Description
Join The Kiva Center for Rooted In Wonder, a two-day, two-night outdoor immersion training designed for educators, parents, mental health professionals, and any adult who feels the ache of these times- who sense, deep down, that another way is possible.
The gathering is for those who long to reconnect with the rhythms of the Earth and the sacred responsibility we hold to the next generation. Rising anxiety, fractured attention, and a fading sense of curiosity and wonder. If you are an educator, caregiver, or community leader seeking meaningful ways to foster engagement, emotional resilience, and belonging, this program offers grounded, nature-based practices that support the whole human—while renewing your own sense of purpose and connection.
Whether you are returning to Rooted in Wonder or joining us for the first time, this year’s training stands on its own while deepening prior learning. Together, we will explore rites of passage, nature-based human development, natural crafting, and developing community culture grounded in relationship with the living world.
