Winter is on the way – how will you celebrate the season? Join us for the third annual Winter Solstice Retreat that focuses on ways to explore nature in winter. This retreat brings together experts in the field of nature-based early learning to share ideas and practices with a variety of hands-on sessions to choose from. From winter birding and handcrafts to pine tea and yule logs, you’ll leave inspired and full of ways to welcome winter!

ANBE will provide a professional development certificate at the conclusion of the event. Please dress for the weather, as most of this training takes place outdoors, rain or shine. Coffee/tea with lite breakfast and lunch is included, but remember your canteen for drinks throughout the day. 

Note: We strive for zero waste during our events; please bring your canteen for drinks.
