Field Notes from Jess ~ Rewilding in 2021 | Week 10/52 | Winter

Archery with Joel Turner and Shot IQ | Rewilding
52 Sundays of REWILDING in 2021 
Field Notes from Jess ~ Sunday 10/52 weekend in review: Peak learning experience as I took the Shot IQ Clinic with founder @joelturner_shotiq 
 
It was a real game-changer to work with this Pro Archer, Master Marksman and exceptional educator. His science based approach felt like working with Yoda as we dissected the neural pathways of the brain and how to defy our human instinct to take controlled shots. There is a Zen-like quality to this experience and the same techniques could be applied to meditation or truly any achievement that requires making a decision and following through with precision - without doubt.
I was thrilled to get up early the next day and practice my new skills. Archery is a brilliant activity for cultivating mindfulness and is a great rewilding tool ~ resiliency of the mind!
Bonus That Joel was kind enough to share some elk meat with me from his freezer. Switching my diet over to wild meat and fish is one of my goals in 2021 As I reduce my dependency on store bought packaged meat. This gift goes straight to the heart and to my home where it can be shared with my boys in gratitude. Thank you Joel!
Wildkind Academy will be putting together an archery Workshop soon, I can’t wait to introduce you to Joel Turner as our guest educator!
