Gentle Teaching Stories:

“I aspire to be a better person, more caring and loving.”

September 28, 2023/inBlog, Employment, Gentle Teaching, Stories

Gentle Teaching has transformed me as the person I am and as the person I aspire to be by making me an overall more understanding and caring person. I bring the aspects of Gentle Teaching into every part of my life by being mindful and making sure everyone I interact with feels safe, loved and respected and accepted regardless if I’m supporting, if I am at school, or with friends and family.

“The tools of Gentle Teaching: our hands, our eyes, our words and our presence, are tools that I bring into any relationship that I have in my life.”

I does not matter if I am supporting, spending time with people I am closest to or meeting new people, I always try and be mindful of the tools of Gentle Teaching. I aspire that one day the tools of Gentle Teaching will just be second nature for me, being mindful in the way I present myself and talk to people is very important to me because it helps people feel safe and comfortable.

The more I practice Gentle Teaching in my everyday life the easier it is for me to not just use the tools in mind, but for the tools to just became part of who I am and I am loving the person I become.

“For my three amazing years being part of the Creative Options Regina team and family it has definitely changed my way of thinking for the better.”

I know that everyone is fighting their own battles regardless of how their life looks from the outside. I have developed a greater sense of unconditional love, something I thought I had an abundance of before. Since getting the honour to spend many hours a week with individuals I serve I have been able to show and have been shown in return an unconditional love I didn’t know was possible, and with this I am able to unconditionally love all those around me.

I now base my relationships on unconditional love and I know that as I grow as a person and become older and more experienced in every aspect of my life I aspire to being more loving and more unconditional.

“Gentle Teaching aspires me to be a better person, to be more caring and loving.”

Every day I create a culture of gentleness wherever I am. I aspire to better myself and better those around me. I hope to one day be successful because I am a kind and caring person and I know for a fact that I am that way today and will continue to be that way because of Gentle Teaching. And for that I am extremely grateful.

We hear people are posting like it’s 2016, so here’s a few snaps from us!

Looking back, we are so grateful for how far we’ve come (and yet we know there is still so many more opportunities on the horizon). Same values, growing impact, and plenty more ahead, with our community at the centre of it all.

A case of the New Mom Jitters. Like many others, all Cassandra needed was to be met at her own kitchen table. Thank you for walking with us as we forge new pathways for care.

In October, we hosted the 3rd Annual Prairie Sexuality and Disability Conference. Bringing together self-advocates, families, educators, service providers, and community members for powerful conversations about sexuality, rights, access, and inclusion.

Every time we come together, we are honoured to sit with a group of people advocating for their own lives through honest dialogue, centred around lived experience— reminding us why we create and nurture these spaces where sexuality and disability aren’t exclusive topics.

The energy is shifting with this intentional work and we’re already planning our 2026 conference! New voices, fresh perspectives, and even more opportunities to learn, challenge assumptions, and grow as caregivers together. 

 
A huge thank you to our sponsors: @_sieccan and @saskprevention for their generous support, and to the @estelle_eventcentre for such a beautiful space to come together and learn.

 
Learn more about future presenter opportunities and stay connected at nevertmi.ca.
