About the Course

This summer discover GRACE – a mindfulness-based psychology course specially designed for educators to grow these essential resources of Awareness, Compassion and Empathy. This course is approved by Department of Education for EPV days and hosted in partnership with Blackrock Education Centre. 

As we continue to find our way in meeting the uncertain and ever-evolving demands of living and learning in the midst of a cascade of global crises. this live and interactive summer course offers teachers a restorative space to attend to wellbeing in practice. A space to refill the well.

There are lots of curricula to support teaching wellbeing for students, this course asks – and aims to answer – how do we hold space for the teachers? to flourish and in turn encourage the flourishing of students and the school system? 

Informed by the latest neuroscience and psychological research and 25 years of practice experience in community and school setting, this set of evidence-based skills offers teachers a clear pathway for developing and advancing the skills necessary to respond to the complexity of demands in being a teacher today.

Inspired by immersive retreat style approaches to learning together, this course is experiential and interactive in style and offers a series of practical experiences to take into the next school year. There will be plenty of time and space for shared dialogue and activities within and between the course sessions.
