About this event

Our modern lives can be overwhelming, stressful and demanding, leaving us feeling disconnected, sad, or alone. And yet, all around us, the natural world beckons to us as refuge, teacher, healer, friend. With a few accessible practices we can welcome back the feelings of deep belonging, vibrance, peace and wonder that we all seek.

Together we’ll explore ways in which we can simply and easily move into deeper relationship with the natural world, ourselves and each other. We will practice core routines which awaken the body and senses, still and slow down our minds, expand our awareness, and nurture presence towards the small wonders found in nature.

Some of the core routines we’ll explore are: Fox Walking, Owl Eyes, Body Radar, Animal Forms, Play/Games, Sense Meditation, and Sit Spot. The goal of this workshop is to empower you with a few new practices and ways in which to connect with nature that can result in bringing you more ease, peace, and a sense of connection in your daily modern lives.

Accessibility: There will be a short, light running/ frolicking game that can be played or sat out. We will be walking and sitting on the ground for a short while. Standing or using a folding chair is welcome if needed. Everyone is welcome.

Instructor Bio: Robin Bancroft-Wilson is trained in the 8 Shields model. She has worked as a nature Mentor for children, youth and adults at Soaring Eagle Nature School. She lives in both the modern busy professional world and that of the more-than human. She herself has found these practices to be accessible and nourishing ways to bridge between the two worlds and have helped to bring her back home to herself."

_______________________

Only current members in good standing are eligible to use the free ticket option as a part of their member benefits package.

There are a limited number of Pay What You Can tickets available for folks who self-identify as Black, Indigenous, and People of Colour (BIPOC), and people who are facing significant financial barriers to their involvement in our programming. The Compost Education Centre is in the process of examining the ways in which our program accessibility can be improved for all members of our community. This ticket gesture is by no means a fulsome examination of the systems of oppression that exist for people inside and outside of our community. We welcome your ideas and feedback.

Please pre-register for this event.

Customers can request a refund within 30 days of ticket purchase. After 30 days refunds and workshop exchanges are not permitted due to administrative staffing capacity. Please be in touch if you are no longer able to attend but hold a ticket so we can make your space available to someone else.

You can also register for the event by calling our office at 250 386 9676 or via email by contacting office@compost.bc.ca

________________________

Accessibility info: The Compost Education Centre site has paths made of gravel (20%), and wood chips (80%). Mobility devices with wheels (such as wheelchairs, walkers etc.) are sometimes difficult to use on site, especially on the gravel paths.

There is a single-stall gender neutral washroom on site. The washroom is not wheelchair accessible and has a small step up from the gravel pathway, and another small step up from the washroom boardwalk.

________________________

The Compost Education Centre is located on unceded and occupied Indigenous territories, specifically the land of the Lekwungen speaking people—the Esquimalt and Songhees Nations. These nations are two of many, made up of individuals who have lived within the porous boundaries of what is considered Coast Salish, Nuu-Chah-Nulth and Kwakwa'wakw Territory (Vancouver Island) since time immemorial. At the CEC we seek to respect, honour and continually grow our own understandings of Indigenous rights and history, and to fulfill our responsibilities as settlers, who live and work directly with the land and its complex, vital ecologies and our diverse, evolving communities.

Compost Education Centre memberships get you free workshops, discounts at garden centres around town and more great perks! Sign up or learn more on our website.
