1 Hour Workshop
​
Do you want to take a stand for nature? Do you want to encourage others to think more broadly about their place here on the earth? There is nothing more fundamental than our personal relationship with Nature; our personal lens determines what, where, and how we perceive Nature. To be more ecologically literate, we must examine our assumptions about Nature, but to be an Eco-Leader we must examine both our assumptions as well as our methods of learning. As individuals living in “Western” society, we accept a wide variety of fundamental beliefs about Nature and how to interact with it.
​
Each interaction as a leader is an opportunity to expand, alter and enrich each others ideas about the natural world. This talk explores concepts of self and our interconnectedness with the natural world. Preconceived notions of how we value and prioritize different ways of learning, such as the intellectual, the emotional, the physical, and environmental will be challenged. Let us expand the prospects for future generations.
