Our nature-based  writing class encourages students to explore the world around them to assist  in guiding their writing. The natural world provides inspiration for limitless writing topics and expression!

The class will be
  • We help students discover that, collectively, they can make a difference by taking a conscious and active role in protecting nature through fun and engaging lessons!
  • Our class is adaptable to different writing levels, and will include starting an outline, building out. sentences/paragraphs, and adding depth to our writing.
  • We will have interactive discussions to encourage and grow each other’s writing in a supportive setting.
  • Our class will explore seasonal changes, animals, plants, and overall nature awareness. 
  • Using critical thinking skills, thinking creatively to choose which environmental science issues they feel passionately about and to inspire them with lively discussions and information to support their investigations.

BEan In Nature mentors facilitate kids to love, care and connect to nature not by using a ‘teach at the child’ didactic model, instead we use the skillful art of questioning, creative guiding and mentoring, experiential child-led focus and facilitate learning by doing, where we share our contagious enthusiasm, our imagination, and our own love of nature.

Connecting to the Earth with Creative Writing and Science


We believe that connecting to nature with the guidance of a creative nature mentor, who skillfully facilitates nature awareness, ancestral skills and crafts, while out in nature’s classroom, allows children to develop a strong sense of self and a natural love of science. In this design children are naturally accessing their whole imaginations, incorporating their whole focus, all the while growing into amazing earth stewards.

Our small group setting encourages safe exploration for the child with the development of social skills, including leadership, conflict resolution and cooperation, all in a developmentally appropriate style.

​We’re following the State of California COVID-19 Mandate and holding all classes outside.
