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.

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.
