"I love nature, nature is cool. The forest is my classroom, the earth is my school. Trees are my teachers, animals are my friends...and on this school ALL life begins." -Joe Riley (song)

Classes will be led by Sylvia Poareo and her children. 
Sylvia loves to help parents and children connect with nature, their hearts, spirits and imagination supporting conscious mothering and living as a viable option for all (for more, see "Meet Sylvia").
Her children love to be with animals, experience aliveness and freedom, share all that they have learned, and play with other children. Together they look forward to creating wonder-full days for you and your children.
The majority of proceeds go to support the children's animal rescue and social justice/service projects.
