upcoming events: www.wyp.org
Mala Spotted Eagle: Healing the Earth, Healing Ourselves
“There was once a time when people walked this land, treating it with
deep respect. Their ways were simple and yet almost magical. Kinship with
all that is; the animals, the nature, was a way of life. Nature was not
"the wilderness" -- nature was their home.”
Mala Spotted Eagle Pope is a Western Shoshone and Cherokee Native
American. He has studied with many different medicine people,
spiritual leaders and native elders throughout the country.

David Sobel: Global Warming vs. Ecophobia
“If we want children to flourish,” says educator David Sobel, “we need to
give them time to connect with nature and love the Earth before we ask
them to save it.”
Through his writing, speaking, and teaching, David Sobel plays a major
role in what has become a national movement promoting place-based
education, an approach that has blossomed from studying biology in the
school yard to creating mapping businesses and other neighborhood
services. Each is an exercise in changing the way students learn about
the environment and their place in it.
