Rediscover the joy of working in community to confront the greatest challenge of our time
Join fellow educators in the heart of Costa Rica’s rainforest to explore powerful ways to bring climate justice into your classroom. Experience the vibrant biodiversity of the Central American rainforest, learn from the Indigenous Bribri community of Yorkín, and leave with practical, educator-designed strategies inspired by Teach for Climate Justice: A Vision for Transforming Education.
The 7-Day retreat will run from July 19-26th, 2026 facilitated by Matthew Cook of Latin American Service Expeditions and Bribri elder, Bernarda Morales. In order to promote deep conversations and maintain an intimate community, the trip is limited to just 10 participants, with registration on a first come, first served basis.
Highlights include:
Connecting with the beauty and exuberant biological diversity of the Central American rainforest
Immersion in the Bribri community of Yorkín to experience an Indigenous perspective on our relationship with the natural world and how to resist the forces that are harming it
Rediscovering the joy of working in community to confront the greatest challenge of our time
