Welcome to the Center for Courage & Renewal

Join Parker Palmer

For a retreat and conference
on habits of the heart and the future of American Democracy

in Boston October 21-24

When we reconnect who we are with what we do, we approach our lives and our work with renewed passion, commitment, and integrity.

The Center works to foster personal and professional renewal through retreats and programs that offer the time and space to reflect on life and work. These retreats, called Courage to Teach® , Courage to Lead®, or Circles of Trust ®, are led by skilled facilitators and make use of poetry and stories, solitude, reflection, and deep listening.

The Center for Courage & Renewal is a 501 (c)(3) educational nonprofit organization. We accept charitable donations to further our work.
