As I teach, I project the condition of my soul. - Parker Palmer
If you still love the profession of education deep down, but just don’t know how much longer you can last in it, this is the conference for you. Hosted by the Colorado State University Writing Project, the conference will be devoted to helping you nourish your mind, body, and soul as an educator by giving you space and time for professional renewal and personal restoration in community. 
​
Join us in June on the Colorado State University campus in beautiful Fort Collins, Colorado, to explore the concept of sustainable teaching and learn mindfulness and resiliency practices that will help you stay in the profession for the long haul.​
