Join us for a Metta Earth Ecological Leadership Intensives, igniting our generation to bring forth a thriving, just, and sustainable world!

 

While each training has a different focus, all take a holistic approach to transforming the rampant environmental and social justice issues facing society today.  We do this by providing participants with the knowledge, skills, and experiences to be effective leaders in their own communities. While each training will primarily delve into the main theme of the training, every program will offer participants the opportunity to:

 

  • Develop transformative leadership skills to help grow and accelerate the ‘movement of movements’ emerging in our time
  • Build specialized skills through hands on learning in organic gardening, animal husbandry, natural living, foraging, whole foods cooking and preserving, and farmstead lifeways.
  • Balance active learning experiences and classes with the contemplative practices of yoga and meditation.
  • Reconnect, energize, and gain new perspectives in the mountains of Vermont.
  • Experience community life on a deeper level through immersion in an intentional community.
  • Be inspired by skilled guest presenters and faculty.
  • Catalyze change by putting these skills and knowledge into action.

 

** College credit available. We offer a limited number of scholarships, so please inquire!
