Global Learners

“Being in nature, living in community, playing soccer with the locals... everything about it is just very special. I didn’t want to leave.”

— Project-based stay participant, McGill University alumnus

Spreading the seeds of regeneration.

We offer educational experiences grounded in deep relationship with nature, where international students, researchers, educators and practitioners come together to exchange knowledge, strengthen ecological understanding, and explore solutions that support healthy ecosystems and resilient communities.

Through hands on learning, community participation, and daily engagement with the rhythms of the forest, participants discover how humans can live in respectful relationship with the ecosystems that sustain life. Our programs encourage curiosity, collaboration, and reflection while strengthening the skills and perspectives needed to respond to the converging crises we are facing globally.

Siendo Global invites a deeper understanding of the relationships that sustain life and the role each person can play in contributing to collective wellbeing.

We believe education can inspire people to participate more thoughtfully in the world around them. Our programs support participants in developing the confidence, relationships, and practical understanding needed to contribute to healthier ecosystems and stronger communities wherever they are.

Our participants come from all over the world

Behind her, there's a roof made of wooden slats and a display with posters and photos, some of which include images of planets, nature, and motivational messages.

Placements Postgraduate

Students from a variety of fields have the chance to apply the theoretical knowledge learned in their university courses, and gain practice by engaging in practical work and reflecting on it.

Placements can be for cohorts, small groups of students in the same course, or individuals.

Project-based Stays

Individuals on a path of transition into an ecological paradigm are welcome to join us in service to the land and the learning center. Past projects include making improvements to the plant nursery and the materials bank, starting the process of regeneration on a site, and facilitating climate change workshops in the community, among others.

These limited stays are assessed on a case by case basis.

Research Residencies

We invite researchers and PhD students to spend a season onsite and deepen your field of inquiry alongside us, our community, and the land. Come discover this mega biodiverse place and unique cultural context, contribute your insights and findings to our local knowledge, and share it with the world.

Internships Undergraduate

Interns have the opportunity to learn new skills and cultivate existing ones, while supporting our purpose and vision. They get onboarded into a regenerative culture at work, challenging conventional ways of working and inviting a more sustainable and joyful work experience.

Internships can be onsite, virtual, or hybrid.

University Courses

We partner with professors and participate in the academic learning journey of their students throughout an entire term. Projects with Siendo Naturaleza are embedded into the course, with an immersion component where the whole class comes onsite.

If you are a dean, a professor or a university administrator interested in partnering in different formats, please contact us.

Short Courses for all

Ranging from Ecological Architecture to Regenerative Agriculture, our site becomes a canvas to uncover and co-create as a means of learning and making a contribution to the place. Foundational subjects include Systems Thinking and Deep Ecology.

Short courses have a duration of one to three weeks.
