The GCP Foundation Course
Reconnect with nature. Rediscover your role. Regenerate the future.
The GCP Foundation Course is the gateway to the Global Care Packs program—a 12-week immersive experience that bridges Indigenous wisdom, ecological science, and prosocial action. This is where your regenerative learning journey begins.
Designed for learners of all backgrounds, this course invites you to reconnect with the natural world, your community, and your own purpose through three integrated learning paths:
-
Knowledge (story and systems)
-
Skills (nature connection and tracking)
-
Experience (community and prosocial practice)
You’ll complete a 40-Day Nature Challenge, join a global learning team, and create three maps—physical, conceptual, and genius—that track your personal transformation. The course blends story, science, and sensory experience to help you re-enter right relationship with life.
