The Exhale for Educators

The Exhale for Educators: Time to Breathe, Connect, Grow, and Thrive

Educators spend their days pouring into students, families, colleagues, and school communities. But who is pouring back into them?

Peaceful Schools NC invites educators and school staff to The Exhale for Educators, a four-part, in-person Saturday wellness and resilience series designed to help you slow down, recharge, and reconnect with yourself and others.

Thoughtfully curated with Olynda Smith, Master Yoga Teacher and Parent Coach, the series brings together mindfulness, reflection, connection, and resilience practices that support the whole person behind the title of educator.

Come as you are, share space with fellow educators, and leave with practical tools to support your well-being in everyday life and work. Attend one session, several, or all four.

Dates: October 17 and December 5, 2026; February 6 and April 24, 2027 Time: 10:00 a.m. to noon Location: Carolina Friends School Dance Studio, Durham Cost: $25 per session. Group discounts are available when a school or district registers and pays for a group.

CEUs are available, and light refreshments are provided.

You pour in. We pour back. Because you matter too.
