Start SINGing: Spirituality in Nature Group Leaders’ Training

Forming your own Spirituality in Nature Group (SING) is a wonderful way to connect with community, open up to spiritual deepening, and reawaken our wonder, connection, and renewed commitment to actively loving the Earth. As we hike through the forest, walk on the beach, or stroll beside a stream, the world around us echoes with sacred resonance. We know that time in nature can offer some of our most moving and meaningful spiritual experiences. SING communities invite us to engage its call.

The SING Leaders’ Training will be led by Payton Hoegh, Program Director of The Center for Spirituality in Nature, founder and long-time guide of the All Wanderers SING community in Los Angeles, CA. It will offer a detailed, structured and accessible look at how you can launch your own Spirituality In Nature Group (SING).

Working with the Start SINGing Workbook, this webinar will:

• Cover the logistics of setting up a SING
• Discuss curriculum and itinerary
• Explore community-building techniques for cultivating rich, diverse SING groups
• Answer frequently asked questions
• Share experiences from SING leaders
• Offer the opportunity to sample spiritual practices that you can engage with your group

Following the webinar, you’ll be invited into continued relationship with the wider network of SING communities. You’ll also receive access to additional community-building opportunities, training and resources, organized and curated by our Spiritual Communities program.
