Legacy of Connection Mentoring
Summer Storytelling Series with Jon Young
July 27th through August 17th 2024
Jon Young had the great fortune of experiencing deep mentoring as a child, from multiple sources, and in connection with Nature. As a young adult he recognized he had received something others had not, something that had served him in a profound way.
Upon this realization, Jon set out to understand what it was he had received, and has dedicated much of his last 40 years in grass roots research and application of principles of Connection Mentoring.
In this Storytelling Series, Jon will be sharing personal, many never before told, stories that illustrate the power of deep mentoring in the context of connection with nature.
With Jon's masterful storytelling skills, this series will bring alive the mind of mentor through revealing experiences that encompass both foundational concepts and subtle nuances of mentoring.

FAQ
-
What if I can't make the live sessions?
No worries! All sessions will be recorded and made available on the course site to all who register.
-
Why isn't there a description for each session?
Jon is holding regular conversations regarding the subject of this series that will be organically informing his choice of stories as we move through... so we won't know exactly which stories will be told until a day or so before each session. We invite you to be in the flow of the moment with us!
