Get Involved Today

Teachers: Are you trained in nature-based mindfulness and aligned with our mission? We are looking to grow our network of teachers, facilitators and guides for future offerings. Reach out to us if you are a qualified teacher, in one of the traditions/methodologies described below, and have an existing or proposed relationship with an organization you would like to offer a program in partnership with. We pay teachers so you can concentrate on offering your teachings and your partner organization can focus on impacting one of the audiences we serve. Please review our Impact page to read more about the audiences we serve and the surveys we administer at all of our partner programs.

Partner Organizations: If you serve one of our target audiences, described on our Impact page, and would like to host a future program, please reach out. We’d love to hear from you. 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.

Funding Support: Your support allows us to pay teachers fair rates, offer programs at low or no cost to participants, and build long-term partnerships with organizations that serve those most in need. Contact us to learn how you can support scaling our efforts.

We are currently focusing on offering these program formats by a trained teacher from our national network:

• Half-Day Retreats: Half-day sessions designed for flexibility and honoring busy lives
• Full-Day Retreats: Immersive, full-day experiences in natural settings
• Mindfulness-Based Nature Connection (MBNC™) 6-Module Program

These programs integrate mindfulness meditation, sensory awareness, guided nature connection practices, and small group reflection. Sessions are trauma-informed, inclusive, and rooted in the teachings of respected traditions such as:

• The Japanese practice of Shinrin-yoku or “Forest Bathing”
• Nature-based mindfulness from Awake in the Wild
• Kripalu’s Mindful Outdoor guides
• Joanna Macy’s Work That Reconnects
• The Nature Dharma teacher training program
• One Earth Sangha’s EcoSattva Training
