Do you have the yearning to become more health conscious? Are you feeling anxious about the state of the earth’s ecological well-being? Do you feel confused about what steps to take next in life, in today’s eco-challenged times, -to feel happy and whole? Are you tired of being part of a culture where people have been conditioned to worship the status quo and ‘affluenza’ is the everyday consumer’s epidemic? Have your school experiences failed to meet your authentic needs as a whole person? Do you feel the need to relate with a person who can understand and appreciate your changing world views? Do you want to be part of an intentional community of people that is committed to creating an educational culture that is responsive to change? Do you seek creative ways, to find and know your purpose and your life calling?

You are provided in this training, with two Discovery & Empowerment tools, including my Memoir and my Mentor Guide Book/Curriculum—both of which support you in paving a bold, new life path in life that supports you in embracing your needs as a whole human being and connects you with the needs of your self and the living earth.

My Mentor Guide Book: Bring Back the Earth! introduces you to "Planning the Meal" which helps you to answer the question: "what is an eco-intelligent worldview and how does it support me in being a sustainable leader?" "Choosing the Ingredients" introduces the six principle 'ingredients' of eco-intelligent living, including an awareness of how and why I chose these ingredients to prepare my eco-lifestyle curriculum. "Setting the Table" addresses the necessity of creating an educational culture that is responsive to change.  “Refreshments” explores how you ‘wake up’ to your potential for health and wholeness when you acknowledge the fact that humans and the earth are an interdependent system of life that you help regulate, together with the whole community of life, through your beliefs, thoughts, actions, and behaviors. “Appetizers” deals with becoming conscious of how your everyday lifestyle, food, and health choices can hurt your ecological well-being, allowing you to consider the alternatives that might heal you. “Intro to Main Dishes” offers preparation for the Eco-Mentor Activist part of the training, encouraging you to think deeply about “what you were born to do" on earth in today’s eco-challenged times.

My memoir: Born to Live Green is sandwiched within the "Refreshments" and "Appetizers" portion of the educational meal. In Part One of my memoir, I share my coming of age journey as a young adult affected by environmental illness who was destined to become a self-healer and awaken to my innate eco-intelligence. In Part Two of my memoir, I share my journey as an adult who has achieved success as a whole foods cookbook author and nutritional consultant, but who is destined to find my purpose as a sustainable leader. This purpose involves giving birth to my identity as an Eco-Mentor and cultivating the six-'seed-ideas' for eco-intelligent living that the Back the Earth! Eco-Learning Legacy was meant to grow out of. In Part Three of my memoir, I summarize my "pain to purpose journey" and invite you to consider how your own life journey offers to support you in becoming an Eco-Mentor for our times!

Are you ready to create a bold, new, empowering lifestyle that integrates your personal and planetary needs and gives you the knowledge, wisdom, and life skills to create and practice an eco-intelligent way of life? Level Two Eco-Mentor Activist Training is offered to you, as the middle portions of my ‘educational meal’. You are provided in this training with 7 primary Discovery & Empowerment Learning tools, namely my e-Mentor Guide Book and my six e-Learner Workbook/Journals.

My Mentor Guide Book: Bring Back the Earth! introduces (with brief written summaries) the content found within the “Main Dishes” portion of my educational meal. These summaries offer to whet your appetite for learning about the topics that will feed your eco-intelligence and energize you for my six-step journey to eco-inteligent living. These topics are delivered to you as Discovery & Empowerment Dialogues (in the form of audio and text files) that foster an awareness of what is needed in your life to live 1) eco-conscious, 2) eco-logical, 3) eco-sustainable, 4) eco-balanced, 5) eco-nutritional, and 6) eco-spiritual. With these dialogues, you will explore the beliefs, assumptions, and lifestyle practices that do not contribute to personal and planetary well-being, and educate yourself about beliefs and practices that support both your own physical, mental and spiritual health as well as the health and well-being of your loved ones, including ecosystems, animals, plants and the systems of our beautiful earth upon which all living things depend.

My Learner Workbook/Journal Series: Discovery & Empowerment on the Path to Eco-Living introduces the “Side Dishes” portion of my educational meal. Each workbook highlights one of the six principle ingredients of eco-intelligent living and provides wrtitten activities called Discovery Missions as well as Self-Empowerment Activities that help you identify your unique interests and passions on your journey to becoming an Eco-Mentor Activist. These written activities are designed to be consumed along with the audio and text files mentioned above. This educational meal would not be complete without “desserts.” But, first, view a sample of what learning you’ll you sink your teeth into, on this amazing six-step journey.

Educational Benefits to you, on the Path to Becoming an Eco-Mentor Activist:

• Explore what it means for each of us to enter into a sustainable relationship with ourselves, others, and all life as we walk the path of eco-intelligent living.
• Learn what is causing such great harm to your “personal ecology”—your physical, emotional and spiritual health—as well as to the “planetary ecology”—the health and balance of the entire earth with all its creatures, and the topsoil, rivers and atmosphere all living things rely on.
• Understand the harm caused by toxic chemicals used in agriculture, and the harm done to farm animals raised in factory conditions. Explore a healthy and humane system of farming that detoxifies and regenerates the living ecology of your body and the earth.
• Identify personal care and other industrial products that contain harmful ingredients and produce waste in your body and the environment. Replace those harmful products and toxic ways of living with products and lifestyle habits that support your ecological well-being.
• Identify a so-called health care system that stresses prescription drugs and surgery over healthy nutrition and disease prevention, and treats us like machines with interchangeable parts, ignoring our connection to our whole selves and the rest of the natural world.
• Encounter hope and empowerment to heal yourself and the earth—by changing how you eat, caring for your health naturally, and cultivating a true friendship with yourself and the earth.
• Discover how your relationship to yourself—your own body, mind, emotions and spirit—is just as important as your relationship to other people, the earth, and ALL living things. Discover a joyful new way to be you, as you learn to live in balance with nature’s laws.
• Feel your innate connection with nature and find new ways to express your caring for other people and for the earth—ways that draw upon the love, beauty and health that we were all meant to feel for ourselves, others, and all of life.
• Discover why relationships are the key to our ecological health and well-being. Connect with your impulse to thrive, versus merely survive.
• Become part of a movement that connects our planetary healing to our personal healing. If the idea of being part of such a movement uplifts you and inspires you, this learning journey is a true adventure into the heart’s core of personal and planetary healing.
