Holden Village is a place that nurtures growth & learning. Teaching faculty sessions are a unique opportunity for life-long learning in community. Teaching faculty come from many backgrounds, disciplines, and walks of life. Sessions range from lectures, interactive lessons, and movement classes to workshops, discussions, and art classes. Each presenter or pair of presenters offers four classes, Monday to Thursday, during their scheduled week. Classes typically last between an hour to an hour and a half. These sessions can be either a continuous arc or cover several topics. Either way, you are welcome to attend as few or as many sessions as you like during your stay; you are not required to register for teaching faculty sessions ahead of time
Beyond teaching faculty sessions, there are lots of opportunities for learning at Holden Village through naturalist programs, art classes, pottery classes, Sacred Spaces, and more! Learn more about Holden’s many offerings here.
The summer 2025 teaching faculty will be announced early January! Come back then to see the full list of teachers and topics.
