The Details

The program, which opens on October 4th, 2025, incorporates both live, online sessions and on-demand learning. Wherever you're based, it's possible for you to join us. Here's how it works:

  • Online materials and resources become available on October 4th. You can begin studying and practicing then, and our first live online session will be on October 11th.

  • Over the course of 4 months, we'll have 4 live Zoom calls. Your attendance is required at 1 session minimum (details on Zoom call timing and intention can be found below).

  • The bulk of your learning and practice will come from going through the online course material and practicing nature meditations in your own environment. You can bring any questions that arise to our live sessions together, or email them to me at any time during the course duration.

  • You'll have homework to complete before our virtual graduation ceremony (the 4th Zoom call). On that call, we'll do a nature meditation practice together and you'll receive your certificate as a symbol of your personal and professional growth.
