Moon to Put Your Paddles Away
Late November to late December is the Moon to Put Your Paddles Away. This moon signals a time to move indoors for the coming winter season. During the winter moons, tools, baskets, and other items are constructed. In this month's video you can learn how to make a rose cedar lotion bar, a trauma balm for the skin, and beeswax wraps!
CSSP collaborated with the Swinomish people to create a video series corresponding to the 13 Moons curriculum, offering a video for each moon. The 13 Moon’s Curriculum was developed by the Swinomish Community Environmental Health program with the goal to create an informal and scalable model of environmental health education through the lens of first foods and resources. To access the curriculum, and see the activities for this month, click here.
