Underbelly welcomes you into summertime and the slow life. Even in these teetering times, we still live in a culture that is conditioned to be fast-paced, rushed, urgent, consumptive, busy, linear, goal-oriented, and hyper-masculine. Underbelly opens us to other modes of being.....a life that has a lot more room for listening, spaciousness, feeling, introspection, reflection, and receptivity. A life that is more attuned to nature than consumed by technology. A life where humans can live closer to their heart, intuition, and authenticity above what mainstream culture prescribes. A life that encourages you to explore outside your outworn habits, coping mechanisms, and social programming. A life that opens you to the incredible textures and intelligence of your body and the land. A life that allows you to dive into the inexplicable interconnectedness of all things.

- Make sure to fill out the volunteer wavier and send it back to me (for the confirmed group)
- It's tick season, so here are some recommendations from the ranch (we won't be working/moving in overgrown areas, so not to worry): 

• Wear long pants and long-sleeved shirts. Tuck pant legs into boots or socks and tuck shirts into pants.
• Wear light-colored clothing so ticks can be easily seen.
• Use a repellent registered for use against ticks; always follow label directions.
• Stay in the middle of a trail and avoid logs, tree trunks, trail margins, brush and grassy areas.
• Inspect yourself frequently while in tick habitat. Once out of tick habitat, thoroughly check your entire body and pets. Parents should examine their children, especially on the scalp and hairline.
• Shower and launder clothes soon after activity in tick habitat.
