Week-long courses are hosted at the “Tree of Life” Training Center in Tlancualpican, Mexico. Workshops are offered on realistic low-cost and low-tech methods for improving daily life. These methods focus on using readily available resources, remaining economically attainable for rural residents, integrating ancient and modern technologies and preserving the environment. The objective is for those trained to serve their communities as resource persons, sharing their new skills and knowledge with their families and neighbors.

We invite you, your organization, church, district and/or conference to sponsor a scholarship for one or more persons for a one-week training course. Each one-week unit costs $300 per person.
