Educators are asked to hustle before they are allowed to heal. We are exposed to trauma with students, their families, and communities. We dedicate ourselves to building deep relationships with students and put them first within broader systems of oppression - to do this, we need practices and adult community to sustain ourselves and change our workplace response to trauma.
Immersive gatherings can allow educators to find wholeness individually and thrive together. The goal is that we build solidarity and vulnerability through joyful, contemplative, and connecting activities grounded in nature, and taking time and space away from challenging contexts. How that manifests is individual, no extra work to implement any program, while also inviting in collective solidarity and purpose.
Our membership grows each time people finish a retreat. Everyone can become part of the welcoming and support of the next group to follow. We embody healing in our work outside of retreats, including shared labor of hosting, resources and cultivating agency for change, and digital/dinner connections monthly.
