NURTURE YOUR CONNECTION WITH THE EARTH
What is the earth saying to us? How can we learn to listen deeply and respond with wisdom?
Join author of Rewilding: Meditations, Practices, and Skills for Awakening in Nature, Micah Mortali; Native American culturalist, Shawn Stevens; spiritual intuitive, Zelda Hotaling; author of Your Guide to Forest Bathing: Experience the Healing Power of Nature, Amos Clifford; and seasoned survivalist, Taz Ramos, for a four-day summit on the Kripalu campus—the ancestral homelands of the Mohican people.
Filter through the noise in the media, sit together in council with earth elders and leaders, and nurture your personal connection with the earth as you deepen your knowledge of:
- Land stewardship and caretaking
- Forest bathing and nature meditation
- Ancestral skills and Indigenous wisdom
Gather with others who feel called to attune to the “more than human world" and return home a more mindful ambassador of the planet.

“Wild Play: Parenting Adventures in the Great Outdoors”
When David Sobel’s children, Tara and Eli, were toddlers, he set out to integrate a wide range of nature experiences into their family life, play, and storytelling. Blending his passion as a parent with his professional expertise, he created adventures tailored to their developmental stages: cultivating empathy with animals in early childhood, exploring the woods in middle childhood, and devising rites of passage in adolescence. Sobel weaves together adventures, fantastic stories, and developmental theory to present a model of instilling the wild into our parenting journeys with children.
