Today we have an Outdoor Classrooms Tour and Talk with Robyn Broudie from Roots to Rise. Roots 2 Rise Outdoors offers year-round nature-based exploratory programs for children ages 2 to 10 throughout Toronto, Canada and surrounding areas. Offering an alternative approach to education, they believe that by facilitating opportunities for children to deepen their connection to natural world, they are meeting a need that is vital to the healthy development of the whole child and dependent on the future of our environment.
This episode includes a visual tour which is included in the CIRCLE Membership.
MEET ROBYN:
Robyn Broudie has spent over a decade exploring some of the wild corners of the earth. From sleeping under starry desert skies, diving deep into the ocean, and wandering through lush rainforests, she has continued to foster her insatiable curiosity for this incredible planet. Robyn has a degree in Child Development, and has been a leader in the creation of a variety of programs that bring people closer to each other and the natural world. Her heart for humanity and her passion for the earth led her to explore the field of wilderness-based therapy. After years of guiding international trips, backcountry expeditions, and facilitating adventure therapy programs for youth and young adults challenged with mental health and addictions, she has seen firsthand how nature can be fundamental in healing.
Robyn has facilitated outdoor programs for children with unique needs, including Autism, ADD, ADHD, OCD, PTSD, trauma and addictions, recognizing that the foundational need for love and connection are the same for everyone. By deepening their understanding of how children learn best, Robyn and her team create a space where they can meet kids where they are at, valuing and seeing their innate nature and brilliance, and providing space and time for them to expand their unique magic.
Roots 2 Rise Outdoors was born in the middle of a global pandemic, a time where we became even more isolated from each other and the natural world. It was evident, in a world that was driving separation; connection was what we needed more than ever.
