As educators, it is imperative we have an awareness of how trauma shows up in our classrooms- in our students, in our communities and in ourselves. We get to co-create healing centered spaces where trauma can get transmuted. We believe that this work must begin with ourselves. "Trauma not transformed will be trauma transferred." -Ashley Judd... #movingfromtraumatotransformation #healingcentered #traumainformed #collectiveliberation #communitycare #healthypeoplehealsystems #healthysystemshealpeople #teacherwellbeing #healthyworkplace #mentalhealthawareness #mindfulmentoring #tapthewellwithin #healigourselvestohealtheworld #educatorwellbeing #selfcarefortherealworld #mindfulnesspractice #teacherinspiration #putonyourownoxygenmaskfirst #transformationalleadership #educatorsustainability #youareworthit #educateliberatelaboroflove #healthyschools #healyourself #findyourmedicineanduseit #humanizingeducation #radicalselfcare #regulate4resilience

Stay tuned for Racial Affinity Healing Circles for educators. Coming this fall.

As educators, we have to be able to replenish all of the types of energy that we put out into the world through our work: This year, we used mental energy to deliver effective virtual and hybrid lesson plans, to think quickly when a student asked a surprising question, and to change gears when school either went to in person or back to virtual.... Emotional energy allowed us to be patient when technology wasn't working, empathetic with a student that has a really rough home life or to stay calm (at least parent facing) when school had to change course yet again this year. We used physical energy to set up hybrid classrooms, to set up new technology configurations and walk all around our classrooms while maintaining physical distance. Teachers need all of these energies. If we put out these kinds of energy, we also need to restore these kinds of energy. Our spiritual energy are the threads of our work that connect us to our "why". What are you doing this summer to care for and replenish of all of your energies? #sustainableresourcing #mentalenergy #emotionalenergy #physicalenergy #resilience #teacherssupportingteachers #mindfulmentoring #fillyourwell #summerbreak
