Rain forest Medicines
This eco-course is an expansion of or Rain forest walk-shop.
Early Morning Bird Walk
Take a walk through the misty morning air, listening to and sighting various species of native and migrant birds
as they chatter and seek food. You will learn about various species hunted as game, their feeding habits and
social behaviours and their names.
Herbal Teas Walkshop
Stroll the farm and nearby Rain forest collecting various native teas. Back at the Community kitchen we will
prepare your tea of choice fresh and assist you in curing the other teas you have gathered to take home.
Tropical Watersheds I
Float down the idyllic Roaring River in a Mayan hand-carved Dory. Learn about the native Riparian ecosystem
and the geology of the river. Stop to fish for native 'Tooba' or 'Botasee' and enjoy them cooked fresh for you back
at the Community kitchen.
Tropical Watersheds II
The course goes more into depth about tropical watersheds and issues that affect them. Your guide will then
teach you through thru true 'immersion learning' as you try your hand at spearfishing, an art many modern
fishermen have never experienced.
GPS River Mapping
Learn the basics of GPS mapping while floating and charting a beautiful tropical river. Map out the river's course,
as well as the human impacts sighted along the way This is a fun way to combine kayaking and GPS mapping
skills that actually helps contribute to sustainable development in Belize!!!
Drumming: The Making of Drums and Rhythms
Learn about how drums are made. Watch the steps in action and then learn the basics of various traditional
African and Garifuna drumming. Master Drummer Emmeth Young of Gales Point Manatee will walk you through
this eco-course. As he demonstrates the making of a drum you will have the opportunity to make your own
drum if you choose.
Terra Preta: How to Create Living Earth
The history and process of Terra Preta creation. We will walk you back through the history of this amazing
anthropogenic soil that literally grows. Learn where it came from, how it was most likely created and how we
can create our own modern version as a solution to many of the predicaments that widespread use of modern
agriculture has created.
Silvaculture: A Central American Tradition
Learn about the history of the agricultural systems of Central American cultures. Growing the majority of their
food in tree crops was a system that Mayan Indians may have, ironically, used to spearhead their population
explosion shortly before the widespread adoption of corn and bean crops. This overlooked fact may be the key
to our present day struggle with Central American slash and burn techniques.
Stacked Polyculture: More for less
If you are interested in Tropical Agriculture this is one of the most exciting agricultural eco-courses we have to
offer. This course will actually walk you through the creation of a stacked polyculture planting from starting
seedlings and grafts to designing their eventual layout through biomimicry. Truly an inspiring course.
