The Inner Work of the Teacher

Starlight Rays in Darkened Times: Seminars on Contemporary Topics

with Alison Davis

This interactive seminar is designed to offer teachers an opportunity to become conscious of and tend to the intricacies of their inner life through self-reflection, dialogue, and artistic inquiry. It centers questions of self-care, self-healing, and self-transformation in order to become available to students and to free up one’s perceptive capacities in the service of the growing, evolving human being.
