EP109 - Asher Cloren - Life Rocks - Connecting Children to Nature

This week’s guest is Asher Cloran the director of The Life Rocks Foundation, an interactive earth science platform designed to help children lead healthier, happier and productive lives through becoming connected to nature. Asher is an expert in human health, development and education and provides quality information to parents and teachers to help improve parenting, teaching and childhood development.

Asher’s most powerful experiences as a child were all involving Nature. Experiencing the contrast between a public education devoid of Nature connection, and then a Steiner education rich in Nature connection – left him with strong impressions of what is most important for learning and life.

On this quest, he has studied holistic health, human development, kinesiology, education, business, media, and natural sciences.

If all that wasn’t enough Asher is also an Integrated Movement Specialist level 2 and Holistic Lifestyle Coach level 2 with the CHEK institute. And has recently published 2 books: Connecting Children to Nature: the Essential guide for parents and teachers & The Soil Big Book, an illustrated book on soil science.

However the more Asher learnt, the more he discovered the challenges and damages that modern life is having on current and future generations – and he became passionate about helping to overcome them.

After meeting geologist John Rowntree in 2016, he was invited to join the Life Rocks team. John, seeing his passion for earth science education, quickly made him CEO. Since then, The team and I have evolved Life Rocks into a non-for-profit foundation always working hard to bring joy, education and nature to children, parents and teachers through fun, scientific and interactive experiences, media, books, games and workshops.

Asher also records The Life Rocks Podcast where he interviews other passionate leaders in childhood education and development and provides a platform for those interested in helping future and current generations thrive.
