BECOME AN ECO-MENTOR APPRENTICE
Awaken Your Eco-Intelligence, Step into a Deeper Relationship with Nature & Yourself
“Dear friend, do you sense what weighs on your heart? Are you navigating physical challenges, or feeling mentally, emotionally, or spiritually out of balance? Do you ever feel tired of surface living, overwhelmed by the news, or called to create a new earth? Do you long for more time in nature, for holistic care that truly nourishes, or for an inspired path of women’s self-empowerment? Your heart is more than an organ—it is a compass. Let me show you how to use it for guidance on the Eco-Mentor Apprentice journey!” –Candia Lea
Course Description:
This is an invitation, dear one—to slow down, listen inward, and follow the quiet wisdom that has been calling you home. Guided by my intimate healing journey—from illness and disconnection to embodied eco-intelligence—you’ll explore a way of living that honors the body, the earth, and the sacred feminine within you. This course is not about pushing yourself to become someone new—it’s about remembering. Remembering your rhythm. Your intuition. Your place in the living world. As an Eco-Mentor Apprentice, your healing becomes your initiation, and your way of life becomes a quiet, powerful offering to the earth.
For Whom:
I created this course primarily for women (ages 16-55) who have the desire to release their attachment to the status quo, live more intentionally and authentically, and adopt an eco-conscious lifestyle practice that supports them in nourishing wellness in their bodies and the earth.
Learning Objectives:
Through reflective practices, you’ll address the limitations of our educational systems which do little to foster our innate eco-intelligence, and you’ll reimagine education through a holistic lens. Through evocative storytelling, you’ll weave soul into practical solutions for eco-conscious living and redefine leadership not only as a role, but as a soulful way being.
Learning Tools:
This course features my Eco-Mentor Guidebook, “Nourish Your Eco-Intelligence-Become the Eco-Mentor You Were Born to Be!” (in audio and PDF formats) plus 10 reflective learner assessments. It also features my memoir, “Born to Live Green-Awakening My Heart’s Wisdom to the Path of Eco-Intelligent Living, Learning Healing, & Mentoring (in audio and PDF formats).
About My Eco-Mentor Guidebook
In my Eco-Mentor Guidebook, I address the collision course that we find ourselves on with the natural world, and the human activities that (because of our disconnection from nature) have inflicted harsh damage on the environment and our bodies. I speak about the harmful effects of consumerism on our physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being, and the necessity of returning to a simpler way of life, one that is rooted in nature’s wisdom and that invites us to understand the importance of honoring and celebrating our sacred birthright; our right to thrive.
About My Memoir
In my Memoir, In this book, I invite you to follow in my footsteps as an apprentice, on the path to eco-intelligent living that I unearthed as a young woman while searching for answers about how to manage and heal the symptoms of a “mystery illness.” This illness, recognized today as “environmental illness”, led me to explore the world of alternative medicine, awaken my innate eco-intelligence, adopt an eco-conscious lifestyle, heal my spiritual disconnection from myself and the earth, and eventually, ‘birth’ my role as an Eco-Mentor.

Here’s How I “Dish-Up” the Apprentice Portion of My ‘Educational Meal
Planning the Ed. Meal
Explore what eco-intelligence is and why it’s important to reawaken yours. Discover the reasons why every home and community need an Eco-Mentor. Identify the desires, qualities, and aspirations that Eco-Mentors possess and decide if you have them or wish to develop them.
Choosing the Ingredients
Learn what environmental illness is, what triggers it, and why no person or living thing is immune from it! Discover how my self-healing journey led me to unearth the six “ingredients” of eco-intelligent living, and how my work as a natural food caterer supported me in creating a “recipe” (a new educational paradigm) from them.
Setting the Table
Gain awareness about why schools aren’t nourishing the eco-intelligence of today’s youth. Discover why it’s important to foster home-based learning rituals that model “principle-based” education. Get in touch with the drawbacks of wireless tech in the classroom and learn why educational software isn’t making our youth smarter.
Refreshments
Engage with my memoir and consider the value of reclaiming “rites of passage” in your life, to mark your growth and transformation. Be inspired to simplify your life, nourish yourself deeply, and draw on spiritual inspiration for living whole, while also becoming more rooted in the world. “Feel into” the sacred feminine leadership qualities you might draw on in this current season of your life.
Learning Outcome:
By the end of the course, you’ll see how your personal healing journey can serve as a
powerful catalyst for planetary healing. You will receive a beautiful graduation certificate, and you’ll also have the opportunity to continue your learning journey by participating in my companion course, The Eco-Mentor Activist Training, which features the Appetizers and Main Dishes portion of my educational meal.)
From Apprentice to Activist
The Eco-Mentor Activist Course is the next natural step: embodiment and expression. Having reawakened your inner compass, you are now invited to live what you’ve learned in visible, grounded ways. This bridge marks the shift from inward remembering to outward stewardship—where your lifestyle choices, relationships, and daily practices become acts of conscious mentorship. The Activist path is not about protest or perfection; it is about integration, responsibility, and service. It asks: How will I live now that I know? As an Eco-Mentor Activist, your healing ripples outward—into your home, your community, and the living systems that sustain us all.
Bonus Modules:
Are you dealing with the symptoms of environmental illness, as many people and living things are? Part of becoming an Eco-Mentor Apprentice is about healing and “filling your cup” so you have the energy to inspire others with your passion for eco-intelligent living. My two special bonuses offer to help you do this. Bonus #1: I share 10 videos with you that highlight the health tools and healing protocols that I’ve been using to up-level my energy and health. Bonus #2: I share 35 colorful, text-rich infographics (aka Tabletop TUTORS) with you that highlight the triggers for environmental illness and offer self-care tips that serve to mitigate its symptoms.
