Join us for a Metta Earth Leadership Training igniting our generation to bring forth a thriving, just, and sustainable world. These trainings take a holistic approach in creating a response to the rampant environmental and social justice issues facing society today by providing participants with the knowledge, skills, and experiences to be effective leaders in their communities. This program builds inner and outer leadership abilities through experiential learning opportunities in topics such as: organic farming & permaculture, ecovillage planning, primitive skills, yoga, meditation, social change organizing and ecopsychology.  While each session has a specific focus, in all of them participants will:

  • Develop transformative skills to help grow and accelerate the ‘movement of movements’ emerging in our time
  • Build specialized skills through hands on learning in organic gardening, animal husbandry, natural living, foraging, whole foods cooking and preserving, and farmstead lifeways.
  • Reconnect, energize, and gain new perspectives in the mountains of Vermont.
  • Learn to create events that help to spark change and enliven community life.
  • Balance social and environmental activism with the contemplative practices of yoga and meditation.
  • Be inspired by skilled guest presenters and faculty who are helping lead the social change movement.

Catalyze change by putting these skills and knowledge into action.
