Green Learning
Discussions, Lectures & Forums
Eco-Adventure
Green Learning reaches beyond mainstream environmental education and is designed to broaden our understanding of where we live and how we can better live in relationship with all other living beings. Learn systems thinking, organizational leadership
in the face of climate
change, how to create sustainable communities and transportation alternatives, carbon nance and green building. Learn about wild- crafting and wild foods,
ways of being and knowing that seek both First Nation’s and earth’s wisdom through ecopsychology and nature- based practices and learn how to start a forest school. Take a sobering look under the “consumer rug” and “business as usual” mantra as we ask open-ended questions about a more life- sustaining world that most seriously includes looking deeply into our own human nature and becoming
more ourselves.
