Wilder – A Kids Workshop Series to Raise Awareness and Funds for Cetacean Sanctuaries Part 5 : Ecological Systems, Change Making
For our final session of this series, we’ll be talking about how whales and dolphins fit into their/our ecosystems. How do they keep change moving along so that the system is healthy? How about humans in ecology, and humans in social systems? How do you affect your social and environmental systems? Like Whales and Dolphins, humans are very communicative creatures. One way we promote change is by writing, and by letting others read our writing! Today, we are going to write letters to seaquariums, aquariums, and government officials — and encourage them to get on board with ending captivity practices, and with freeing these remarkably wise and powerful creatures to appropriate sanctuaries.
This 5-part series is full of whale and dolphin science, artistic expression, and everyday activism in support of cetacean sanctuaries! A portion of proceeds will go to the whalesanctuaryproject.org. This program is geared towards children 7-11 years old. For more information, click the link below.
Wilder – A Kids Workshop Series to Raise Awareness and Funds for Cetacean Sanctuaries Part 4 : Biomagnetism, Intuition, and Dance
Today, we’ll discuss terms “freedom” “captivity” and “intuition”. What are some examples of when you feel these words?
We’ll also discuss how cetaceans use biomagnetism (an inner, magnetic compass!) as an important and strong sense of navigation. We will make a simple compass as a class example. We’ll try imagining what it might be like to use this special sense – we will try to feel what it might feel like, and allow ourselves to be guided by that feeling. We will conclude by making up two dances – one as if we are cetaceans in captivity, and one, in our wild natural, ocean habitat , using echolocation, guided by our inner compass, and living with the ones we love.

Wilder – A Kids Workshop Series to Raise Awareness and Funds for Cetacean Sanctuaries Part 3 : Family Pods and Model Making
Cetaceans are known to have close knit families. Many whales and dolphins travel in ‘pods’ of family members – singing together, hunting together, playing together, and even hugging in their whalish ways.
Today, we will be exploring how different cetaceans organize their families, spend time with extended family, and teach their children important survival skills, as well as how to carry on traditions. Then, using clay, cardboard, and materials that could otherwise end up in landfills, we will make models of a cetacean family pod, swimming freely in their natural habitat.
