STATUS:CONFIRMED
DESCRIPTION:Take your teaching and mentoring to the next level with coyote 
 mentoring – a proven\, nature-based method that creates deeply engaging\, 
 transformational learning experiences.\nIn this immersive training\, Livin
 g Earth School shares the foundational tools and philosophy behind coyote 
 mentoring\, the core methodology that powers our award-winning programs fo
 r youth\, teens and adults. You’ll learn how to guide learning and growth 
 in a way that sparks curiosity\, builds confidence\, and fosters a meaning
 ful connection to the natural world. By observing the natural flow of the 
 days and seasons\, you’ll come away feeling inspired to plan a meeting\, a
  program\, or a lesson plan that works with rather than against our human 
 nature. \nIn addition to learning this model\, you’ll simply have a lot of
  fun outside engaging with “primary satisfactions” like making fire\, nibb
 ling on edible plants\, and puzzling over a mysterious animal track. \nThi
 s course is ideal for teachers\, parents\, homeschool educators\, mentors\
 , outdoor educators\, and community leaders who want to create more impact
 ful\, relationship-centered learning environments. While rooted in nature 
 connection\, these mentoring principles are widely applicable in classroom
 s\, workplaces\, and everyday life. \nParticipants who complete the progra
 m will receive a certificate of completion. \nLearn from Experienced Natur
 e Mentors\nYour instructors\, Hub Knott (LES Co-Founder and Executive Dire
 ctor) and Erin “Soupy” Campbell (longtime LES instructor)\, each bring ove
 r 20 years of experience in nature-based education\, mentoring\, and exper
 iential learning. Their approach is grounded in how people naturally learn
  – through curiosity\, storytelling\, and hands-on experience. \nOne of th
 e most powerful aspects of this method is that learners become so engaged 
 in the process that learning happens organically\, often without them even
  realizing it. \nEach session blends lecture\, storytelling\, discussion\,
  hands-on activities\, and games creating a dynamic\, interactive\, and en
 joyable learning environment. \nWhat You’ll Learn\n\nHow people naturally
