We’re all hardwired for nature connection. You can see it every day in kids running around, building cubbies, playing with sticks and climbing trees.
As adults we can forget that connection, but the times are calling for us to remember it. If you want to reignite that feeling in yourself or in your community, then Nature-based Leadership Training is for you.
Delivering community learning that is grounded in the natural world, CERES and Nature’s Apprentice offer a program that helps create the kind of earth-based leadership and resilience we need now and in the coming decades.

Kick start your 2025
Through learning rewilding practices, community building, survival skills, storytelling, and how to truly live our purpose, we can re-imagine our relationship with the Earth and each other.
Beginning with a nature-immersion retreat, then a program of weekly in-person learning, this course is for people from all backgrounds and experiences. Entry-level people are welcome.
“The strengthening of my resolve to do the work I am doing, and awareness of the skills I can offer, beside an embodied commitment to being part of the change that is needed right now, are all a result of the time I spent with you and the group last year. ” – 2022 Merri-Bek Scholarship participant.
