The SSAC Spiritualist's Sports and Adventures Club and The Quest Center present ---   Primitive Wilderness Living/Survival Skills Weekend Aug.14th&15th contact: email randygol@earthlink.net   Some of the HANDS-ON workshops:     • Medicine Wheel Teachings   • Exploring the Outdoors with Indian Secrets   • Shelter (Secrets of staying warm/cool)   • Water (Procurement and Purification)   • Fire Building   • Wild Edible and Medicinal Plants   • Tools and Cordage   • Survival Kits   The Medicine Wheel is both an understanding and representation of the universe's symbolic teachers. We use the sacred Medicine Wheel's profound symbolism to convey universal truths in our wilderness survival and nature awareness workshops. Our belief is that learning doesn't come from memorization of skills, words and symbols. Knowledge and wisdom is a living, growing thing that comes from touching and experiencing each of the Medicine Wheel's seven directions.   We will develop survival skills within all aspects of primitive living. Awareness skills encompass the center of our circle and are involved in all that we teach in survival and primitive living. According to traditional understanding human beings are made of four selves: physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. Our workshops are experiential intensives offering increased awareness in all aspects of the self and the environment we occupy.   Schedule: Arrival- anytime friday night Saturday 7am Wake up 7:30-8:30 Meditation/free time 8:30-9am Breakfast 9-1pm class (Introductions, Medicine Wheel and Awareness) 1-2pm lunch 2-6pm class (Shelter and Fire) 6-7meditation/free time 7-8 dinner 8-10pm fire circle Sunday 7am Wake up 7:30-8:30 Meditation/free time 8:30-9am Breakfast 9-1pm class (Water and Food) 1-2pm lunch 2-5pm class (Tools and Survival Kits)   Instructor: R. L. Hueston (Hue)   Hueston, an active 20 year US Army Officer, has taught wilderness skills from Alaska to Arizona and Korea to Germany as his primary life interest and passion. He is currently working on a book that describes his vision for learning/teaching primitive living and wilderness skills using a ancient Native American metaphor. The circle of life, the Great Medicine Wheel, has no beginning and no end. Every part of Creation exists as a part of this circle, and each has a purpose.   - Jamie Sams The Owl is the symbol for our school. Owl symbolism signifies the night messenger that brings lessons from the unseen side of life. The Owl represents silent and swift movement, seeing behind masks, keen sight, messenger of secrets and omens, shape-shifting, link between the dark (unseen world) and the world of light, comfort with shadow self, and freedom. Being touched by the night messenger brings those attributes to power in your life. Open to the general public. Please forward to any lists or people who might be interested. What to bring: "Please bring a sleeping bag. Camping space is available if you want to bring your tent."   Contact: please email randygol@earthlink.net or phone 570-289-4033 202-518-0442 Cost: $90 Directions to the Quest Center
