Two Day Workshop
During a Two Day Workshop, we are together for twelve hours. We offer the basic One Day Workshop including additional nature activities and teaching methods. The second day allows time for assimilation and comprehension of the many new techniques being learned. Also, because of the number of activities shared in the Two Day Workshop, participants will gain a deeper understanding of our outdoor teaching strategy, Flow Learning™ and its four stages: Awaken Enthusiasm, Focus Attention, Direct Experience, and Share Inspiration. A special feature of the Two Day Workshop is a class on “How to Be an Inspiring Teacher”.

We are happy to custom-make this workshop for you and your group. Often the workshop is an evening, a full day and then a morning session. We like to be creative. We love being with you for this extended time. It gives us all a chance to really bond, share experiences and learn from one another.
