Rediscovering the joy of working in community to confront the greatest challenge of our time
Real strategies you can use in your school that are designed by and for educators, based on Tom Roderick’s new book, Teach for Climate Justice: A Vision for Transforming Education
A reasonable fee of only $1450, not including airfare
The 7-Day retreat will run during various dates in 2025, with the first running from April 13-19, 2025. Retreat facilitators, Matthew Cook of Latin American Service Expeditions and Bribri elder, Bernarda Morales, will be joined by Tom Roderick for the April retreat. In order to promote deep conversations and maintain an intimate community, the April trip is limited to just 10 participants, with registration on a first come, first served basis.
For more information about the retreats and to register, please contact Matthew Cook at matt@serviceexpeditions.net.
The retreats are sponsored by Latin American Service Expeditions.
“This retreat is the experience of a lifetime! You get the authentic experience of living in the Bribri community and learning all about how they live and practice sustainability in their community. This is a must do experience for anyone interested in teaching and learning about climate justice.”
