We know that the best and most exciting learning happens when students and teachers feel safe and connected. Our programs aim to nurture healthy, safe, trusting relationships among members of the school community.
We believe in supporting educators’ personal and professional development so that you can embody the qualities you wish to nurture in your students.
Space and scholarship funding are still available for our Summer Workshop for Educators!
Summer Workshop for Educators | July 11 - 14 | Northampton, MA
Tuition $550; Scholarships Available!
This workshop is an opportunity for participants to learn the basic theory and practice of our Sustainable Compassionate Education approach. As educators we are naturally inclined to extend care to others, yet rarely are we taught how to do so in a sustainable way. Our Summer Workshop for Educators will introduce participants to the theory and practice of Sustainable Compassion Training (SCT). Educators will be grounded in the current scientific research from the field of neuroscience, psychology, contemplative studies and systems theory.
During the workshop participants will:
- Methods for avoiding burnout and empathy fatigue
- Methods to cultivate attention, empathy, mindfulness and compassion
- Methods to build and sustain caring, trusting communities
- The scientific theory and practices of the three modes of care - Receiving Care, Self Care and Extending Care
- Strategies and practices to help build resilience, increase relational trust
