Why Go to Earth School?

It’s worth coming to Earth School for the setting alone! 

Come into connection with the World of Nature …

Come into connection with the World of Nature …

The Mid-Hudson Valley has so much to offer --

 with its dramatic seasons, bountiful farmland, hiking, and mountain and river views. Many small Hudson Valley towns are influenced equally strongly by artists, creatives, and spiritual seekers as they are by the beautiful surrounding landscape. There is so much abundance here to be shared!

At the very center of the Mid-Hudson Valley, at the center of Dutchess County, at the confluence of the two Wappingers Creeks, is Mawenawasigh, home of Sycamore Healing Arts, home of Earth School. A magical place, within a magical place, within a magical place. 

Earth School weaves healing practices such as meditation, yoga and communication exercises with a study of the world of nature. Just as yoga teaches strength, focus and flexibility on the mat to help us develop and use these skills in our daily lives, Earth School uses nature as a powerful lens through which we can view common threads in all the patterns and systems we participate in. As we connect together in  the garden to sow and nurture the food that will nourish our bodies, we also sow and nurture seeds of growth within ourselves. 

We all have healing to do. This curriculum puts all the pieces together and allows us to view and heal the whole system. It will benefit anyone with a desire to improve themselves, their relationships, and the larger world. 

We are nourished by the Land …
