Holistic Management 9-Day Intensive - Become an Accredited Professional

Holistic Management 9-Day Intensive at Studio Hill, Vermont

Join us for a transformative experience at the Holistic Management 9-Day Intensive in Shaftsbury, Vermont. This in-person event is designed to help you learn and practice the principles of Holistic Management, a regenerative approach to managing land, farms, businesses, and any other complex system.

Everywhere we look—ecologically, economically, politically, socially—it seems we’re looking at disaster. Under a barrage of bad news, it is easy to understand why humans around the globe are suffering from depression, anxiety, anti-humanistic sentiment, and a devastating lack of hope.

But it does not need to be so.

A new and hopeful movement is growing around the globe—one driven by people who refuse to resign themselves and future generations to a terrible fate. Instead, they work to create a new, abundant, and resilient future.

But, to change our trajectory, we must change how me make decisions.

Starting on July 21st, 2023, you'll spend nine days learning how to make decisions holistically. Through immersed in hands-on learning, group discussions, and pasture walks, you'll learn how to create a holistic goal, make decisions that align with your values, and manage enterprises in a way that creates health and abundance.

"Jesse's class and the things I learned in it inspired me very deeply. [Before I took the course], I read the description and thought 'this class is gonna change my life,' and it did. Since learning with Jesse, every time food systems, climate change, and many other big, important topics are brought up in conversation, classes, media, etc. I think about them in connection to regeneration and holistic mindset." - Isabella W.
