• Holistic Healing for Educators & Classrooms: Credit 1 at Prairiewoods

  <p>Have the stressors of teaching, the pandemic, hybrid-learning and daily life affected your personal happiness and well-being? Have you experienced difficulty finding time to engage in self-care activities that may help? In this in-person 1-hour credit course, learn “micro-interventions” to use daily to reset your brain and empower you to fully show up with a compassionate heart toward yourself, your students, your family and the world. Through practices of mindfulness, self-compassion and neuroscience, begin to restore holistic healing and build resiliency, joy, optimism and curiosity, leading to health and well-being. It provides educators and any school or university staff or administrator with research-based theory, collaborative design and opportunities to practice. A text, <em>Practicing Presence,</em> is included in the registration fee. This course is hosted at Prairiewoods (120 East Boyson Road in Hiawatha) and facilitated by Kim Seward, RN, BSN, CMI, and Ann Jackson, PBVM. Dual registration with Grant Wood Area Education Agency is required. The lodger fee is $100 and includes sessions, lodging and all meals. The commuter fee is $50 and includes sessions and daily lunch. There is an additional charge of $35 to Grant Wood AEA. (Thanks to a generous donation by the Sisters of the Presentation, Dubuque, all additional costs will be covered.)
