A Workshop with Barry Moses

A Workshop with Barry Moses

This workshop is designed for people involved with nature connection education and mentoring— including instructors, staff, board members, elders, and other organizational leaders and friends.

Barry will address culture, privilege, and the question of cultural appropriation in the nature education field. He invites us to consider: How can we practice culturally appropriate ways of teaching and mentoring a non-Native community? How can we fulfill our roles as allies to Native communities in our region?

Other topics may include: recognizing experiences of deep connection in the natural world, creating a deeper sense of place, and acknowledging the role of elders in community.
