SAGE WELLNESS
Building Educator Capacity One Breath At A Time
Welcome to
S.A.G.E.
Our passion & purpose is to help schools transform limiting beliefs, mindsets, and practices; and, to help teachers overcome stress so they can tend to the business of changing the world.
MISSION & VISION
S.A.G.E.’s mission is simple-- to make schools better for children.
S.A.G.E. imagines a world where schools are loving spaces for all children, where a school's social-emotional well-being, culture, and climate are as important as its academics, performance, and ranking.
For this vision to manifest, it is imperative that we support the well-being of educators who take care of our children. Through our holistic approach, S.A.G.E. Wellness:
-
Advances well-being in schools;
-
Supports educator self-care; and
-
Grows equanimity.
HOW WE SAGE
S.A.G.E. PROGRAMS
Our Mindful Leaders Apprenticeship Program is a 21-week apprenticeship, where students develop mindfulness and conflict resolution skills to cultivate leadership, growth, and mastery.
Our Mindful Leaders Online School offers a train-the-trainer curriculum and courses.
Except for 'time' and 'autonomy', 'support' has been the #1 priority sought by teachers. S.A.G.E. offers coaching for educators, school administrators and other professionals who are at risk for burnout.
PEACE ROOMS
We create and dedicate spa-like Peace Rooms, intentionally meditative spaces that serve as places for faculty and administrators to unwind, recharge and reset.
PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
We strive to build educator capacity in a way that enhances well-being. Our workshops blend learnings from a cross-section of fields, but the common denominator is always mindfulness.
TESTIMONIALS FROM OUR PARTNERS
"Your lesson yesterday was WONDERFUL! I feel like that was the most engaging and thought-provoking PD that I have ever experienced in my 21 years of teaching! I am using some of your ideas about restorative justice to use a discussion today in Spanish. It ties in perfectly to the idea of EXPERIENCES - which is our unit at the moment.
