The Small Earth Institute

The Small Earth Institute is an initiative for whole systems sustainable development and for ecological awareness and transformation in social institutions. We offer courses, workshops, and retreats aimed at developing ecological appreciation, the understanding of ecological principles, and applications for sustainability in classrooms, schools, and businesses.
We believe in an ecological imperative for individuals and society; that the development of ecological awareness with action is essential in order to protect and preserve the health and viability of the planet we live on and indeed, of ourselves as well. To this end, we focus on developing ecological understanding through nature experiences, teaching, and initiatives for sustainable development.

Nature activities, team building and small and large presentations are all available for schools and organizations. Longer courses and trainings can also be designed. Retreats, held in the summer, are open to all.
