GOS isn’t just for kids.
Creating a culture of nature connection needs adults too! Whether you’re looking to dig into field guides, learn the principles of mentorship, or approach the big questions and the old stories, we’ve got a program for you.
Beneath, you’ll find all three yearlong adult offerings, and our newest 6-month program, PlantCraft. While they follow roughly the same framework (one Sunday meeting per month), they’ve each got a different focus and flavour.
Have a look below and visit the links to get a feel for each program. All are open to all experience levels (a range of experience enriches the programs for everyone). If you’ve enjoyed one program previously, you might enjoy one of the others this time round.
We’d love to see you soon!
