Step into a retreat of fun and team-building within our games room lounge, where OISE's faculty and staff gather to unwind, co-operate, and compete every Wednesday from 11:30am-12:00pm.

This meeting is open to teachers, educators, teacher candidates, and teacher educators interested in being a part of an ongoing community of support.

Ready to step-away for a moment, from work and routines? Perhaps the body and mind are longing for some balance and relief from the busy-ness and burn-out of teaching and learning. Refresh and renew yourself, with other students on Wellness Wednesdays.

Awaken and realign the body and mind with a grounding meditation, nourishing breath practice, and supportive movement. Ease any stress or strain, maintain energy, enhance wellbeing, and perhaps feel a sense of wholeness.

This HYBRID professional development series responds to the pressing need for teachers to be supported in how they are cultivating wellness for themselves, their students and their shared environments. Over the course of 8 weeks, teachers will be welcomed into a participatory, embodied and arts -based learning experience to engage at the intersection of social justice, mental health, socio-emotional learning, community-building, and environmental sustainability. This series acknowledges that ‘care for self, one another and our Earth’ must be grown from the relational culture of each classroom, and demonstrate efficacy across a diversity of emerging needs, identities, capacities and desires. Offering both a model and experience for broaching wellbeing, peace and resilience, this series will provide an adaptable, responsive and hands-on space for teachers to develop practices of holistic care to bring to their learning communities.
