Gender Wheel Learning Center & Trainings
Shifting to a Nature-Based Mindset
The Gender Wheel provides an ENTIRE APPROACH to gender and life that addresses, transforms, and heals binary thinking and gender oppression.
About our Trainings & Workshops:
- Through anecdotes and fun facts, LEARN about the persistent patterns of body, gender, and reproductive diversity across all realms of nature to cultivate a nature-based and holistic foundation.
- INVESTIGATE what has been culturally overlaid onto nature, erasing and limiting its diversity and how that shows up in how we use language and understand humanity.
- DIVE INTO playful examples of how to translate a nature-based and holistic foundation of gender to kids.
- From this new nature-based foundation, UNDERSTAND how to make effective change in how we think and how we use language using play and modeling.
- EXPLORE the larger implications and mental health benefits of being in closer connection to nature and lifting the pressure to conform to gender roles.
