Call of the Wild 2027

OUR FLAGSHIP COURSE – A YEAR LONG FOUNDATION IN OUTDOOR EDUCATION LEADERSHIP

CALL OF THE WILD JOURNEY

The process of developing our capacity for nature connection, in ourselves and others, is a thrilling and soulful adventure that’s full of potential opportunities, challenges and possibilities. This programme will give you the skills and tools to navigate this journey for yourself and to bring your leadership potential into focus, supported by experienced professionals, a community of like-minded and inspired peers, and a deep connection with the natural world itself. Through the programme you will develop a more grounded and effective approach to facilitating nature-connection, you will deepen your own connection with the natural world itself, and you will also be more connected to yourself and your aspirations. Another profound and far-reaching aspect is the deep bond formed with your peer group, typically 18-24 in number, and who become an increasingly important part of this unique journey.
