To Nelson We Will Go!

It has been such a whirlwind week here at Little Slocan Lodge! Between unpacking our bio-regional backpacks, starting all of our classes, having a really cool jam session with Jeremy, and eating Alan and Ricardo's AMAZING food we have had our hands pretty full.

We also got to try our hand at consensus decision making with the help of our lovely facilitator, Ruth. After only two days and four hours, we have come up with the fundamental values of Redfish School 2010! They are (drumroll please): community, passionate action (otherwise called 'paction'), creativity, learning, respect, and kincentricity (a lovely concept describing the connection between all organisms and our need to live in mutually flourishing relationships). TA DAAA.

We will now try to live these values for the next 6 weeks, starting today with our first field trip! We are headed to Nelson where we will do our first big grocery shop. Hopefully we pull it off, Ricardo and Alan have left us a lot to live up to...
