Dear Springbank Supporter,

We are delighted to announce that our Spring 2024 programs are now open for registration.

David Suzuki, a canadian academic, science broadcaster and environmental activist said, “The way we see the world shapes the way we treat it. If a mountain is a deity, not a pile of ore…if a forest is a sacred grove, not timber: if other species are biological kin, not resources; or if the planet is our mother not an opportunity…then we will treat each other with greater respect. Thus is the challenge, to look at the world from a different perspective.”

Each program at Springbank offers you the possibility of reflecting on and engaging with a different perspective of the world, your relationship with Earth, other beings and yourself. You can choose from a variety of programs….a sabbatical experience, eco-spiritual retreats, art and nature experiences, music, dance, poetry and much more!
