NATURE CONNECTION TEACHER TRAINING

In times like these, it’s easy to wake up feeling trapped in despair, worrying about the state of the environment and your future.

But let’s be honest getting stuck here isn’t an option because deeper than any despair is a powerful fire that burns in your belly.

A fire that is beckoning & compelling you to step up and help lead your community home to the natural world.

Through teaching and sharing the power of nature connection practices you will embody a life full of purpose as you craft real world solutions to our culture’s environmental crisis.

We did it and we know you can too!

We have designed this Nature Connection Teacher Training program to empower you as a cultural change agent, quicken your spiritual growth and support your career.

In this 7-month Teacher Training you will study and use the foundational skills of Nature Connection to:

1) LEARN the mindset, skills and magic needed to facilitate transformational Nature Connection Programs,

2) DEVELOP a unique program offering and digital marketing strategy full of passion and integrity, AND that actually works,

This Nature Connection Teacher Training empowers your dream to take the power of earth connection into every sphere of Western culture.

Through this training will be using the skills and practices taught in Nature ONE as a template to develop your own transformational Nature Connection program.

Your mission is to use the foundational Nature Connection skills taught in Nature ONE to learn (and master) the key ingredients needed to lead your clients into states of deep nature connection, transformation and personal growth.

This is what humans are hungry for today! Powerful embodied states of connection to nature that create undeniable states of belonging and greater purpose.

These embodied states act as change agents fuelling our cultural desire to deeply understand how to live sustainably and protect our environment.

Nature Connection programs that create these states are a lot like weaving a basket….

Where the basket is the program container you weave and hold your participants in as they seek to change their lives and gain greater wisdom through direct experience of Nature Connection practices.

We are ready to show you how to weave in a way that deeply reaches people and facilitates true deep nature connection, personal growth and cultural transformation.

During this 7mth journey, you will:

• Quicken the growth of your personal power

• Deepen your dirt time and direct experience with introductory to advanced Nature Connection skills,

• Walk away with a ready-to-run, targeted and unique transformational Nature Connection program,

• Learn powerful presentation & communication skills,

• Learn how to use online marketing and business knowledge to successfully run your own business.

All of which will set you apart from the crowd and give your offering a compelling and magnetic nature.  

The sky is really the limit as you craft, with our guidance, a program suited to schools, government departments, community groups, women’s groups, men’s groups, families and the general public.

Our previous participants have done exactly this by launching a wide variety of exciting offerings out in the world.

They have ranged from bush schools, men’s and women’s programs, art-based Nature Connection weekend workshops, podcasts, hiking adventures and more…

You can check out some of our graduate businesses here.

YOUR COMMITMENT

We need Teacher Trainers who are hungry and ready to work with us and join the ranks of Earth Protectors!

This is where your intention, commitment and personal energy becomes a critical factor in your success.

Your passion and love for the earth is magnetic and compelling.

During our 7 months together we will help you understand the power of your passion and how to authentically and holistically market yourself out into the world.

We are ready to ignite a fire with you so you can drive your life from your passions and vision.

WHO ARE WE?

Sam and I have been crafting earth-based transformational programs and successfully running a purpose driven for-profit business for over 20 years.

We consistently sell out our programs and understand what it takes to really make your love of nature and the reality of money work in the world that is.

We have successfully facilitated Australia’s only year-long Wilderness Living program, launched & sustained numerous in-person programs and have developed epic online offerings that also contain true transformation for our Soul Tribe.

We have been written about in numerous books, quoted in the press and offered Nature Connection pathways to corporate companies, government departments and school groups - in the form of multiple, to one-day programs, and everything in between!

We understand what it takes to develop a Nature Connection program that grabs the attention of your Soul Tribe and transform their connection to the natural world.

Through your Teacher Training, we are committed to offering you a unique experience that shares with you the insider knowledge of HOW to successfully craft programs with all of the heart and power that has come to define our many Nature Philosophy programs.

We really want to help you achieve this!

Now is the time - Nature Connection is finally becoming a mainstream concern and a wide number of people in our society are hungry to understand how they can deeply connect to the natural world and help protect it for future generations.

We truly believe Nature Connection practices and Rewilding programs have the power to transform the most antiquated cultural institutions.

It’s time we craft a sustainable future defined by environmental sustainability and human well-being.

Are you ready to step up and guide our culture out of the environmental crisis?

If not you, then who will do this work?

INDIGENOUS CONNECTIONS

One of the aspects of our business model which makes our experience unique is our long standing and genuine connections to numerous Australian indigenous communities.

Offering culturally appropriate nature connection programs where you are working with your local mob is a critical step in reconciliation and regenerative cultural practices.

We can share with you key cultural considerations for engaging with indigenous communities and how to develop long-lasting and real relationships which repair invasion trauma.

So many people these days are seeking a deeper connection with indigenous elders but due to our huge cultural differences, we often come off as tokenistic in our approach.

Without you knowing, this often pushes away the most knowledgeable elders who are powerful and inspiring leaders. We can help you to understand the complex issues of cultural repair and cultural respect.

Plus, empower your ability to build strong and real connections to your relevant indigenous communities.

It would be a blessing for us to support you to do this work and grow the Vision of a sustainable future together.
