The Courage to Teach Sampler Retreat

I wanted to make you aware of an opportunity coming up the week after Thanksgiving.  Lewis and Clark College is holding a Courage to Teach sampler retreat, which is an opportunity to experience the reflection and renewal of the Courage to Teach without committing to the two-year retreat cycle.  Though if you're like me, once you experience the sampler retreat, you'll be eager to participate in a full cycle!  If you are interested in meeting wonderful and inspirational teachers, in learning more about yourself as a teacher, and in using poetry and the metaphor of the seasons to reflect on the intersection between your personal and professional life, please consider participating.  I believe you also have the opportunity to participate in a Clearness Committee, a Quaker tradition of deep listening, reflection and renewal.
Information and applications are available here.
