The 4th Annual CSP Retreat Participants

Seventy-five educators attended the 4th annual Compassionate Schools Project Summer Retreat on July 14-16 in beautiful General Butler State Park in Carrollton, KY. Participants included 72 educators from Jefferson County Public Schools, KY and 3 who traveled in from Charlottesville, VA.

Attendees chose among multiple retreat offerings, including massage, morning and night owl yoga, nature R&R, dance and gyrokinesis, journaling, art, gratitude and release practices, music, interactive theater, affirmations, nature walks, and a lakeside campfire.

Educators shared feeling refreshed and grounded, and grateful for the opportunity to connect with friends old and new. During a nature and poetry journaling session, one teacher wrote:

My Retreat

General Butler
Buck deer with velvet antlers
How I hate to go.

Wonderful teachers
Know what I’m going through
How I hate to leave.

Beautiful wildlife
Breathing in the crisp, clean air
I long to return.

This year’s remarkable retreat was made possible by generous gifts from Karen Leshner and Intrepid Philanthropy Foundation and The Norton Family Foundation.
