A Note About Accessibility: The Atlan Center is located in White Salmon, WA approximately 70 miles east of Portland, OR. Since there are only eight parking spaces at Atlan Center, carpooling is essential. From the Atlan parking lot, it is a seven minute walk to the yurt that we will be using in Feb., March, Nov., and Dec.
It is about a 20 minute walk on uneven and sometimes steep terrain to the Cedar Grove that we will be using the rest of the year.
Participants should be comfortable with light hiking and being outside during varying weather conditions.

The Mentorship Program is structured to meet a diverse set of learning styles with an emphasis on experiential learning.

All Saturday Sessions are required and in-person. The other sessions can take place in-person or over Zoom for out-of-town participants.

This program is approximately 100 hours of content and connection.
