Earth-Based Institute offers coaching for individuals and families, wilderness guide training, and wilderness trips. The driving intention behind EBI's actions is to help clients become active participants in healing their relationships with themselves, others and the natural world through self-reflective and personal insight work. EBI was created as a venue for people to enhance their lives by working through the beliefs and patterns that get in the way of following dreams and living a life of passion and meaning.
EBI is located in Boulder, Colorado, USA. We serve families, couples, organizations, groups, and individuals. Our professional training programs, family-coaching services, and wilderness experiences are both educational and nature-based oriented.
EBI’s curriculum and schedule of programs is constantly evolving with the needs of our time. We gather this information from student and client feedback, staff inspirations, and the current pulse seen in our patterns as a human race.
We offer 3 different core principals in all our programs and services. These principals guide our coaching structure, lesson plans and curriculum.
- Awareness: Awareness means the expansion of the understanding of our patterns, potential and passions, as well as awareness of the world around us and our connection to it.
- Alignment: Alignment means to be attuned to our most authentic self and intentions for ourselves, others and the world around us.
- Direction: Direction means confident actions through clear intention and supportive guidance.
