Regenerating Lineages of Deep Nature Connection for Future Generations
We exist to make deep nature connection a living part of human culture — worldwide.
We believe that reconnecting people to the natural world is one of the most essential acts of our time — for wellbeing, for ecological stewardship, and for the future of life on Earth.
We are forming a nonprofit dedicated to growing the global field of deep nature connection. We set standards, build the capacity of organizations doing this work, and strengthen the community of practitioners who carry it forward.
A world woven back into nature
We envision a world so rich with skilled, inspired nature connection mentors that their presence becomes unremarkable — as natural as a teacher in a classroom or a healer in a clinic.
In that world, the pathway to becoming a nature connection facilitator is respected, well-compensated, and widely accessible. Deep nature connection is not a niche pursuit — it is a mainstream foundation of healthy communities and a flourishing planet.
"The purpose of RCS is to provide education and support that foster connection to nature, promote cultural and ecological stewardship, enhance community well-being, and encourage the regeneration of healthy relationships between people and the natural world."

The Regenerating Connection Society serves as an independent hub for the nature connection field — recognizing quality programs, supporting organizations around the world, and telling the stories that draw people into this movement who don't yet know what they're missing.
Standards & endorsement
A field-wide framework so that quality nature connection education can be recognized, supported, and grown anywhere in the world.
Capacity building
Intensive support for the staff and leaders of nature connection organizations — to deepen their work and sustain it over time.

The Regenerating Connection Collective
The Regenerating Connection Collective is a two year-long, intensive leadership program for nature connection organizations around the globe. Thirty-two organizations are currently part of an active learning community — working together through monthly group sessions, individual consulting, peer working groups, and a shared collaboration platform.
The program is designed to be regenerative from the inside out: joyful, well-supported, and financially viable — so that it attracts and sustains the people who carry this work. How do we do this?
