What is this Retreat about?

This event is presented by the Community of Interbeing, following the teachings of Thich Nhat Hanh.

The Educators Retreat is an opportunity to develop mindfulness both in ourselves and in our work with children and young people.

The Retreat provides an opportunity to practice ways to cultivate a more compassionate classroom, school or college. The practices are also applicable to less formal youth work environments.

We will explore the workings of our bodies and minds and learn how to use the power of silence and self-care to increase clear thinking and action. Participants will experience practical tools and mindful methods specifically relevant to teachers and others who work with children and young people, and will learn how to form and sustain mindful communities in schools and universities, in youth work and at home.
