The 6-day Natural Mentors Retreat: Deep Nature Community Immersion, held at 58-acre Earth Native Wilderness School, is an opportunity to reflect on ancient human concepts and explore methodologies that can help us to reconnect with each other, the natural world, and begin healing our modern classrooms, communities, and selves.

​Learn incredible skills passed on through generations of teachers, mentors, and storytellers from around the world. How do we unlock our children’s natural gifts and passions? How do we develop independent motivated self-learners? How did past societies transmit encyclopedic levels of knowledge about plants, animals, trees, and the environment from generation to generation without books, computers, or cell phones? Join Earth Native as we unlock these powerful teaching and mentoring tools for your family, your community, your students and yourself!

Some of the key concepts include:

• Rewilding ourselves and our kids
• Our primal brain, mind, and nature and how to access them in modern times
• The power of nature for learning, growing, and healing
• Ways to utilize inspiration as fuel that leads to successful learning experiences

• An introduction to core ancestral skills including fire-making, survival skills, tracking, bird language, ethnobotany and more
• Designing, developing, and facilitating a learning community where everyone plays the role of teacher, learner, and mentor simultaneously
