Learning with the Land: A Nature Playbook — Our Book Launch Journey!
Sunday, 12 April, 2026

In this special episode, I sit down with my good friend and colleague April Pikkarainen to share the story behind our first collaborative book, Learning with the Land: A Nature Playbook.We reflect on our early days working together, the experiences that shaped our thinking, and the inspiration that led us to bring this book to life. Together, we unpack the Spiral of Inquiry and how it weaves meaningfully with four core nature routines to support authentic, land-connected learning.We also honour the incredible people who supported this journey—Judy Halbert and Linda Kaser for their foundational work and guidance, Leona Prince for writing the preface, and Heidi Wood for walking alongside us throughout the process.This conversation is both a behind-the-scenes look at our writing journey and an invitation into the heart of the book itself.✨ Join us for our virtual book launch on April 28th at 4pm PST. You can also pre-order the book here! ✨ We’ll also share details to register for the NOIIE Symposium on May 8. Register here!We’re so excited to celebrate this work with you and continue learning with the land—together.
