SEL SELF IN RELATION TO COMMUNITY: Module Four

When we have deeply explored and rooted our self love, our inner guidance system and our understanding of our personal identity, we have set a foundation that is empowered and centered, balanced and whole to move out into the world. We have embodied techniques of resilience. Through social emotional learning we realize the importance of what we cultivate within ourselves and, as educators, in others. The landscape of education is transforming along with us. We realize the importance of a healthy understanding of self, and a healthy environment in which to thrive. Through understanding self, family, community, and the world, focused on our own personal contribution to the greater whole, we begin to create a landscape that works for us individually and, because of that, works for others. The following manual is a guide to and through embodiment practices, tools, and techniques that have been anchored within self, complete with activities to explore with our students. These tools, ,and techniques have proven effective over the past 25 years in education settings internationally, for all ages and beliefs. We have spent many years training bodies and minds. It is time to focus on the heart, and our connections to each other.
