I’m awake at 5 AM preparing for the Driftless Curiosity workshop on spring foraging and I feel a playful kind of joy replace my tension. I know I’m prepared. I’ve studied. I’ve practiced. I’ve foraged. I’ve taken my Capricorn drive to another level on this one, and I know I’m ready. Instead of feeling nervous about my presentation, I feel like a kid having friends over for a super elaborate game of “school”. I get to play teacher today, engaging in an undertaking of curiosity. I lecture and answer questions. We hike and forage the land. Rufus does an amazing kitchen demonstration, “cooking show style” and we share our love of nature and food with new friends. It was a satisfying success!
