Screening #2 of “School’s Out: Lessons from a Forest Kindergarten”
We’re offering a second screening of this award-winning documentary about forest kindergarten in Switzerland. The film is surprisingly engaging, entertaining and informative, and addresses many questions and concerns that parents and educators may have about this “new” and alternative education model.
We will also be briefly discussing our new school, Asheville Forest School–a new nature-based school for ages 3 1/2 – 6 that is based on the Waldkindergarten (“forest kindergarten” in German) concept shown in the film. While mainstream American preschools are increasingly focused on academics, technology and staying indoors, we will be taking children out into the woods every day, whatever the weather, and encourage free play and interest-directed learning in the ultimate classroom, Mother Nature.
Film trailer here: http://
This informational event is free!
We’ll be in the Lenoir-Rhyne University boardroom on the second floor, in the same building as the Asheville Visitor Center.

Asheville Forest School screening of “School’s Out: Lessons from a Forest Kindergarten”
Asheville Forest School is a new nature-based school for ages 3 1/2 – 6 that is based on the Waldkindergarten (“forest kindergarten” in German) concept that has been so beneficial to European children. Mainstream American preschools are increasingly focused on academics, technology and staying indoors. In contrast, we take children out into the woods every day, whatever the weather, and encourage free play and interest-directed learning in the ultimate classroom, Mother Nature.
“School’s Out: Lessons from a Forest Kindergarten” is a powerful and award-winning 35-minute documentary following a Waldkindergarten in Switzerland. It addresses many questions and concerns that parents and educators may have about this “new” and alternative education model. We’ll be screening this film and discussing our new school!

She is an avid and longtime student of Zen and Buddhism, a decades-long yogi, and a much sought-after kirtaniya, or devotional chanting leader. Known across the state of Florida and the U.S. for the past 20 years as her children’s entertainment persona “Shana Banana,” Shana and her family (husband Dan, daughter Grace Ohana, and son Benny Albert) have settled down in Gainesville, Florida to run their meditation- and yoga-based Gainesville Retreat Center, which attracts many renowned teachers and practitioners.

Wintergreen Falls Hike @ DuPont State Forest
This 3 mile hike is an easily accessible, lesser known, and quieter DuPont Forest Trail. After hiking in 1.5 miles we will stop to enjoy the views at the waterfall, maybe splash our feet in the water, and enjoy a snack/lunch before returning on the same trail.
The trail has a gradual incline on the return trip, and due to the distance, please bring a back up carrier for little walkers under 3 years old.
