Bushcraft and Natural living Retreat
1st -7th October 2011
This retreat offers the unique opportunity to learn bushcraft and natural living skills in this beautiful part of wild Tuscany. As well as learning such skills this retreat also offers the chance to explore and enjoy this beautiful area and overall enjoy a fantastic holiday.
We will share the essential bushcraft skills and techniques needed in this wonderful yet challenging landscape.
This course covers all you would expect on a bushcraft and survival course.
The essential skills needed to survive are based on the four main principles of survival: fire, food, shelter and water.
 
Activities include;
o Building and organizing a camping area
o Basic fire lighting including fire by friction and fire management.
o Safe campfire cooking methods
o Water collection, filtration and purification
o Wild food foraging and preparation
o ......and more!
 
The course is taught following the ethos of learning by making a hands on experience through 'learning by doing', and by becoming aware of what mother nature herself can teach us.
Other activities may happen spontaneously during the retreat depending on the dynamic (or enthusiasm!) of the group such as shamanic animal tracking, meditations, nature awareness exercises and other such happenings.
The course will be held at Casalino but we will regulary venture further into the woods for various activities so walking will play an intergral part in this retreat.
The price for this 7 day retreat is 200 pounds.
The price includes all meals, camping and workshop instruction.
