Fw: Awake in the Wild Teacher Training

Greetings,

I hope this finds you well and enjoying the beauty and quietude of the autumn season.

As you may have read in my announcements these last few months, I recently taught at two Awake in the Wild Teacher Training retreats, one in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado to conclude the 2023 US training program and one to begin my 2023-2024 program in Europe. I feel delighted and rejuvenated from the rich contemplative time outdoors and inspired by these new groups of nature lovers who will be sharing and teaching these nature meditation practices to their own groups.

So I am very happy to say that I am accepting applications to my seventh Awake in the Wild Teacher Training, a ten-month program designed to give you the tools to teach meditation in the outdoors. And, for those who apply before December 1, I am offering a discount on your tuition.

The 2023 US Awake in the Wild Teacher Training.

The 2023-2024 European Awake in the Wild Teacher Training.

The Awake in the Wild Teacher Training draws on my 20+ years of leading nature meditation retreats, nature-based sensory awareness practices, Buddhist-inspired mindfulness meditation, and my book, Awake in the Wild. All this has helped me create a teacher training program uniquely qualified to prepare you for the joys and challenges of teaching outdoors in any natural setting.

The program starts in September 2024 with an in-person training retreat and includes three other in-person training retreats the following January, April and July of 2024. There will also be online meetings with me between retreats, reading assignments, and home practice designed to clarify your practice and build your skills as a teacher.

A central component of the program is the amazing learning community that is created between the students. People from past trainings have formed deep and lasting friendships as well collaborative teaching relationships. Students learn much from the depth and experience of each other as they learn to practice and teach nature meditation.

I've seen firsthand how powerful this training program can be and how it can help launch people doing wonderful nature-based contemplative work all over the globe.

For those wishing to deepen their understanding of nature-based mindfulness practice and those wishing to learn how to share these profound practices, I hope you consider joining the Awake in the Wild Teacher Training program.

And if you know someone who would be a good candidate for this practice, please feel free to share this with them.

Blessings,
Mark

Awake in the Wild Teacher Training

The Awake in the Wild Teacher Training is a thorough training in guiding mindfulness-based nature meditation practice. Nature meditation brings mindful awareness practices into the outdoors as a support for presence, connection, awe and insight. Mark is excited to share this cherished work with a group of dedicated nature meditation practitioners that will give them tools to begin to share similar practices with others.

This program will have four residential nature-based learning retreats with Mark: two retreats are in California, one is in the mountain forests of New Mexico, and one is in the desert of Baja California, Mexico. There will also be monthly online tutorials, personal nature-based work, and a teaching practicum. Please join Mark and a fabulous cohort of like-minded trainees who will provide strong support for the learning experience.
