Extraordinary times, extraordinary stories.
New York educators, come together to write and share your stories in these exceptional times. Join a small group of teachers, for three days of inspiration, sustenance, and protected time and space to write, share work, and reflect on implications for meaningful processing and change in our classrooms and school communities.
We encourage writing in any and all forms and genres, and invite teacher-writers at all writing levels to join us, from beginners to published authors. We welcome educators across disciplines, grade levels, and professional roles. Leaf and Pen retreats are inclusive, supportive and productive.
We will work together through a combination of in-person (and yes, strictly socially distanced) outdoor sessions, and online Zoom sessions.
There’s no such thing as a neutral education. Education either functions as an instrument to bring about conformity or freedom. –Paolo Freire
