Enjoy an Earth Walk wherever you are!
Engage your DNA (Direct Nature Access) so you see yourself in nature as the true nature you are :)
Ever see a bear move through the forest? They move so softly it is easy to be surprised by their presence. Wildlife walk softly, so they can hear, feel, smell and tell what is coming or going. Like wildlife, we breathe, hydrate and nourish from the grace of nature - we are wild too, we just may have forgotten how to walk softly. An Earth Walk is a simple, meandering stroll, to remember, recover and re-story your native relationship to the land, water, wildlife and air - we all still share. Walking in nature also restores mental and emotional fatigue.

Tahoe Watershed is Washoe Territory.
An Earth Walk is inspired by the 10,000 years of Tahoe's first people, who walked with the earth. It shares indigenous values of 'Nature Immersion' and 'Forest Bathing' also known as 'Shin Rin Yoku'. http://www.shinrin-yoku.org/shinrin-yoku.html. Walking the land to understand is how you will; remember, recover and re-Story your true nature.
The Incline Village Earth Walk site is at Incline Village Visitor Center, on Hwy 28 in Incline Village. Bus, bike or drive to the center, purchase the Earth Walk Guide booklet for $5 and head out on the sidewalk that borders the Frisbee Golf Course. At the bridge you will see the first navigational sign pointing you towards the creek. An easy 1/2 mile wander to feel the flow of the water, wind and land calling you deeper to yourself. Mindful Earth Walking has potent mental, physical and neurological benefits.
Local Certified Guide: Felix Brosch, ANFT Certified Nature Therapy Guide , Tahoe's Nature Therapy Guide: www.earthkraft.org.
Sustainable Tahoe is facilitating the emergence of ‘Earth Walks’ sites throughout the original Washoe Territory. Each site will showcase an indigenous Galis Dungal (Washoe traditional Shelter). Ben Rupert, the great grandson of Moses Rupert, the last Shaman of the Washo, and his son John constructed the Incline Village and Tahoe Vista Galis Dungal. (Paid for with a Nevada Commission on Tourism Grant we received).
Parking, bathrooms and visitor center, with docent on-site, will makes it easy to connect people to guided walks, native crafts, moccasin making, etc., (also coordinated with an online calendar). The Earth Walk Guide booklet utilizes some of the nature therapy techniques while providing a way to journal your experience. It is supplemental to a personal guide experience and if no guide is available, can support your exploration.
Tahoe cannot afford visitors who do not embrace stewardship at some level. Creating sustainable adventures that inspire visitors to adopt principles of stewardship will help preserve our precious water for all days now and then.
Potential sites: Galena Creek, OxBo Preserve, Truckee Meadows. Do you know of a good site?
