Education

At Tenderfoot, we’ve seen time and again that learning to live more sustainably feels good – people talk about feeling empowered, healthier, and more connected to nature. We also know that learning to incorporate sustainable practices into your own life can be daunting. We’re here to help!

The offerings you’ll discover below will let you dip your toe in or dive deep. Our workshops are an hour or two long and focus on a specific area of life: kitchen, wardrobe, or workplace, for example. Other options are overnight and give you a broader toolkit for living more sustainably.
