*NEW*: Foundations of Holistic Management Course
HM Educator Jen Ringbauer will support students through the Savory Institute’s
Foundations of Holistic Management Course — a five-module, self-paced
online course, introducing Holistic Management, ecosystem processes, tools,
decision making, and monitoring decisions.
The course covers the components and principles of Holistic context
and decision making, Holistic Planned Grazing (HPG), Holistic Financial
Planning (HFP), and Holistic Land Planning (HLP), allowing you to understand
what is involved and why the planning processes can benefit your business
and life.
Course dates:
- Wed 23 July: Intro/Welcome
- Wed 30 July: Module 1
- Wed 13 August: Module 2
- Wed 27 August: Module 3
- Wed 10 September: Module 4
- Wed 17 September: Module 5 and wrap-up
You will receive access to the online self-paced course after the first
webinar, and must cover the material yourself, then attend a 2-hour webinar
fortnightly to go through each module, providing the opportunity to discuss the
content, deepen understanding, and ask questions.
You are encouraged to bring a partner or team member, as having
someone to discuss the material with will develop understanding and help in
future steps with your business.
