SCRR’s Summer Institute 2022
Boundaries for Joy: Centering Renewal in a Time of Unrest
August 11, 2022
9:00 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. PT / 12:00 p.m. – 3:30 p.m. ET
This event has passed and registration is closed.
One of our project’s central tenets is to listen and learn from educators: What is most needed to recover from a school crisis? How might we create spaces for educators to experience their own processing so that they might feel more resourced and supported?
Join us on August 11th for our 2nd SCRR Summer Institute, where we gather to re-imagine wellness and explore ideas, structures and rituals that allow us to welcome the new school year more deeply attuned to our personal and collective needs.
This summer, we focus specifically on boundaries for joy: How might boundaries inform and form our joy? What are we upholding by our abilities and inabilities to honor our needs?
Note: this is less of a space to learn how to do for others and more of a space that centers how to be for yourselves.

- Provide an opportunity for educators and other school professionals to learn new ways in which they can utilize ritual to recover and renew to support their community after a big thing (crisis event).
