Teaching Bravery: The education of compassionate warriors with Noel McLellan

040 Next to home school is where children and teens spend most of their time. Teachers have a profound influence on their students, in a way that goes beyond the mere imparting of knowledge.  Educators are the ambassadors and elders of the culture, capable of passing on the positive values and aspirations of society, but also the collective anxieties and fears.  By tuning into the innate awareness and compassion of learners teachers can inspire the next generation to be brave, open and loving no matter how uncertain the future may be.In this episode I speak with Noel McClellan, educator and author of Teaching Bravery: Meditation and heart advice for teachers about self care, embodied awareness and the inner path of teaching and effective parenting.  We also discuss the role of mindfulness meditation for transforming the learning environment from stress and overwhelm to deep connection and trust in basic goodness.Follow Awake In Relationship on Instagram and TwitterIf you have been loving what you are hearing on AIR  please rate, review and subscribe to get the latest content fresh to your device.  Sign up for our newsletter at awakeinrelationship.com to learn about upcoming programs and events.Do you have suggestions for guests or feedback on the show?  Send us an email at [email protected] or better yet, fill out a brief audience survey  Thanks for listening and stay connected!
