Teacher Training Programs-
How do we teach about the realities of the crises facing our world and still inspire students to connect with and protect the amazing living systems of Earth?  What do you say to a student who sees no point in doing homework because the earth is dying? How do you connect them to the Great Turning and their inner resources.

1-3 day Training Programs that integrate environmental science, deep ecology, and the Work That Reconnects. Teachers will gain knowledge in ecology, environmental science and the tools needed to engage students in conversations about their fears for the future.  

The next transition, from the dominant scientific-technological period to the ecological period, is turbulent indeed. This turbulence establishes the context of our present educational discussions.”

These experiential workshops help teachers rediscover their interconnection to the web of life while honoring the emotions that arise when bravely facing the many crisis on our planet. We will learn some of the science of the living systems in which we live. We will find new ways of seeing our crises as opportunities and inspiring our students to find their role in the great turning toward a sustainable, abundant, vibrant and peaceful world.
