New Offering! Mourning is the Work – A Monthly Art and Ritual-Based Gathering for Educators to Practice Metabolizing our Grief 🗓️October 17, 2024 • November 21, 2024 • December 19,2024 • January 16, 2025 • February 20, 2025 • March 20, 2025 💫Educators – how are we making space for ourselves and our students to process and heal from the emotional toll of grief in our lives? How might we integrate rituals, practices, and structures into our daily lives and school year to ensure we have a place where our grief is seen, held tenderly and processed? 💫 What is this? Drop-in sessions in which we engage in ritual or art-based practices toward self and collective mourning. 🎨🎨🎨 🕯️🕯️🕯️ How might it feel? Six drop-in sessions (come to one, some, or all!) that are experiential. They are not classical trainings but spaces to feel and be. Utilizing Francis Weller’s Gates of Grief, we will make sacred space to inquire into how we might begin to develop a relationship with the things we cannot change as we actively engage in the process of mourning through the creation of art, ritual, and connection.

✏️✏️✏️New Writings on School Crisis Leadership Recovery & Renewal - Voices from The Field! 📢📢📢 Check out three recent publications from SCRR Field Coaches, Guest Faculty, and community members now available at: https://bit.ly/SCRR_Blog. Swipe through to read selected quotes from each! In “CrEW for Educators: “Holding the Space for Big Feeling” in these Tumultuous Times” Stephanie Cariaga and Melissa Merin share the vision, story, and learnings of CrEW, “Critical Embodied Wellness (CrEW) for Educators” and explore the power of centering educator wellness in community. ✨ “Building Beloved Communities – Reflections on Trauma-Informed Communication and A Moment of Pause”, SCRR Field Coach Antoine Moore reflects on the power of trauma informed communication and offers simple but impactful strategies that we explore in one of our signature programs, A Moment of Pause. ✨ Network members loved Jen Leland’s session at our 2024 Summer Institute, “Trauma Informed Systems for Crisis Recovery & Renewal” - especially the part when Jen unpacked burnout and moral injury as systemic barriers to our collective renewal. We asked Jen to write more about this for you, and she did! In “Is it burnout or is it a moral injury?”, Jen explores the phenomenons of burnout, moral injury and collective care for educators and how we might shift our school systems to be more healing-centered through deeper explorations of recovery and renewal.✨ #voicesfromthefield #schoolcrisishealing #educatorhealing #embodiedwellness#traumainformedcommunication #moralinjury #educatorburnout
