EARTHBOUND EDUCATION
Earth-Centered School, Program, and Curriculum Design for a Changing World
Learning & Leadership that Supports Life.
For over 20 years, Sarita Pockell has partnered with schools, nonprofits, and mission-driven organizations to design transformative programs and curriculum rooted in regenerative solutions, human connection, deep ecology & whole-systems thinking. Great schools and learning programs are elegantly designed, not improvised. Training teachers and empowering leaders is the multiplier. This is how we heal the world.

Why this work now?
As AI and algorithms reshape how children learn and how adults work, schools and organizations are facing deeper challenges: attention fragmentation, rising anxiety, disconnection from place, and learning environments that are increasingly optimized for screens instead of life. Sarita and the Earthbound Education Collective help to design alternatives using the Earth's infinite wisdom as a guide.
We lead collaborative design processes to build programs and curriculum that reconnect learners to their communities & to the living world as a pathway to stronger learning, holistic well-being, healthy ecosystems and more grounded leadership.
