This Courage to Teach® Circle of Trust® retreat offers a weekend of reflection, renewal and rejuvenation. Together we will draw inspiration from the Fall season in order to reflect, renew, re-inspire, and re-engage in our professional and personal lives. What What seeds would you like to sow this year? What do you want to let go?
You can expect time in solitude and in community; time to speak from your heart and to listen as others speak from theirs; seasonal, thought-provoking, and heart-inspiring essays, poetry, art, nature, photography and music from a variety of sources.
Throughout the weekend, you will be invited to engage in honest self-reflection and to increase your capacity to listen to yourself and to others more deeply. Everything we will offer is by way of invitation, not demand. Our expectation is that you will participate in ways that are life-affirming for you. Everyone is welcome, regardless of previous Circle of Trust experience.
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.
