Spend 3 days outside reconnecting with the land as a place of learning, relationship, and renewal.

This three-day retreat invites elementary educators and nature-based practitioners to explore the foundations of outdoor learning while experiencing adaptable activities that can be brought directly into nature spaces within programs and schools.

Together, we will explore:
*What outdoor learning is: Rhythm, Reciprocity & Relationship
*Why teaching outside matters
*How the natural world can become an active partner in learning
*How to set up for success and practical considerations around proper outdoor clothing, weather, and safety
*How the changing seasons can provide a natural framework for curriculum, inquiry, and observation

Key Components:
*Land as Teacher
Shift perspective from simply learning about nature to learning with and from the land. Explore ways to notice what a place has to teach us and how the landscape can shape the curriculum.

*Movement & Restoration
The day will include a practice such as yoga, sound healing, or Tai Chi to explore movement, grounding, and restoration in an outdoor setting.

*Outdoor Learning Activities
Participate in hands-on activities and Nature Art projects, that can be adapted for different ages, settings, seasons, and learning goals.

*Three Days of Learning, Experiencing & Reflecting - this retreat can be set up to meet your organization's needs, whether over a long weekend in the fall, or 3 days in summer

Participants will have extended time outdoors to experience the natural world

*20 PD clock hours included
