Nature Connection Education

Knowing that you love the earth changes you, activates you to defend and protect and celebrate. But when you feel that the earth loves you in return, that feeling transforms the relationship from a one-way street into a sacred bond.

At Outside Now, skilled nature connection mentors “read the landscape” and follow the flow of a day and the cycles of the seasons to create gently guided outdoor days filled with sensory-rich, nature-led experiences for young children, youth, and teens. We bring forward seasonal celebrations, facilitate extended wilderness adventures, and develop rites of passage challenges on the land. 

Outside Now exists to bring next generations into an ever-deepening relationship with the natural world, where we each remember or refine our inextricable place within the fabric of nature. On this transformational journey, we discover our own innate gifts and practice living in balance and harmony with all life forms.
