Highlights An
Experience of Flow Learning
Based on the activities in Sharing Nature with Children Volumes I &
II. Joseph will lead you through an experience of his "Flow Learning"
system–a powerful tool to lead people from their present level of awareness
into closer contact with nature's healing presence.
Joseph has used the Flow Learning methods successfully with groups of
all ages, in wilderness areas and inner city playgrounds. Flow Learning
provides a framework to enhance all nature programs, since it is based
on universal principles of how people learn.
"This conference was so powerful because it prepares you for both
the inspirational and practical side of nature activities. I feel I have
touched nature with my heart, and I have the techniques to share it with
others."
Dani Doueiri, Lebanon
A "Listening to Nature" Outing in the High Sierras
Nature's serenity can renew your joy in life, as well as increase your
effectiveness personally and as an outdoor leader.
"After reading and using the activities in Listening to Nature, I
now recognize the difference between busily cataloguing an experience
and actually becoming that experience through stillness."
Ruth Maclean, Audubon Expedition Institute
Meditation & Nature Awareness
You can't always get away to nature to attune to the radiant peace you
feel there. But peace, energy, and clarity are available to you through
the practice of meditation. We will share a simple and profoundly effective
technique for quieting the mind and bringing it to a point of relaxed
concentration and upliftment. Meditation practice can help you express
deeper poise and joy in your relations with others–qualities that make
for more successful teaching and advocacy.
"I had often heard of meditation but never understood what value
it might have in my life. After seeing your poise and charisma during
your lecture in Frankfurt, I understand how I could benefit from the meditation
techniques you use."
Dr. Keith Clarkson, Director of Environmental Education, Peak
National Park, Great Britain
Journey to the Heart of Nature
During the retreat, you'll find your own special place in nature, and
spend some quiet time there, using the absorbing activities from Journey
to the Heart of Nature, a program designed for young adults but useful
for all ages. These wonderful "Journeying to the heart of nature is a journey of discovery to the
center of one's own heart."
Tom Dwyer, Nature Educator, The Conference Retreat Site & Accommodations

intentional communities. The Expanding Light, Ananda's guest facility,
