Adventure Into Wellness Training Series
June 7th: Day of Adventure Play & Exploration
This will be a highly interactive workshop. Some learning theory will be discussed, but this is mostly an opportunity to fill your group facilitator toolbox with games and activities designed to promote connection and belonging with your students, clients, or staff. We'll also be giving away some facilitation tools.

Professional Development Workshops & Keynotes
Counselors, educators, and group facilitators are immersed in experiential learning activities with teammates, then plan to critically apply these activities with their own clients and students. We use a group facilitation framework that can be used for classroom, gymnasium, outdoor, or in-office settings.
