Are you looking to deepen your self-awareness as an educator, improve your teaching, and expand your understanding of embodied pedagogy?
As teachers, we have the enormous privilege of helping people expand who they are and how they experience the world.
We are catalysts for change, which means we’re engaging with people who are in a vulnerable position; it is our responsibility to ensure that we accompany our students with the greatest emotional and cultural sensitivity and to make the process an empowering one.
The educational playing field is shifting as society becomes increasingly aware of the harm that can be caused by perpetuating limiting attitudes, approaches and assumptions from the framework of education that we’ve inherited, as well as the impact of limited learning models that exclude the body.
We are being called to cocreate a culture that is much more emotionally literate, embodied and holistic. One that fosters somatic awareness and involves the body in learning and relating.
Teaching is not just about transmitting information, it’s about creating shifts in awareness, opening doors to new experiences, offering glimpses of previously unknown possibilities.
Learning is empowerment.
And to be able to do that for our students we need to be able to deeply understand ourselves and our biases as well as our students and the ways they respond due to their particular makeup and enculturation.
