Kirkridge Retreat and Study Center is offering three mini-retreats in support of teachers and the many others serving in that role during this pandemic. With great gratitude for your work in the world, we invite you to register for any one or all three.

Marian David offers Sustaining the Soul that Teaches as a gift to support those with the courage to teach, to explore practices to sustain them. Marian created Sustaining the Soul that Serves as she worked with college students teaching in the Children’s Defense Fund Summer Freedom Schools. As she directed the Freedom School program, Marian quickly discerned that her young teachers were burning out, often lacking a deeper understanding of  how to do the inner work that would sustain them.  Marian has had many years of experience in public schools as a teacher and guidance counselor.

Jean Richardson serves as the Executive Director at Kirkridge Retreat and Study Center. A trained facilitator of the Center for Courage and Renewal and an ordained Presbyterian minister, she has led numerous programs and workshops over the years.

Pricing: Kirkridge is committed to providing heartfelt and generous programming that is available to all. This retreat is considered a gift to teachers. The cost of providing each program in this series is approximately $20 per person. Please support this program if you are able, including sending to others who would benefit from this and/or who can help financially support this work.  As always, all are welcome regardless of ability to pay.
