To Reconnect With Nature, We Need More Organizations Like This One

Two years ago, I visited Indonesia to walk the inimitable bamboo hallways of the Green School, as part of a lifelong search for the best schools in the world.

Almost immediately after arriving, however, I met Tim Fijal — a transplanted Canadian and gentle spirit whose own journey of discovery had gradually taken him out of the classroom, and into the rice fields of Bali.

Since then, we produced a short film about Tim’s work with a mixture of Balinese adults and young people to use the natural world as an invitation back into the core of human identity (you can see it below) — and Tim has launched a new organization, The Astungkara Way, which provides a combination of courses and experiences to help people reconnect with nature.

And now, to make that dream a full-fledged reality, Tim needs your support.

I hope you’ll do so here. And please, help spread the word!
