"Come forth into the light of things, let nature be your teacher."
- William Wordsworth

Return to Freedom is a learning environment where visitors learn directly from the natural world within "Nature's Classroom". The various tours, clinics, and experiential educational programs offered at the sanctuary are designed to deepen our awareness and connection to the living earth.

Today, mankind is facing its greatest challenge. Our natural resources, wildlife and habitats are threatened by our increased urbanization and overuse of limited resources. By allowing a relationship with the natural world, we can awaken our passion and appreciation for the environment and the other creatures we share this planet with. It is our intention that this will inspire the shift that brings us back into harmony and balance with the world around us.

These programs include:

• Sanctuary Tours
• Clinics
• Youth Programs
• Work Study
• Private Retreats

Please check our calendar for ongoing programs. To find out how you can schedule special programs or retreats, please contact us at 805 737-9246 or via email programs@returntofreedom.org.
