About Wild Rose Education
At Wild Rose Education we teach people 'how to see', to become better observers, and take action in the world through participant-centered learning experiences. We go beyond what has been and facilitate becoming what can be.
Our work is done collaboratively with larger institutions as well as independently through our own projects. Programming occurs in-person as well as virtually. Regional projects are common, yet national collaborations have become a staple product of Wild Rose Education.
Wild Rose Education is a lean and nimble, effective, sole proprietor, woman-owned, small business established in 2015.
