What teachers are saying…
I am incredibly grateful that I made the decision to join the Circle
“The Circle provides me with the proper tools and a framework for moving forward, and even though I’ve learned so much already, I continue to find tremendous value in the support and inspiration in every meeting. I am incredibly grateful every day that I joined the Circle. It’s completely transformed my perspective as an educator, and I want to shout from the mountain tops how incredible it is to work with children outdoors! Frankly, after almost twenty years of working with children, I feel completely reignited!”

The greatest impact is the Exploring Nature in Winter Master Class
“This course provides concrete and easy to implement tips and tricks not only for “getting through” these months, but for reigniting your own childlike wonder and curiosity in all that winter has to offer. I gained creative ideas, a fresh perspective and a deep sense of community with others in the class.”
– Michelle (Virginia)
