Nathaniel Nordin-Tuininga - Education Program Director
Nathaniel Nordin-Tuininga is a long-time environmental educator. He spent much of his childhood learning directly from 1200 acres of meadows and forests and from the elders who helped him cultivate a deep reverence for the more-than-human world. His life has been an ongoing exploration of alternative educational models, including indigenous practices still used in many “developing” nations, which rely heavily on the interaction between children and the natural world. He holds an undergraduate degree in Environmental Studies from the University of Oregon, two degrees in Early Childhood and Grades Education from Waldorf Teacher Education Eugene, and an Ecovillage and Permaculture Certification from Lost Valley Educational Center. He is also certified as a Somatic Movement Educator. Nathaniel brings patience, joy, and an intimate appreciation for the ecological interdependence of life.
