Meet your Facilitator
Hi, I'm Travis Redtail!
For over 10 years, I've helped big cities and Fortune 500 companies go green across the globe. ​But the greenest world is the one where we meet our needs simply, and maximize our wellbeing and vitality. So I set off to live in the most vibrant, sustainable places on Earth. Living in eco-communities across the world, I've gathered methods to break out of our global rut - an increasingly isolated, consumer culture - that we all know is the root of our mental health, social, and environmental crises. I teach people, companies, and communities the art of reconnection - facilitating profound experiences that lead us to sustainable action.
Change-making Revolutionized
Learn from Live Examples of Sharing Economy & EcoCommunities
If you are a sustainability professional or stay at home eco-warrior, this course is for you. Enter with an open mind, reap the rewards of hope, inspiration, and practical tips to transform our destructive behavior patterns into harmonious ones.
​
Learn What's Been Blocking Us from Working Together
We're told to share from a young age. Do you see much of that in your life?​ The English Language is not set up for sharing. Learn how to retool your words to unlock a new paradigm of compassion, connection, and practical collaboration.
​

Learn meditation and self observation with tools transmitted directly to Travis from an ancient yoga lineage and FEEL where the root of human happiness lies. Let that be the place, a place of pure love and light, be the source of the revolutionary change.
