❖ An Earth Stewardship Program for Adults 2025 ❖Are you ready to embark on a journey of self-discovery, empowerment, and deep connection with the natural world? Welcome to Touchstones, an extraordinary Earth Stewardship Program designed to rekindle your inner nature and forge meaningful relationships with the world around you.
❖ Why Have a Vision?
An old African saying tells us, “Where there is no Vision, the people perish.” At Touchstones, we believe that having a Vision is essential for personal and collective growth. We inspire ourselves and each other to seek new beginnings, breathe together into our shared spirit, and illuminate the parts of us that have longed to be seen and healed.
❖ What We Offer

꩜ Develop Native Skills – Gain practical skills for survival and flourishing in natural environments.
꩜ Uncover Inner Strengths – Boost your confidence, self-esteem, and find your gifts through individual and group experiences.
