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.

⛳ Mini putts, big laughs, and a little friendly competition!

An afternoon at SkyPark (@skyparkregina) turned into a whole lot of fun, from so-close moments to big laughs and everything in between.

Thanks to everyone who came out and made it such a great time!

We had the opportunity to host a Rattle Making Workshop with kêhtê-ayak Nina Wilson and her oskâpêwis helper, Daniel Sangrey.

Participants created traditional rattles using elk hide while learning about their meaning and significance. In the Nehiyawak creation story it is taught that the beginning of the universe was sound. The rattle represents this sound through its rumbling & thunder-like voice. They are also connected to spring as the Nehiyawak spring starts when the first thunderstorm arrives. The rattle also accompanies the drum, with the drum being the heartbeat of turtle island (Kokum turtle) and the rattle being the rhythm of that heartbeat.

Thank you to Nina and Daniel for sharing their knowledge and to everyone who joined us. It was a meaningful experience centered on learning, culture, and connection!

After years in a different industry, Jeff decided to try something new and found a role centered around connection and community.

Working with youth, building relationships, and showing up with empathy each day is what makes this work meaningful to him. From supporting daily routines to exploring interests in the community, every moment is about meeting people where they’re at and being present.

At the recent Prairie Sexuality & Disability Conference, Natalya Mason shared powerful insights on how disability, gender, and sexuality intersect.

Her message was clear: identity is layered, language matters, and inclusion starts by challenging assumptions and listening with intention.

Creating spaces where people feel seen, respected, and supported isn’t optional, it’s essential.

Since 2022, the Prairie Sexuality & Disability Conference has been more than just another event. It’s a space where conversations spark connection, ideas turn into action, and people leave feeling a little less alone.

One organization that has been a consistent part of this journey is SIECCAN (Sex Information and Education Council of Canada). Their evidence-based resources empower educators, self-advocates, caregivers, and allies, giving attendees practical tools to take back into their communities.

Want to see how PSD CON is making real change and why resources like SIECCAN’s matter so much? Check out the full story in our latest blog post, LINK IN BIO!
