EVENTS & OPPORTUNITIES

Healing-Centered Education Summit

As we continue to navigate a lingering pandemic and wrestle with multiple crises in our communities, this year’s summit is a call to slow down. Our vision for this gathering is to integrate insights from the slow work movement, the timely emergence of healing-centered education and the benefits of engaging in a sense of playfulness. Our mission for this summit is to hold space to nurture our collective flourishing by curating conversations and experiences that explore healing-centered theories, practices and modalities.
