Why might I take this course?

Shift to a Greener Mindset.

• This course is open to anyone who wants to strengthen their relationship with nature, is drawn to meeting like-minded people, worries about the state of our planet, and wants to turn feelings of helplessness into a sense of agency and meaningful action.
