http://www.couragerenewal.org/parker

The mission of the Center for Courage & Renewal (CCR) is to nurture personal and professional integrity and the courage to act on it.
We do this by:

• Helping people who wish to live and work more wholeheartedly renew themselves, reclaim their vocational vitality, and deepen their professional practice.
• Supporting these people in becoming forces for positive change in their workplaces, professions, and communities, as well as in the lives of the people they serve.
• Contributing to the growing national conversation about reclaiming integrity and courage in professional and public life.

The Center helps foster personal and professional renewal through supporting retreats and programs that offer the time and space to slow down and reflect on life and work. The retreats – based in the Circle of Trust® approach -- are often called Courage to Teach (R) or Courage to Lead® and are led by skilled facilitators and make use of poetry and stories, solitude, reflection, and deep listening.
