EarthWise Education believes that taking care of yourself, others, society and the earth are intertwined. By sharing this earthly wisdom and providing innovative frameworks & skills, we create together an ecological web that contributes to a sustainable world in a meaningful and energizing way. As a Learning Center for Ecopsychology and Connecting with Nature, we are curious to get to know you. Will you join us in building a more resilient, equal and sustainable society? Do you also want to further develop your professional skills in guiding people, in and with nature, in a scientifically substantiated way? Do you also want to dive into the inspiring world of ecopsychology?
