PARENTING WORKSHOPS
​
It takes a village to raise a child.
We've all heard this but how many of us have such resources of community support as we tend to our children.
​
The programs and workshops offered here are aiming to serve as a one of those resources. Connecting parents and their families to their authentic style of raising our kids, immersed in nature and with much less stress.
​
Group Sessions or One on One support can be custom created with one or many of the topics listed:
​
- Helicopter vs. Hummingbird:
how to give your kids space while staying present
​
- Forest School Families:
how to support your child's exploration of the natural world
​
- Emergent Curriculum:
a guide to authentic education and what it means to 'unschool'
