This episode is a recap of the bi-monthly workshop, “Resilience for Teachers: Learning to Thrive Not Just Survive” where elementary teachers and arts educators participate in exercises focused on self-care and mindfulness.

Although teacher stress and burnout from COVID-19 spurred the creation of this workshop series, these are timeless ideas.

During this podcast, Cally guides listeners through mindful, artful practices. Whether you are walking, driving, or listening from home you can participate physically or by using your imagination. Listeners can apply the breathing and movement practices and activities in different places or situations.
