8. Animal Locomotion – Animal Locomotion in ethology, is any of a variety of movements or methods that animals use to move from one place to another. Some modes of locomotion are self-propelled, e.g., running, swimming, jumping, flying, hopping, soaring and gliding.
Animals move for a variety of reasons, such as to find food, a mate, a suitable microhabitat, or to escape predators. For many animals, the ability to move is essential for survival and, as a result, natural selection has shaped the locomotion methods and mechanisms used by moving organisms. For example, migratory animals like humans that travel vast distances, typically have a locomotion mechanism that costs very little energy per unit distance, whereas non-migratory animals that must frequently move quickly to escape predators are likely to have energetically costly, but very fast, locomotion.
9. Art Therapy – An exploration through colored earths, pigments found in nature such as:
pomegranate, curcumin, avocado, carrots, onion peels, coffee and more.
We will explore color through an active meditation to channel and manifest all the beautiful wonders of our plant kingdom. This activity helps you to unlock the creative you already are! Free flowing.
