Joseph Bharat Cornell is a three-time prize-winning, internationally renowned author, educator, and founder of Sharing Nature Worldwide, one of the planet’s most widely respected nature awareness programs and he is offering a teaching workshop Saturday August 29th in Nevada City. Mr, Cornell’s bestselling Sharing Nature book series is used by millions of parents, educators, naturalists, youth, and religious leaders across the globe.
In his three-hour workshop, Cornell utilizes innovative nature awareness games which draw on meditation, reflection and hands on experiences to awaken enthusiasm and focus attention on the natural world. These activities make outdoor learning fun, meaningful, and deeply inspiring. While playing these games, parents, educators and nature enthusiasts actually feel they are a part of nature, and ecology becomes—not just a concept—but a life-changing awareness. Cornell’s expertise, irrepressible enthusiasm, blend of knowledge and warmth creates an atmosphere for learning that is contagious. Come learn tools from an expert which you can incorporate into your daily life as a teacher, naturalist or guide.
Cornell’s first book, Sharing Nature with Children, was selected by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service as one of the fifteen most influential books published since 1890 for connecting children and families to nature. His recent book, The Sky and Earth Touched Me: Sharing Nature Wellness Exercises, was a 2015 Indie Book Awards Grand Prize Winner.
At this workshop you will learn from the author himself about Flow Learning™—a powerful tool to lead others from their present level of awareness into closer contact with nature. This teaching model, applicable to any subject, shows how to awaken enthusiasm for learning and sensitively guide others, step by step, to more profound nature experiences.
The pioneering Japanese conservationist, Tanaka Shozo, said, “The care of rivers is not a question of rivers but of the human heart.” In order to create a society that truly reveres the natural world, we must offer its citizens life-changing experiences in nature. During Mr. Cornell’s program, you will discover many powerful and innovative methods for sharing with others, the joy of nature.
