iRest Australasia Teacher’s Community
A meet up for Sydney iRest teachers was recently held, with quarterly catch ups to follow. In our first meeting we shared how we’re each using iRest in our lives, both personally and as a teaching application professionally. We discovered a breadth of interests amongst us; across military, health and other public service settings. For populations including; kids, those experiencing domestic violence, amputees and people with mental health challenges. There was lots of passion, and ideas were flying about how to spread the precious iRest teachings via our various contacts and within our contexts. We finished with a practice and all enjoyed the opportunity to come together in recognition of these teachings that we hold dear to our hearts. If you’d like to be added to the list of people interested in attending an iRest teacher’s catch up in the Sydney area, please email Catherine@irest.org.
Have you thought about holding a teacher’s meet up in your region? iRest Australasia would love to support you to do so.
