The Center for Courage & Renewal helps foster personal and professional renewal through retreats that offer the time and space to reflect on life and work. These retreats, called Courage to Teach, circles of trust or Courage to Lead, are led by skilled facilitators and make use of poetry and stories, solitude, reflection, and deep listening.

Music is a powerful tool for creating a mood in any setting. For guided meditation, a facilitator can use soft, serene sounds and/or music for the first part of the guided meditation-but can offer a few minutes of silence afterword for those who can't feasibly concentrate with noise-to allow silent contemplation, which is a key aspect for any class lesson.
