"Go into the woods and tell your story to the trees." (from a poem called "The Quiet Listeners by Laura Foley)

In this Courage to Teach ® retreat, we will use the principles and practices of a Circle of Trust ® and the 5 Habits of the Heart to provide educators with an opportunity for rest, renewal, and re-engagement with their inner lives. Based on the work of Parker Palmer and the Center for Courage and Renewal, we will use poetry, movement, nature, personal reflection, somatic experiencing and community witness, to explore the Lessons from the Forest in our personal and professional lives.

Join us for this Back to School Courage to Teach Circle of Trust ® Retreat.
August 5-7, 2019 at the Cloquet Forestry Center
