Month Long Intensives
This page serves as our roadmap of how we will bring our students into the community landscape. We are seeking donors & students to make this a reality.
Stewardship School teaches Young Adults to be in right relationship with themselves & the world
Steward the Inner & Outer Landscapes to Know, Heal & Embody your Sacred Self.
Stewardship School sets up camp in the landscape of a local non-for-profit organization. Utilizing Permaculture, we design & create community gardens & food forests while students learn & practice the philosophy of Yoga to cultivate their Inner Landscapes.
Students can attend any or all classes to enjoy & participate in these teachings. To be invited, we ask that students fill out our application and have a short interview with a Mentor. There is a sliding scale donation during the pilot run of this program.
Schedule for Month Long Intensives:
Weekend Workshops at Happy Tales Animal Sanctuary
Virtual sessions throughout the week (hosted by Temple of Tribe)
What is the Stewardship School?
Stewardship School hosts a month long intensive to educate students in the methods that can transform their Inner & Outer Landscapes.
At Weekend Workshops, we meet in the landscape of a local organization, from Friday to Sunday. We gather & camp as a community to share 3 vegetarian meals a day, knowledge & reverence for the Earth. Here, Mentors teach the Inner & Outer Methods of Stewardship through hands-on training. Stewardship is a Parallel Process to heal the land and ourselves.
We will transform the landscape, establishing gardens that provide long term solutions for its community and wildlife. As we garden, Students learn to cultivate fulfillment, awareness & connection to realize their highest potential.
Mentors & Counselors guide students to Know, Heal & Embody their Sacred Self on the Journey of Stewardship

Who is This Program For?
Stewardship School is designed for students who are passionate about healing the Earth and themselves. We actively serve & protect our community & the Earth.
Tending to the garden, we learn to become responsible for ourselves and others. Students will experience a full spectrum of learning; from weeding to designing full gardens.
This practice of gardening will reflect into their inner life. Students need a willingness to weed out the harmful habits & behaviors that limits their Sacred Self & their highest potential. All students will go beyond what they believe they are capable of to enjoy the fruits of a flourishing inner garden!
Supporting our Students
Students have the support of their group, mentors and counselors in-person during Weekend Workshops and during the week via live gatherings on Zoom.
Counseling - have a one-on-one guide on your personal journey of self-discovery. You will meet with your counselor weekly.
Group Culture - grow as an individual in a group setting
Telegram Community - share your journey and support others on theirs
Students will leave the program with Therapeutic Goals to work towards on their personal journey with their family and post-program counseling.
What Can I expect on the road of Stewardship?
Journey of Stewardship. Stewards take the road less traveled, making it their personal responsibility to create a new world and embody their Sacred Self!
Team Work - You’re not alone! This therapeutic process is an individual's journey within a group setting - learning to heal one's self while offering our personal gifts to our community, family & friends.
Education. Equipped with the Four Teachers & sciences of Permaculture & Yoga, stewards use their education to create Beauty & Medicine for themselves & their community.
Skills. Stewards train in Empowerment, Mindfulness & Connection to bring abundance into the landscape, inside and out, to enrich their community, benefit wildlife & feed our families.
Well Being. Work with your Counselor to make your Dharma Design to create a healthy Lifestyle for body, mind & spirit.
Spiritual Development. Just as we tend to young trees so they one day produce fruit, we can tend to our Inner self to realize the fruits of our Sacred Self. These fruits ripen into our Medicine Bundle, the one-of-a-kind way we were born to contribute to the world.
