Who is it for?

For those who accompany or wish to accompany others in nature and are looking for new ways of being, observing, and guiding, this is a space for experimentation, inspiration, and growth.

This training is for curious people, nature lovers, parents, caregivers, educators, teachers, and health professionals seeking inspiration, confidence, and new perspectives to support both children and adults in nature—whether in public, private, or alternative education and health contexts.

Description

The Spring Immersion is a training experience focused on the abundant season of Spring.

We are delighted to welcome back Daisy Moreira, who invites us to rediscover this vibrant and versatile space through a fresh perspective.

The goal of this training is to help you build a strong and intimate relationship with nature, so you feel supported in developing your own way of guiding others outdoors and/or finding an endless source of inspiration in nature.

The training includes a variety of non-formal educational approaches and aims to nurture the whole person.

Through play, openness, and deep connection practices, participants will immerse themselves in the colorful pleasures of this renewing season, rediscovering their wild, creative, and playful nature.

Because it is through play that we truly learn!

About the facilitator

Daisy Moreira is trained in forest pedagogy, combining her two greatest passions: nature and learning.

She has experience guiding diverse groups, including:

  • public school classes
  • educators and teachers
  • nature conservation associations
  • independent and private education projects
  • people with learning difficulties
  • homeschooling projects

Her path also includes studies in Cultural History and English Literature.

She deepened her connection to the land through sustainable agriculture courses (Permaculture, Biodynamics, Hazelip) and trained in a survival school focused on ancestral skills.

Her work integrates these experiences into meaningful, sensory-based learning in nature.
