“. . . there’s no single answer that will solve all of our future problems. There’s no magic bullet. Instead there are thousands of answers–at least. You can be one of them if you choose to be.”

We are happy to be able to offer a second round of dinner conversations on
“Teaching High-School in a Time of Polycrisis”
Teaching high school at this moment in history can feel overwhelming. We face a polycrisis–a convergence of threats to the biological, social, and political wellbeing of society. In its midst, how do we continue to teach our students? How do we generate community, resilience, and what the Buddhist teacher Joanna Macy calls, “active hope?”
In a small group, over four dinners, we will provide mutual support and generative conversation.
(This program is designed for high school teachers.)
