Art of Mentoring

What is the Art of Mentoring?

Essential for Parents Grandparents, Teachers, Outdoor Educators, Naturalists and Regenerative Communities.

Art of Mentoring is an immersion into a living, learning culture of nature and self-awareness. It provides knowledge, tools and practices that will enrich your relationships and allow you to create a powerful culture of nature connection in all aspects of your life and community.

In this week long flagship course you will receive an experiential introduction to the ‘8 sheilds‘ nature-based map for healthy culture, team building and learning.  It is primarily an adult focused training, and also has teen and youth programmes running along side it to offer a full village inter-generational mentoring experience.

‘Inspiring, Daunting, Liberating.’
David Young, script writer

“I expected to learn practical exercizes I could pass on, instead I got a whole map of transformation.”
Dr. Adrian Harris, eco-psychologist

The curriculum draws on a combination of approaches from modern education, indigenous wisdom, and principles observed in nature.  This course awakens new possibilities and provides clear specific ways of working.

“A mindshifting, heart opening, profoundly connecting extravaganza”
Ana Dijon, outdoor educator

 

 

Guided by an international team of experienced facilitators, each day includes personal and group activities.  These are largely outside and include the art of questioning, inner & land based tracking, naturalist education, sensory awareness training, inspirational story telling, singing, creative arts, ceremony and discussion.  Topics touched upon are as varied as child’s passions, essential elements of effective nature education, gender and inter-generational healing, and grief tending in community.  Throughout the week we will build a village rooted in nature, music and artful co-mentoring.

“I’ve seen these things talked about in many places but never have I seen them so truly embodied by the staff.  I feel renewed “ 

Myles Fernbank, Wilderness Scotland 

“At its best, the Art of Mentoring helps individuals realize their full potential to the benefit of their community.”
