Relativity Explained -- Thought Experiments for Everyone
Two-hour session. No equations (well, one equation). I'll explain special and general relativity using the same thought experiments I used to discover them. Riding a beam of light. Trains and lightning strikes. Falling elevators. If you can imagine it, you can understand it. Tip: Relativity is not abstract. Your GPS uses it. Without relativistic corrections, your navigation would be off by 10 kilometers per day.
Steppe Survival Workshop -- Live Off the Land
Three-day outdoor survival. How the Mongol army traveled without supply lines. Dried meat under the saddle, fermented mare's milk, hunting on the move. Tip: A Mongol rider carries 10 days of food in two saddlebags. Learn to need less.
Mounted Archery Training -- Shoot From the Saddle
Mongol children ride at three, shoot at five. Mounted archery at walk, trot, and canter. Composite recurve, thumb draw, the Parthian shot. Tip: Do not aim. Become the arrow. Your body knows the trajectory.
Celtic War Chariot Driving Experience
Two-horse chariot, wicker-and-oak frame. My charioteers galloped along the yoke pole and threw javelins at speed. Tip: The chariot is mobile infantry -- ride to the fight, dismount, fight, ride away.
Decoy & Ambush Tactics Workshop
The decoy lures, the ambush kills. How to draw an enemy into a position of your choosing. Terrain selection, patience, the courage to stand alone in front of the enemy. At the Fetterman Fight, I taunted 81 soldiers into chasing me over a ridge where 2,000 warriors waited. Tip: The decoy who panics gets his friends killed. Be calm. Trust the plan.
Mountain Fortress Defense Workshop
Poenari Castle sits on a cliff above the Arges River. To reach it, attackers must climb 1,480 steps while my archers shoot down. This workshop covers mountain fortress selection, supply management, escape routes, and making the terrain fight for you.
Indian Cavalry Sword & Shield Training
Tulwar sword and dhal shield -- the weapons of Maratha cavalry. The tulwar has a distinctive disc pommel that locks the hand in place for powerful cuts. The dhal is a round steel shield, light enough for mounted use. I rode into battle with both, my son strapped to my back. Tip: The sword follows the horse. Learn to ride first, fight second.
Scientific Observation Skills -- Seeing What Others Miss
Small group (max 4). I will train your eye to notice anomalies. We will examine slides, cultures, and experiments looking for the unexpected. The mould on my petri dish was an anomaly. A hundred scientists would have thrown it away. I looked closer. The most important words in science are not Eureka -- they are That is funny.
Field Naturalist Kit (Notebook, Loupe, Guides)
Waterproof field notebook, 10x hand loupe, regional plant and bird identification guides, collecting vials, and a lightweight shoulder bag. Everything you need for a day of serious nature observation. My mother gave me a similar kit when I was eight.
Microscopy Workshop -- Seeing Germs
Hands-on microscopy. Prepare slides, stain bacteria, observe microorganisms that cause infection. My father improved the microscope lens. I used the improved microscope to see what was killing surgical patients. One generation builds the tool, the next uses it.
Microscope (Compound, Research Grade, 1000x)
Research-grade compound microscope with 40x, 100x, 400x, and 1000x magnification. Oil immersion lens. See bacteria, blood cells, plant cells, crystals. Comes with prepared slides and blank slides for your own specimens.
The Paradigm Workshop -- 3-Act Structure Masterclass
The workshop that changed screenwriting worldwide. In four hours, I break down the three-act structure using your favorite films. You'll never watch a movie the same way again. Bring a film you love and I'll show you its skeleton. Tip: The first ten pages are everything -- that's where the reader decides to keep going or toss your script.
