Courage & Renewal with Kirsty McGeoch | 5:30PM | Monday 17 June

What would you do with more courage? What might it take to cultivate it? This experiential workshop is a taster of the Circle of Trust ® approach developed by writer, educator and activist, Parker J. Palmer and the Center for Courage &Renewal. Together we will co-create a space for honest dialogue and non-judgmental listening, practicing particular ways of relating that will help us be more present with ourselves and others. Prompted by evocative texts, there will be time for individual reflection and journaling as well as large and small-group dialogues in which our own stories can be shared. These processes offer the opportunity to gain clarity around the questions we are holding in relation to our lives and leadership. They also deepen the self- knowledge that begets trust (in ourselves and others), which in turn begets the courage to act on what matters most. About Kirsty McGeoch Kirsty has been an educator for over 20 years and currently wears a few hats. When not teaching at the University of Sydney, she facilitates digital storytelling projects in the education, community, social entrepreneurship and disability sectors. Recently, she also joined the team at 4C Transformative Learning, working with schools and organisations to embed creativity, collaboration, communication and critical reflection in their practices and processes. She also has a deep interest in reflective practice, which led her to the Circle of Trust ® approach. Now as an accredited Courage & Renewal facilitator, she offers weekend and day retreats open to people of all professional backgrounds, as well as programs for school leadership teams and organisations more broadly. What enlivens her about this work is offering people the safe and welcoming space to tune into their own wisdom for living and leading well.
