Living, Teaching, and Creating Courageously

I am a teacher and artist who had two incredible opportunities in 2010-- attending a mindfulness workshop and a Courage to Teach Institute. Both experiences were reaffirming for me, personally and professionally. I discovered so many of us involved in the courage work and in mindfulness work are artists, poets, writers, and creators. This blog is a place to explore ideas around mindfulness-- using the arts of photography, writing, and teaching-- to inspire thinking and promote discussions.
