Expand your child’s personal development with Earthworms Workshops & Retreats

Our workshops & retreats are creatively curated to embrace whole body development; mental and emotional clarity with optimal physical health. We introduce positive associations, beliefs, attitudes and concepts to help overcome fears, limitations, emotional constrictions and inhibitions. Kids have the freedom to explore, imagine, play and grow in community learning environments.

Our natural environment is the external world around us, as well as our internal habitat. Our goal is to motivate young people to nurture their minds, bodies and souls to bring out the best that they have within themselves. We target and build the character strengths that lead to healthy, happy, fulfilling futures.

We customize our workshops to your group’s age and interests. Most field days are 4 hour excursions and are best for groups of 5-15 children. Workshops & retreats include all staff, curriculum, planning, equipment, meals, plus memories for a lifetime. Let us know a little bit about your group and we can start creating your next adventure.

Prices vary depending on group size, destination, season & excursions. On average workshops are $50-$150 per person & retreats are typically between $150-$1000 per person.

What is Whole Body Development?

The conscious integration of body, mind and emotions revealing the keys to one’s own natural aptitude.

Emotional - Feelings and emotions can either provide you with an endless supply of energy or drain you of your vitality. Emotional talent is the capacity to stimulate and draw upon your natural fountain of energy. Developing emotional talent is learning how to blow in your own sails. Natural training cannot be approached by attention to the physical body alone; we must delve into and clarify the subtle realms which are really the foundation of our lives. The state of being centered, when the mind is quiet, the emotions open, and the body relaxed/energized, gives you, quite literally, a better connection to the experiences and people around you. 

 Physical - Optimal physical health requires practice. It is never too young to start developing daily habits of healthy movement and positive consumption, from what we read and watch to the food we put into our bodies. 

Mental - The key to unlocking unlimited potential. The centered - optimal health - flow of energy - mind can bridge the physical and emotional tapping into the flow of energy.

The three best insurance policies you can have in this life are mental clarity, emotional awareness and physical preparation. When we give attention to our whole body our human potential is limitless.

Life is a series of changes - sometimes smooth and orderly, sometimes unexpected and chaotic - from minute to minute, day to day, year to year. Growth from infancy to childhood, adolescence, and adulthood require many transitions into increasingly advanced modes of behavior, responsibility and understanding. Our workshops and retreats are creatively crafted to develop the mental, physical and emotional strengths to positively adapt to these transitions and flourish.

The very young child is still relatively free from the complex fears, angers, attachments, expectations, plans, self-imagery, and self criticism that is characteristic of the adult mind. Children’s gift for learning is undeniable. Their minds are concept free and therefore receptive. Now is the time to give our children the tools to become a master of change, so they do not become victims of it.
