This workshop explores the intersection of education, spirituality, and the natural world, offering teachers practical tools and sensory experiences that nurture personal wellbeing, creative renewal, and deeper connection to their school community.
In a world that often celebrates growth and achievement, we sometimes forget the quiet wisdom of rooting — of grounding ourselves in presence, purpose, and connection. Teaching from the Ground Up is a professional development experience designed to reconnect educators to their own sources of nourishment and inspiration through nature, sound, and reflective practice.
