2 day workshop and stay

Back to your roots – June 3-5

In this brand new 2 day workshop for 2017 we will go back to learn about simple things, taking the slow road to enjoying life and the peaceful environment here at Bear Valley Highlands.
Find out what you will learn and experience during your weekend stay:

As an experienced outdoor educator and guide, Charles will take us on a morning hike to explore the rich kingdom of plants – how to identify them, how to use them, and ultimately, deepen our relationship with the natural world.
On Bear Valley’s private 7-acre lake, Charles will take us back in time to reintroduce ourselves to an age-old mode of travel; the canoe. Our paddling session will include stroke instruction, manoeuvres, safety topics and rescue techniques. Charles will share his tips and tricks for experiencing the incredible freedom that wilderness canoeing has to offer. Rediscover the canoe as one of the most unique and meaningful ways to explore Canada’s stunning waterways.

Anneh has been making willow baskets for the last 12 years. Recently she started incorporating bulrush, birch bark, cedar bark, driftwood and clay pottery into her basket adventures. She will guide us through the process of making a simple, beautiful gathering basket.

Barbara has been living off grid with her family at Bear Valley Highlands for the past 10 years and being an avid cook and gardener has been experimenting with slow foods such as fully fermented doughs for bread and cheese making with her own goats milk.
She will show us how to make a simple cheese without the use of commercial cultures as well as different types of sourdough breads that are easy to incorporate into any lifestyle.
Inbetween she will also be our chef for delicious organic meals!
