“Only when our clever brain and our human heart work together in harmony can we achieve our true potential” ~Jane Goodall
Teaching surely requires diligence, commitment, and a very clever brain. But the magic of good teaching comes from the heart of the teacher. How do we nourish and strengthen our teacher’s heart? How can we create harmony between heart and brain in our career and in our personal lives?

Join our Courage to Teach Circle of Trust retreat for a weekend of reflection, renewal and rejuvenation. Together we will seek to understand, honor, and celebrate our own hearts, so that we may realize our potential to touch the hearts, inspire the brains, and nourish the souls of our students and our loved ones. Everyone is welcome, regardless of previous Circle of Trust experience.
Through a variety of heart-inspiring essays, poetry, art, nature, photography, and music, you will be invited to engage in honest self-reflection and to increase your capacity to listen to yourself and to others more deeply. There will be time in solitude and in community; time to speak from your heart and to listen as others speak from theirs. Return home with renewed energy and vitality in your teaching heart.
In a time when stress and pressure on teachers and administrators continue to rise because of internal and external demands, Courage to Teach® provides educators with an opportunity for rest, renewal and re-engagement with their identity and integrity as teachers. The program, originally conceived by esteemed educator Parker J. Palmer, offers educators an opportunity to reflect on the inner dimensions of teaching and leading.
