Exploring a Sense of Place  

Exploring a Sense of Place

On to new beginnings

Exploring a Sense of Place will become a fiscally sponsored project of Acterra on July 1, 2010. Our purpose remains the same: Exploring a Sense of Place is a program designed to provide the means by which people anywhere on Earth can reconnect with the natural world where they live, assisted by our guidebook, leadership training workshops and local courses. The series of explorations foster familiarity with the local geology, weather and climate, wildlife and Earth wisdom of indigenous people.

Our current focus is to mentor individuals and groups through the use of our Exploring a Sense of Place guidebook to create their own process/program for exploring the place where they live. Our intention is to broadcast this possibility to new watersheds and landscapes by getting our guidebook into the hands of many more people who will use it to initiate their own process.
