Cultivating Peace and Sustainability from the Inside Out

Creative Green Sustainability Coaching combines sustainable living tools/skills with the practice of compassionate awareness to empower people in creating a sustainable world “from the inside out.” Through workshops and consultations, Creative Green teaches the principles of sustainable living and guides people through the process of HOW to embody these principles in your home, business, and lifestyle. This work promotes balance and well-being in your personal life and planetary well-being.

Workshops

Creative Green Workshops empower you on the road to sustainable living, by giving you the practical tools/skills for sustainability and self-reliance, and by offering a process for personal transformation, to help you cultivate more peace, presence, joy, clarity, and well-being in your own life and in relation to the larger issues that we all face at this time.

Private consultations

Consultations help people to green their home, business, or lifestyle. At a time when there is a lot of information (and misinformation) on “living green” to navigate, Deborah Tull, a seasoned sustainable living coach, will help you to make wise and economic choices to successfully meet your green goals, so that your choices reflect your concern and care for the world.

Schools Program

Creative Green Schools Program brings sustainability lectures, hands-on workshops, and green living products to schools ready to take the next steps in going green. Working in partnership with All Shades of Green, this program serves to educate parents, students, teachers, and school administrators about the A to Z of sustainable living, and provides schools and families with the information and products needed to make the shift to a sustainable lifestyle. Rather than having to drive around town and do independent research on going green, we believe a school is the perfect place to hold space for the community to learn together. Let us bring All Shades of Green to you!
