Your EcoBlueprint Home Study

Thank you for joining us on the EcoBlueprint journey. We are so excited to present this material and look forward to some great transformations.

Overview

You are in for a real treat! Some basic information to get you oriented:

Each class is accompanied by a Learning Guide and Slides.  The slides are on Julie’s Slideshare page. They can be viewed full-screen, while you are listening. It’s helpful to have a hard-copy of the Learning Guide with you, for taking notes, especially during the experientials. If you prefer, you may also download PDF’s of the slides from the links below.

We also have a course groupsite . There, you will find a file cabinet with a recommended-reading list and several great articles, as well as a discussion forum. You are encouraged to check it out, join, and interact with other participants in the course.

Lastly, this learning is greatly enhanced with targeted one-on-one sessions with Julie. If you want to explore that as an add-on, please contact julie(at)goforchange.com.

Note: For all recordings, if you right-click, then select "save target as" or "save link as," you can specify where to save it on your computer. (For Mac’s, it’s CONTROL/hold mouse down. You have to hit the CONTROL button first.) All audio files, with the exception of the preview call, are MP3 format. The preview is WAV.
