The Art of Mentoring: Creating a Living Culture of Awareness
October 18-25, 2008
Brattleboro, Vermont
Cost: Adults, $725 including meals and lodging

Concepts of good mentoring are crucial as we rediscover effective, natural ways of helping people develop deep connections to nature and their communities. If, like most of us, you didn't grow up surrounded by a natural mentoring culture, this is an opportunity to experience it firsthand, to develop a "felt sense" of how it works. The Art of Mentoring is a week-long immersion into this culture of awareness. Participants come together for storytelling, lectures, ceremonies, celebrations, singing, adventures, and time to wander alone and reflect. Whether it is your first time or your tenth, be ready for an intense week of adventure in The Art of Mentoring.
