Program Description:
Join us for an end of school year retreat to help you replenish and rejuvenate. We have designed the experience to nurture you and cultivate skills you can take back to your daily life.
We invite you to take this time to explore your capacity for attention, emotional balance and compassion in and out of the classroom. Our time together will support you in bringing a mindful presence to your personal life and professional work in schools.
The retreat includes daily periods of silent meditation practice, one full day of functional silence, mindful movement, solitary reflection, time in the natural world, and opportunities to share perspectives and experiences with other educators. This program is not focused on bringing mindfulness practices to students.
