​Let's InDiGO

Activating young people's natural love of learning, power of healing, and capacity to shine through holistic learning adventures called InDiGO experiences.

InDiGO experiences come in different flavors based on the particular goals of each individual or group. Learn more about our work.

​An InDiGO experience is a holistic learning adventure that integrates
Nature, Academics, The Arts, and SELf Discovery.
Here is one example of a template we use in our Professional Development Workshops to empower educators with holistic learning frameworks. ​This is one format we use to design a customized InDiGO experience according to the particular goals of each group.
Picture
SEL is Social and Emotional Learning
​

Using this framework, we designed a 6th grade integrative "Math" lesson that teaches students about
​BPM, decimals, and percent of change, ​by integrating Dance, Music, The Scientific Method, Videography, and more!

What?

InDiGO experiences are guided SELf-discovery and development activities, projects, programs, and trips
​that develop a person's connection to the wonders of nature within and all around them.


Why?

Activate our natural love of learning, power of healing, and potential to lead and inspire.
​Act upon the evidence that getting outdoors improves our health, healing, concentration, and mood.[*][*]


How?

Our holistic learning adventures integrate Outdoor Learning, Academics, ​The Arts, and SELf Discovery.
Each InDiGO experience includes preparing, adventuring, processing and presenting.


Who? Where? When?

Youth, adults, educators, caregivers, schools, camps, community organizations, and outdoor centers.
Outdoors, indoors, and online. During and out-of-school-time including breaks and days off.


How much $?

​We are committed to assisting with transportation and providing free, low-cost, and sliding-scale programs
​as we collaborate to meet the needs, challenges, and goals of each participant and group.
An InDiGO experience includes the following four steps:

​#1: Prepare
 We design an integrative project together according to the goals of each group. We gather the essential resources and skills in a preparation workshop when we explore how the upcoming adventure is meaningful to participants' learning and planned projects.

#2: ​Adventure
 We journey into the wonders of nature (within and/or all around us) on our planned adventure.
Together, we creatively document the experience as a part of our ongoing integrative project.


#3: ​Process
We reflect and discuss. We discover questions, answers, natural connections and motivations to learn more. We creatively express our learning, healing and growth in a processing workshop and each participant creates a project of their choice.

#4: Present
We host an event in a hybrid online and in-person format when participants share their discoveries by presenting their creative projects. We then make projects and presentations available to the public so youth and educators can continue
​to shine and inspire others.
