Courage to Teach®: Online Offerings for Educators (Spring 2026)
We talk often about supporting the whole child—yet educators are rarely given the time or space to care for themselves, the whole teacher. These offerings offer a chance to step away from the rush of daily life, even while at home, and reconnect with the values, purpose, and presence that first drew you to this work.
You can choose to participate in one or all of these unique offerings; professional development for an educator’s heart and soul. You are invited to show up fully—no matter how tired, uncertain, or disconnected you may feel—and discover what can happen when a supportive community makes room for honesty, courage, and rest.
