High School Apprenticeship
For dedicated High School Students only
The apprenticeship has been designed for dedicated high school aged students who not only wish to take their own learning further by studying alongside their peers at the pace of their own choosing, but who also recognize the importances of sharing their learning with those younger then themselves.
"I've learned that there are far more subtle ways to approach life
than the common, forceful way that most take. In applying this to my life,
I have accomplished things that would not have been possible otherwise."
-HS senior/Apprentice
"I feel that I've learned to hear what peoples needs are
and I am better prepared to help them meet those needs."
-HS freshman/Apprentice
"One of the strongest points of the apprenticeship has been to witness
the look of joy in the faces of the children I work with each week and to know
that I played a role in creating that joy. It just makes me so happy!"
-HS Sophmore/Apprentice
"I've realized that I have something special to offer, gifts,
that I didn't even know I had."
-HS Sophmore/Apprentice
"I am so much more outgoing than I was before joining the apprenticeship!"
-HS Senior/Apprentice

The Family Nature Initiative
The Family Nature Initiative is a dynamic course in learning to read the human blueprint and the role that nature plays in the development of the self and family, so that parents and children may enhance their abilities to; communicate with one another, work together, celebrate, and to reflect upon the family they wish to create.
Each gathering will center around a theme. After a brief welcome, children will head out with seasoned mentors to play in and explore the natural world. Meanwhile, parents will remain behind in order to focus on the monthly topic with staff and guest instructors. During this period, parents, grandparent, aunts, uncles, and other family members will be instructed in a wide range of nature-based and cultural mentoring skills to empower them with powerful tools that will allow them deepen the connection to the children in their lives and the land that sustains them.
The second half of the day will allow adult participants to put their new awareness and understanding to work by experiencing the natural world with their families. Together, parents and their children will celebrate and enjoy one another as they seek to uncover the natural mysteries that are all around. During this time, staff will support parents by asking thought-provoking questions, making observations, encouraging individuals to try new skills, and demonstrating the application of what was discussed in the adult learning circle. This period is designed to empower each adult so that they may apply these teachings at home and elsewhere. Each participant will get out of the experience, exactly what they put into it!
