THe Moon's nest

June 2019

Note from Our New Lead Teacher Claire 

 

Hello Moon's Nest families!

 

After being out of town for nearly half of May, I can't tell you what a joy it was to come back to playschool. I missed everyone so much, and was so touched by the warm welcome home that Archer and I got this week. I can't wait for a summer full of playing and learning together!

 

We'll be honoring this beautiful little patch of land with our bare feet, taking in lots of sunshine medicine, giving thanks for the water

(and doing a ton of splashing and swimming!),

and pausing to appreciate any cool breezes that come our way

...so much elemental joy and magic ahead of us this season. 

 

Warmly,

 

Claire

Echoes In Time 

 

Tis the season of skills gatherings! 

Traditional Ecological Knowledge, land stewardship, land based skills and technologies, connecting with new and old friends, and lots of play! 

 

The Moon's Nest School of Magic, Mischief, & Mystery is organizing a witch camp crew fer the upcoming gathering, Echoes In Time. 

 

I know first hand that it can be cost prohibitive fer a family to make it to camp when ya add up the cost of tickets, time off werk, transportation, food, etc.  And, it's so very important to bring the next generation into deeper relationship with land based practices. The Moon's Nest Witch Camp Crew offers families an affordable option fer gifting their kiddos with the opportunity to attend skills gatherings when the whole family can't make it. We'll learn and play all day, and hold our own witchy woo circle within this lovely gatherings.  

 

Sooo, check out all the info and links below, then register yer kiddo with us as a camper with the Moon's Nest Witch Camp crew. Thanks so much to the organizers of these camps fer creating the space fer us to learn and play together in the woods!

About this Camp

 

From the Echoes In Time website 

"Echoes in Time is a week long ancestral skills conference held every July in Oregon’s Willamette Valley and the Traditional Territory of the Kalapuya, near Monmouth. Our mission is to unite people from different demographics, communities, and backgrounds, through the sharing of common traditions of place-based ancestral living skills. Participants camp out on private property and enjoy 5 days of learning various skills from the “stone age” to the “iron age” (basketry, bows & arrows, wild edible plants, pottery, black-smithing, stone tools, felting, animal tracking, and more). This is an excellent family adventure and no previous experience is required. In this age of ever-increasing technology and globalization, the skills of preindustrial people are being forgotten. Come remember them with us." 

 

Fer full details, please visit the Echoes In Time website 

Be sure to check out the video from last year's gathering and watch fer Lorax & I, along with some other faces familiar to our playschool family! Such a sweet video and so representative of the Echoes In Time experience. I do hope you'll join us there!!
