"Let us put our minds together and see what we can do for our children." - Sitting Bull
This year's event is aimed at the young-ish people within the community, and is a trial so is only open to those who are involved with Spirit Horse. This event replaces the Boy's Wilderness camp for this year.
The emerging idea which arose during the May Community Camp and came from the youth is that we should provide a year of apprenticeship, teaching, challenge and application. To offer young people and anyone who wants to learn. The nature of the time should be that at the end of it, those that have stuck it out, WOULD know the basics of: carpentry, carving, tent making, stove making, clothes making, fire making, cooking for 100 people, and in short all the skills necessary to run , repair and make beautiful the Spirit Horse Village. And by extension become useful people wherever they are in the world capable of contributing in many ways to the emerging creativity and challenge of our times. On top of the practical skills we would add essential stories, ways of speech, style and poetic maturity.
To try it out we propose this short Skills Intensive for all youngish people who want to give it a go.
Those interested should be prepared to do as they are told, work long hours and learn so much as to be someone else at the end!
Shivam is delighted to announce that this idea came from the young people themselves - in particular Silas and Jo Moss.
Please contact Erika or Shivam if you are interested in participating in the Skills Intensive workshop. All young people who are interested in the year long apprenticeship, to personally apply to Shivam (email shivam.spirithorse@gmail.com)
