“Sometimes you hit the bramble patches of life and, if you’re listening for where your drum beat is -your North Star- you can just keep moving towards it one little step at a time.”

This week, Jon and Sarah are joined by mentor and author Victoria Mew, the founder of Red Squirrel Resources, and a longtime student and mentor in nature connection. Victoria shares about her nature connection journey as a student, how that evolved into becoming an instructor, and later led to writing books and founding organizations to expand access to nature in the UK. She shares about her inspiration for Red Squirrel Resources where she has created over 200 video resources for parents and teachers that are teaching nature connection. She also shares about the positive impact the Art of Mentoring and the Nature Culture Network has had on her over the years and her excitement for the reimagined Nature Culture Connection Camp coming up in August in the UK. We hope you enjoy this inspiring conversation!
