I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I hd not lived...I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life,...to know it by experience, and be able to give a true account of it in my next excursion.On June 7th, 2003 at Camp Addisone Boyce, WALDEN will take place.
Children, who play life, discern its true law and relations more clearly than men, who fail to live it worthily, but who think that they are wiser by experience, that is, by failure. Walden begins at nine in the morning, and largely consists of many fun and exciting workshops, which allow girls to learn these skills in small hands-on environments. The day also includes time for reflection, and chances to practice the acquired skill. Walden ends after a communal campfire, at nine pm.
And we are enabled to apprehend at all what is sublime and noble only by the perpetual instilling and drenching of the reality that surrounds us. The universe constantly and obediently answers to our conceptions; whether we travel fast or slow, the track is laid for us. let us spend our lives in conceiving then. Walden is open to both Scouts and non-Scouts, but the day is run as a Girl Scout program. Camp Rules, What to Bring, and there is necessary paperwork, that will soon be able to be downloaded from here. If you want it snail-mailed to you, please email bradyamoon@aol.comwith your address, putting 'Registration Packet' in the subject line.
Let us settle ourselves, and work and wedge our feet downward through the mud and slush of opinion, and prejudice, and tradition, and delusion, and appearance...till we come to a hard bottom and rocks in place, which we can call reality, and say, This is, and no mistake; and then begin...
