✨✨✨NEW FROM SCRR: Leaning In and Leading Out to Renew: Navigating Lived-Polycrisis School Leadership - A Guidebook from and for School Leaders
Our final publication, by you, about you, for you. 🌊
We hope to offer you as a crisis leader a place to name what you have been going through and a few practices to help you navigate. We hope you recognize your own strength in those in-between spaces where leadership and self-care intersect. We hope to offer the field of crisis leadership a guide of tools, practices, and pauses that foster a culture where leaders are not merely enduring but are supported in ways that sustain their wisdom, well-being and capacity to lead.
This product was written and developed from interviews conducted by three 2023-2024 SCRR Leadership Fellow’s Capstone Project.

🪷🪷🪷 We warmly invite you to join us for the sixth and final session of Mourning Is the Work: A Monthly Art and Ritual-Based Gathering for Educators to Practice Metabolizing our Grief, tomorrow, Thursday, March 20th.
This session offers a pause from the fast pace of life, providing an opportunity for both introspection and collective witnessing—the shared, active experience of grieving that reminds us we are not alone in our deep feelings and healing.
Metabolizing grief—integrating our many pains and transforming them into something we can learn from—is essential as we move forward in creating the world we desire. Rituals and art-based practices are powerful tools in this process, offering structure and expression for emotions that are difficult to articulate.
Tomorrow’s session will be a deeper dive into the Five Gates of Grief, which help us understand the diverse sources of loss we face, from the death of loved ones to unfulfilled personal potential. Through art and ritual-based practices, we’ll create Oracle Cards to call forth our own wisdom and insights, providing ongoing affirmation and guidance. Please join us and spread the word—we can’t wait to be with you in this way.
3:30 p.m. – 4:30 p.m. PT/ 5:30 p.m. – 6:30 p.m. CT/ 6:30 p.m. – 7:30 p.m. ET
