Thursday Evening Archery Classes
Traditional archery calms and focuses the mind like no other activity I know. The women in our Running With Artemis class have been talking about how their brains switch into a different mode when they draw their bows, and they move from instinct. We are wired to shoot arrows and throw spears, because that's how our ancestors survived as a species. Is that why I feel so darn whole and alive while I'm shooting my bow?
Our new archery series is your opportunity to explore your wild instinctive self:
Class runs from 5-6:30pm at Good Heart Farm in Worcester (Directions are here). We shoot at 3D animal-shaped targets in a forest archery range by a rushing stream. You need enough physical mobility to hike a short distance to the range & you'll be crossing a stream on stepping stones to get your arrows (or wade through in sandals!). In the words of one of our Running With Artemis students: "Shooting a bow across a running stream with sunlight and maple seeds floating down through the tree tops... its utterly magical!"
THESE ARE THE DATES OF THE 2016 CLASSES:
Every Thursday from 5-6:30pm, May 5-26 and Sept 22-Oct 13, and Oct 27 2016
Drop me an email (or call 802-223-8600) to let me know you intend to attend. You can pay on-site with cash, check, or credit card. In case of steady rain or audible thunder, classes will not be held.
