Nature flows in beautiful, subtle rhythms: the cycle of the day, of the moon, of the seasons; the life cycles of plants and animals. All these rhythms are expressions of the same basic pattern, and that pattern is also found in how humans grow and learn.
In today’s world, it is more vital than ever that we are mentoring youth in nature. One can learn many of the skills we feature on this web site, but what does it all really mean if we are not passing on these arts to our children?
Whether you are mentoring a kid in the neighborhood or a class of students, you will need tools to help you. We hope our section on Mentoring Youth inspires and informs you on your journey as a mentor.
