For: Earth Keepers, Peace Makers, Environmental Activists, Mystic Explorers – persons, mid-teenagers and up, who are grateful for the many ways they and all life are nourished by the Earth; concerned about the many ways we abuse and consume the Earth; and willing to explore the call to “fall in love with the Earth… again.”
Outcomes: All of us leave having had experiences which challenge, stimulate, nudge us to reconsider, even re-conceive our relationship with the Earth and the call to “fall in love with the Earth… again,” why this is a vital matter now and how to make space in our hearts, minds, bodies and spirits to allow it to happen.
