The Nervous System of the Educator: Building Capacity Through Embodied Practice

Teaching asks us to be present for others every day, but how can we care for the system that makes presence possible?


Through discussion, embodied practices, and opportunities for self-reflection, we will explore how the nervous system shapes our experiences as educators and influences the ways we teach, connect, and respond to everyday challenges.

Together, we will consider how greater awareness of the nervous system can invite a different relationship with ourselves, creating space for more intentional choice in both our personal lives and teaching practice.

Led by Falon Baltzell.
