Ancestor hunt

Before the session, lay out a selection of cleaned animal skulls and bones in various spots around your wild space.

Zoom lens

Choose a natural object, such as a branch with buds and smaller twigs, and draw it at roughly its real size in your journal, capturing its main structure.

Hand washing in the wild

Find a spot at least thirty metres away from any water source, since soap and dirty water should never enter a stream, pond or river directly.

Using a compass to take & follow a bearing

To take a bearing from a map, place the compass on the map with the edge of the baseplate aligned along your intended route, with the direction of travel arrow pointing towards your destination.

Mind’s eye imagination

Invite the group to imagine they are a buzzard on a beautiful sunny day, eyes closed, soaring above their sit spot area, climbing higher and higher, then descending in a tunnel through the wind.

Tell your story

After any time spent in nature, find someone to tell about it, such as a friend, a family member or the group you were with.
