HOW TO GET INVOLVED

Three ways to
join our mission

Practitioners & Leaders

Partner Organizations

Join The Collaborative Network

A free community for nature-based teachers, practitioners, and mission-aligned leaders to connect, learn, and grow together.

For Teachers

Work
With Us

Are you trained in guiding groups in nature-based connection and aligned with our mission? We are looking to grow our network of guides, facilitators, mindfulness-teachers for future offerings. We pay teachers so you and your partner organization can concentrate on serving the communities that need it most.

To qualify, you should be trained in one of the traditions or methodologies we support, and have an existing or proposed relationship with an organization you would like to offer a program through. Please note that a partner organization is one that actively participates in serving and bringing the participant audience to the program — not simply a venue. Programs must serve at least 15 participants (Ages 18+).

For Organizations

Partner
With Us

If you serve one of our target audiences and would like to host a future program, please reach out. We have an extensive national network of guides, facilitators, mindfulness-teachers and may be able to pair you with someone who can serve your community directly.

Together, we are building a movement — reconnecting people to nature, to themselves, and to what matters most. We are committed to building partnerships with non-profit organizations, universities, informal education centers, healthcare institutions, and other like-minded organizations that provide outdoor spaces to assist in offering, promoting, and administering Mindful of Nature sessions to increase resilience, awareness, and connection to the natural world.

For Teachers, Practitioners & Leaders
