Kirstin Anglea

Kirstin is first and foremost, a seeker, a wonderer…on a continuous journey of being and becoming. Her greatest joy is capturing small moments of beauty in one-on-one conversations, the powerful rhythm of a good tune, paradox found in nature, and experimenting in the kitchen with family and friends. Other identities include mother, partner, and educator. As an urban educator, she worked in Milwaukee, WI as a middle school teacher and administrator, a faculty member at the university level, and at Urban Ecology Center with an amazing team of environmental educators. She’s a trained coach and mentor thru Cardinal Stritch University and the New Teacher Center. She was first touched by the work of the Center for Courage & Renewal in 2003. Transformed by this work, she was inspired to pursue her doctorate focused on Reflective Practice as a form of professional development. Kirstin has been a facilitator with the Center for Courage & Renewal since 2013. She leads Circle of Trust retreats in a variety of formats for all those yearning to live a life aligned with their authentic self. Retreats include: Soul of Aging, Elder Wisdom, Living in Alignment (w/yoga), Courage to Teach/Being Brave-Hearted retreats. In 2022, Kirstin began working with the Center as the Mentor Program Coordinator. She also works part-time as the district administrator of a sweet little school in the woods near her home in Sisters, OR. When not working, you’ll find her kayaking, wandering in the wilderness, or enjoying good food and a nice glass of wine with her wife and friends.
