Reflections on a Brave Teachers Weekend Retreat…..
The first time I attended a Brave Teachers retreat weekend I didn’t know what to expect. I did know, however, that I was running on empty—drained both physically and emotionally—from teaching. I couldn’t bear the thought of dragging myself through another school year.
I chose to teach because of the passion I felt for my subject and the desire to share that, as well as the satisfaction of investing in the learning process for my students. I had no idea that I would become so discouraged and disillusioned… from increasing paperwork, disrespect from students and parents, long hours, lack of administrative support.
Within an hour of walking into the room with Brave Teacher Mim and her colleagues my sense of peace was overwhelming. I knew I was in the place I needed to be! I do not consider myself creative nor do I have artistic talent. Before the retreat I worried that I would have to share things about myself with strangers or be asked to do something that made me uncomfortable. And how does one even begin to journal when “the well is dry??”
That weekend I learned many things about myself through the power of reflective thinking and creating a vision board for myself. Mim provided all that I needed: thought-provoking quotes and messages to start me thinking in new ways, an empty journal full of the right questions (not always easy to answer truthfully!), solitude, laughter, delicious food, art materials, a relaxed environment, and unconditional acceptance. This was transformative for me!! I felt free to explore parts of my Self—my soul—that had been pushed so far back into a corner that I no longer knew they were there. What I created that weekend showed me what was possible, what my soul was craving but had been buried under the hectic daily pace of teaching and life in general. It became clear to me that I could CHANGE my life.
The best part of the weekend? Fellowship with other women, other teachers, other mothers. Realization that I am not alone in my struggles was powerful, life-changing, and empowering. Thank you, Brave Teacher Mim, for your vision and the investment you’ve made in my life—and my students!
