Gloria Gostnell

Courage & Renewal Facilitator
Speaks English

Gloria Gostnell, Ed.D, lives in Portland, Oregon. Her life as an educator and teacher of meditation has been shaped by her African American heritage and by the question: What else is possible? This was the question she asked as a beginning elementary school teacher and continued to ask during her 40 years as an educator in K-12 and Higher Education settings.  In working to co-create learning communities of care, respect, and challenge in traditional and non-traditional settings, she has found the same question equally compelling in all other areas of her life. Her continuing work as a Facilitator with the Center for Courage & Renewal gives her the privilege and opportunity to explore the question with others at different stages in their personal and professional lives. What else is possible?
