photo album from this years Fall Harvest here!
