Join us for the Metta Earth Leadership Training igniting a generation of
emerging leaders to bring forth a thriving, just, and sustainable world. The
Metta Earth Leadership Training is a 4-week training for college aged
students that takes a holistic approach to combating the rampant
environmental and social justice issues facing society today by providing
young people with the knowledge, skills, and experiences to be effective
leaders back in their communities. Participants will build their inner and
outer leadership abilities through experiential learning opportunities in
topics such as: organic farming & permaculture, ecovillage planning,
wilderness quests, yoga meditation, and social change organizing.  The
training will be held at the Metta Earth Institute- a learning community
actively committed to balancing the contemplative lifestyle with activism in
Lincoln, Vermont.

Throughout this four week course, participants will:

   -        Acquire practical skills and knowledge through hands on
   experiences in organic gardening, permaculture, ecovillage design, animal
   husbandry, natural living, foraging, whole foods cooking and preserving, and
   farmstead life-ways.


   - Develop transformative social change skills - storytelling, community
   building and organizing, authentic communication, and personal empowerment
   practices - to help grow and accelerate the ‘Movement of movements’ emerging
   in our time.


   - Deepen into your life's purpose with daily yoga meditation.


   -       Reconnect, energize, and gain new perspectives in a five day
   Wilderness Quest while learning to lead experiences in nature.


   -     Learn how to effectively facilitate the WakeUp experience, one of
   our generation's most powerful tools for raising awareness and inspiring
   action.
