Program Description:

In this class we will be bringing some of the philosophy skills Tom teaches at his adult Tracker classes to parents, youth, and teens. We will spend the week learning about Grandfather’s worlds, and our ability to walk within them. We will explore the Sacred Silence, uncover methods for increasing awareness and learn techniques for becoming one with the Earth. Tom has tailored these teachings to the way Grandfather taught him as a child. This will be a very hands-on course with many games to cultivate awareness and imagination.
