NOW ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS TO THE 2024-2025 AWAKE IN THE WILD TEACHER TRAINING IN NORTH AMERICA
Awake in the Wild Teacher Training
Led by Mark Coleman and Lori Schwanbeck
The Awake in the Wild Teacher Training is an apprenticeship training in guiding contemplative nature practice, inspired by wisdom teachings from the Buddhist tradition, by Mark’s book Awake in the Wild (AITW) and by the wilderness retreats led by Mark and Lori for more than two decades across the Americas.
The Awake in the Wild Teacher Training is for people who care deeply about the earth, who have a strong Dharma / meditation practice and who take that contemplative presence into the outdoors. Equally important, it is for those who feel called to take people deep into nature with a spirit of reverence and contemplation.
The 2024-2025 training program will be held in North America.
