Testimonials

“I’ve spent some time on your website and was blown away by all that Next Step Adventure offers!”

Sarah Green, Vice President, Philanthropy & Church Relations, LSI

Yoga and Writing Drake J-term

“As an education student, I would you all to know that you taught together very well. I took a class where that was most of what we learned about, and it's so had to pull off. You all were wonderful!”

Drake J-term participant

Yoga and Writing Drake J-Term

“I felt relaxed, welcomed, and accepted in the space you created this morning. I learned so much more about the mind and body connections and how yoga facilitates and advances our understanding of ourselves.”

Drake J-term participant

Poverty Simulation

“Oh man, I'm an actor at heart. So being in those scenarios was really cool. Playing a 17 yo former druggie who was trying his best to stay straight was a hoot. But more than anything, the reality of what life is like for many of my fellow citizens really opened my eyes.”

West Des Moines Leadership Academy Poverty Simulation Participant

Jerah Sheets, Iowa Department of Natural Resources

“Thanks for a great conversation. You started the meeting with an observation of my noticeable happiness I receive from my passion for my work. Last evening as I sat on my deck watching the sunset and reflecting from the day, your statement was at the top of my list for appreciating the day. A few tears of being overwhelmed with joy may have also transpired.”

Jerah Sheets, Iowa DNR

Mary Beth Einhorn, Central Iowa Yoga Retreat Participant

“Thank you thank you! I'm just beginning to find my tribe here and this was a boon.”

Mary Beth Einhorn, Central Iowa Yoga Retreat participant

Lisa Evans, Central Iowa Yoga Retreat Participant

“The Mindful Movement and Mingling was just so inspired! I've never been to a retreat that did that type of program. The usual sitting around, alone, and slowly meeting one or two people can be pretty isolating. You guys brought us to that place of connectedness in a fun way.”

Lisa Evans, Central Iowa Yoga Retreat participant

Kenny Baker, Gilbert High School

“Thank you again for coming on Friday. It was an incredible hands-on learning experience for the students. Once the simulation was finished students reflected on their experience and newly gained insights into life near the poverty line.”

Kenny Baker, 11th grader, Gilbert High School

Carrie Scheidel, Iowa Department of Education

“Next Step was an excellent addition to our Super Power Summit for middle school students. They incorporated hands-on learning activities that involved dirt, art, leadership, and the great outdoors!”

Carrie Scheidel, Iowa Department of Education

Therese, Yoga student

“Thank you so very much for your love, care, and support on this journey. You truly are a great teacher and healer.”

Therese, Yoga student

Joy Linquist, Principal

“The STEM Camp at Harding this summer was awesome! Our students were actively engaged in activities, learning, and lots of fun! It was a great experience for students to connect with their school, community, and science!”

Joy Linquist, Principal

“Next Step has been a solid addition to our student leadership workshops. Their connection with students is thoughtful, purposeful and brings great energy.”

Chad Elsberry, IHSAA Assistant Director

“Poverty simulation was fantastic. Great job forcing us to deal with the everyday complications of living in poverty. It was impossible not to get frustrated. Participants came up with “creative” ways to solve problems or cut corners for a lasting impact on their family, job, or both. I was extremely impressed with the entire process.”

Wil Wiemann, 8th Grade Social Studies, Edward Stone Middle School, Burlington, Iowa

Teaching Outdoors

“I heard great things about the training and would like to find a time this fall for an early out training for our staff to visit the park as well as hear about the wonderful things offered.”

Brian Crook, Principal, Studebaker Elementary School, Des Moines, Iowa

Mindfulness & Movement

“It only takes a minute or two and can totally change the classroom atmosphere. One minute they can be going a million miles a minute coming in from lunch and recess, and after a quick breathing technique, they settle down, giggle a little, and then get to work.”

Mychele, Kindergarten Teacher
