Learn Your Nature Family Camp
It takes a village to raise a child and yet many of us are striving to do the best we can, with little or no support. Sometimes that support undermines our nature and that of our children. Rianne Eisler showed that 95% of human history was characterized by a pattern of healthy, peaceful, and cooperative companionship. This pathway shifted over time to the trauma-inducing pathway that dominates the planet and pressed us into a cycle of destructive competitive detachment.

Darcia Narvaez describes the Evolved Nest, a way of raising children that breaks the current cycle of competitive detachment and returns to the pattern of connected cooperative companionship. Gabor Mate says of the Evolve Nest that it is “a profound understanding of what our core needs are, right from conception, and what we have to learn from the ancestral human and animal ways of being as they were formed in the crucible of Nature”- Gabor Maté, MD.

Darcia Narvaez’ Evolved Nest looks at the pre and postnatal stages in human development. The work of Jon Young and Coyote's Guide to Nature Connection continues this understanding of our core needs for Nature Connection across the lifespan to create Connective, Regenerative Cultures. Alfred Adler gave us community psychology that centers a sense of belonging and promotes fulfilling our potential in collaborative ways for the common good. John and Mary Miller’s Natural Psychology helps us to decipher how we are in our natural state. It helps us to accept ourselves and others and find ways to live together in a good way.

All of these understandings have drawn on the ancient wisdom of our ancestors. At the Learn Your Nature Family Camp we are fortunate to have been guided by the lessons Shore has learned from over 20 Indigenous Elders.

These foundations were added to Shore Charnoe's experience of decades of community helping and also having a hand in raising, fostering, and mentoring over 100 children along with raising a dozen biological and adopted children and 6 grandchildren.
