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.
