Welcome to the Center for Courage & Renewal New! Organize or join a Healing Democracy Action Circle, starting later this month. Learn more here. The Center works to foster personal and professional renewal through retreats and programs that offer the time and space to reflect on life and work. These retreats, called Courage to Teach®, Courage to Lead®, or Circles of Trust®, are led by skilled facilitators and make use of poetry and stories, solitude, reflection, and deep listening. When we reconnect who we are with what we do, we approach our lives and our work with renewed passion, commitment, and integrity. The Center for Courage & Renewal is a 501 (c)(3) educational nonprofit organization. We accept charitable donations to further our work.
