This week, we highlight our “Mending Our Wounds” programming. Envisioned by Oriana at the onset of our project, Mending Our Wounds invites (or warmly demands?) us to not only do the work for others, about others, and to others…but for ourselves, about ourselves, and to ourselves. We are the other half in the relationship with students and with our clients.
Here, we highlight Oriana’s newest blog piece, “Doorways Towards Healing: Mending Our Wounds” that offers her facilitator reflections on two of her signature Mending Our Wounds programs she created for us.
We also include video recordings of self-attuning practices we’ve offered at our Summer and Winter Institutes for Educator Healing over the past 5 years.

When we launched in 2020, we held a series of “open houses” to introduce us to you, to welcome you into our collective living room (so to speak). Many folks we met all those years ago are vibrant members of our network today!
We want to close how we opened, and on May 8th, we’ll be hosting “close houses” (well that’s not a thing, but it should be).
Join us for a joyful and nourishing gathering (at one of the two times below) designed to celebrate our renewal journey together and nurture all the possibilities surrounding what comes of this invaluable heart-work, next. This informal closing community “mixer” is a chance to reconnect, reflect, commit and recommit—to ourselves, to each other, and to the ongoing practice of renewal beyond SCRR’s program.
Together, we’ll witness stories of growth, share moving practices, and imagine bold possibilities for how the essence of renewal work continues to live in our lives and communities—well beyond May 2025.
Come as you are.
Bring your brilliance, your wonder, your heart. Let’s celebrate all that we’ve moved through together, collaboratively.
