Nurtured by Nature
A conference to strengthen your connection to Nature and grow your understanding of Nature Based teaching
March 8, 2025
Why This Conference
It is our belief that nature is our biggest teacher. This conference will explore some of those teachings and how we can utilize them in our classrooms, with our children, in our work spaces and with ourselves. We can learn patience, expand empathy, and calm our nervous systems through time in nature, but we can also engage our senses and embrace the wonder of the world. It is this wonder that informs our teachings in the classroom. Join us for this adventure.
Who This Conference is For
Educators in schools and homeschools who understand the importance of being outside and are looking for inspiration for ways to engage kids in the outdoors while integrating nature with schoolwork.
