HOW TO GET INVOLVED

Three ways to
join our mission

Program Leaders

Experienced in guiding groups through nature-based practice and aligned with our mission? Join our national network and get paid to bring this work to the communities we serve.

Partner Organizations

Already working with communities that need grounding, resilience, and connection? We can pair you with an experienced practitioner from our national network to bring nature-based practice directly to your group.

Join The Collaborative Network

A free community for those drawn to the restorative power of nature, whether you guide, facilitate, lead, support, or simply believe in this work and the communities it serves.

For Program Leaders

Work With Us

Do you bring groups into meaningful connection with nature and share our commitment to the communities we serve? We are growing our national network and would love to include you. We compensate our program leaders so that you and the organizations you work with can stay focused on the people you serve.

To qualify, you should have substantive training in a nature-based practice or tradition and an existing or proposed relationship with an organization committed to serving the communities we work with together. A partner organization is one that actively participates in connecting people to the program, not simply a space where it takes place. Programs must serve at least 15 participants (Ages 18+).

For Organizations

Partner With Us

If your organization serves communities that could benefit from deeper connection to the natural world, we would love to explore what a partnership might look like. Our growing national network of guides, facilitators, and practitioners may be able to bring this work directly to the people you care about most.

Together we are building a movement rooted in the belief that nature has something profound to offer everyone. We welcome partnerships with nonprofits, universities, healthcare institutions, informal education centers, and any organization whose mission is genuinely aligned with fostering resilience, presence, and connection in the communities they serve.

Program Leaders & Practitioners

Join The Collaborative Network

The Mindful of Nature Collaborative Network is a free and inclusive community for nature-based guides, facilitators, practitioners, and mission-aligned leaders to connect, share, and grow together. Whether you are deepening your practice, expanding your reach, or simply looking for colleagues who share your values, there is a place for you here.
Through peer dialogue, collaborative learning, and shared resources, members grow in confidence, deepen their work, and build the kinds of connections that make a movement possible. Always free for anyone actively contributing to our shared mission.
