Earth Keepers is an outdoor garden course designed to help us remember our fundamental connection with all living things. We combine Kanyini, Eden, Hopi Rainbow Prophecy, Plant Alchemy, Sacred Gardening and other spiritual teachings into one class. We spend nearly the entire time outdoors in the garden or at nearby natural areas. You will get dirty!
Ages 6-14
This course is designed for youth ages 6 to 14. We have different classes for varying age groups.
Youth older than 14 may join if they feel they would enjoy the class. Siblings may join classes with older/younger siblings as long as there are no distractions with class flow.
Youth younger than 6 must be pre-approved before joining (contact us).
Location: in the Garden & Rainbow Room at the Hen House.
Duration: 2-4 hours (depending on age group)

This notice is a good faith effort to provide clarity and transparency regarding our Youth Earth Keepers Course. Please read through this Notice for full closure.
Our Youth Earth Keepers Course requires a contact to be signed by at least one guardian of the minor who is registered in the club. This contract is made available during the registration process and will include such topics as liability, consent, notice, payment, fees, commitment, rights, responsiblities.
All people who respect and hold One Haiku Values and do no harm are welcome here.
At this time, we are unable to accommodate for dropped-off youth who may require special needs care, unique care, or whom have behavioral oppositions in such a manner which requires special attention. These include, but not limited to: A.D.D, A.D.H.D, Autism, bi-polar, Blindness, Deaf, defiance or behavioral oppositions, Down Syndrome or debilitating depression. We are simply untrained to perform supervision and we hope to be able to provide on-site supervision in the future.
A special needs youth may be able to join a class with prior acknowledgment from the teacher/guide. Please contact us for further direction. If approved, we will require written contract that you provide a fully present, fully trained, on-site supervising adult to be with your youth and to be responsible for your youth at all times.
This course takes place in a private home. Please be respectful.
All people who enter into the home are expected to be, and agree to be, respectful of plants, animals, earth, property and people; including their emotions and energies. Anyone causing harm (disrespect, damage, trespass, etc.) to another will be directed to leave.
Adults are responsible for their offspring and dependents at all times. If an adult has signed a waiver and dropped-off their youth, the adult must be available for immediate pick-up should their youth cause harm to another.
In the event where a dropped-off youth is incapable or unwilling to follow the rules of no-harm, they will be instructed to sit alone and wait for their adult to arrive to pick them up. Should the youth continue to harm another, they will be prohibited from joining us again.
Parents may choose to drop-off their youth with a signed waiver, or quietly join us during class (the Rainbow Room has very limited space), or relax in the living room.
