A half-day educator program that helps your staff pause and reflect on the power of presence in their personal and professional lives. Educators will learn practical tools to support well-being and deepen connections with students and colleagues, building a stronger school community.
The Presence Retreat really made you mindful, not only as a teacher, but in your life in general, to be present in what you’re doing. And to just enjoy the moments of life and engage with kids. Recognizing that sometimes the most important things we do here in education don’t actually involve teaching the curriculum that we’re teaching, but just making a difference in somebody’s life.
