WORKSHOPS + TRAININGS

La Mère Nature has been offering training in nature education for over 15 years and is part of the extraordinary team of teachers who, since 2019, have trained over 300 nature ambassadors in Quebec via the 450-hour Attestation d'Études Collégiales (AEC) in Ecoeducation through Nature at the Cégep de Rivière-du-Loup (Quebec). Today, I'm proud to see a multitude of small training courses and nature projects come to life thanks to our wonderful graduates. Quebec is changing. More and more children and adults now have the chance to experience an education more in tune with life and nature!

 

 

My vision?

 

Since everything starts in nature and everything is interconnected, the place of the child and the human being is in this ecosystem. If we want happy, healthy children and adults, we have to change our methods and our way of life to rediscover the profound meaning of our nature in harmony with living things.

​

Faced with a shrinking world and growing ecological and social challenges, education must find its way into the very heart of nature and humanity, and this can only be done by infusing it with a great deal of sensitivity.

 

Putting the child, the guide and nature back together through sensitivity is a fundamental step in education, and is the basis of the Earth Pedagogy I co-founded with nature and my connection with life. This is where we need to start: rediscovering our awareness of our connection and kinship with the living world, nature, the elements and all its cycles and inhabitants, in order to rediscover a place and role that is fair and equitable, but also satisfying and in harmony with our deepest essence. 

 

My approach? It's distinguished by the various paths, field experiences and studies that have led me to this point over the past 30 years: social work, social intervention, eco-education through nature, Forest School, the Coyote and Jon Young programs, native mentors, ancestral wisdom, Waldorf and Montessori pedagogies, neuroscience and primitive neurological reflexes, yoga, meditation, mindfulness, the human continuum, permaculture and much more.
