Step into an immersive journey with the Kuntanawa from the Amazon of Acre, Brazil as we share the ancient ancestral stories, songs, and wisdom of the Amazon rainforest and its people. Guided by Prince Haru and Dr. Hayra Kuntanawa, this gathering is an invitation to connect with the living spirit of the forest and deepen your relationship with the natural world. Spaces are limited for these intimate gatherings and are being offered on sliding scale donations. We hope to host this song circle by the fire at Real Eyes, weather permitting, or will be indoor if weather does not permit.

Hands-on learn how to save life & limb, when mired in the wilderness of an urban disaster zone, travel or rural area far from hospital, or natural area miles from an access point, during the critical minutes or hours before ambulance arrival. Come away with actual do-it-yourself care-giving skill and confidence, and 2-year SOLO certification. Counts as WFR Recertification, too. No prerequisites. YOUR SPOT IS NOT RESERVED UNTIL YOU'VE COMPLETELY REGISTERED AT WWW.SOLOWFA.COM \***Spaces are limited. REGISTER: www.solowfa.com or 434.326.4697** Can't make these dates?

WHY: Mired in a disaster zone, travel or rural area far from a hospital, or natural area miles from an access point ... accidents, destructive weather, and terrorism happen, and all-too-often members of a group are not capable of dealing with the emergency.

Very few first aid programs actually address the issues of providing emergency care in a setting where 911 is overwhelmed or not immediately reachable.

You can! The secret to success relies on your ability or inability to effectively communicate. Attend a free seminar and gain a better ability to communicate.
