 *Sunday, January 17th, noon. meet at My Dog Joe's in Westdale.*
 *Winter Wondering!*
 Devon and Peter take you on a wander to wonder through the winter of Cootes
Paradise!
 Grab your warm and cozy hats and mitts, and let's see what we can learn by
looking and listening in a snowy forest grove. We will go for a hike down in
Cootes Paradise, pay attention to what we notice, and we'll make a list of
'I wonders' -- for instance, "I wonder what made those tracks," "I wonder
what bird that is," "I wonder where the little fish are hiding". Some
questions we'll be able to answer from things we already know, some we'll be
able to figure out. However, some things in the winter woods are quite
mysterious, and for those things, we'll do some research and meet again the
following Sunday to share whatever answers we've been able to find.
Then, if you're so inclined, have some hot chocolate and skate about the
lake!
 dress warmly, bring skates and a mug!


See you soon!

"If modern industrial education—and more broadly industrial
civilization—requires "the subsumption of the individual," that is, the
conversion of vibrant human beings into "automata," i.e., into a pliant
workforce, then the most revolutionary thing we can do is follow our hearts,
to manifest who we really are."
