Grounded in a nature-based framework for transformation, the program explores the relationships among identity, land, resources, history, interpersonal communication, healing, and leadership.
Participants will examine how healthy human relationships support broader sustainability. Through conceptual learning, live online classrooms, experiential education, and cohort practice, they will build capacities that can be applied immediately in their workplaces, communities, and professional relationships.
