Courage in Schools

Courage in Schools programs, retreats, and workshops are designed to help educators renew themselves and translate personal tranformation into the transformation of their schools and institutions.  We offer educators opportunities to reflect on the inner dimensions of teaching and leading and to increase their capacity to listen to self and others more deeply.  Participants join with fellow educators to engage in honest self-reflection and explore questions about purpose, values, and commitment to their challenging work.
