Gentle Teaching Stories: “It has such a unique meaning and purpose in everyone’s life.”

Gentle Teaching Stories:

“It shines a light on the needs and emotions of others to ensure they feel safe.”

July 25, 2023/inBlog, Gentle Teaching, Stories

Gentle Teaching has genuinely transformed the person I am today, but most importantly, the person I am continuously working to become. I have been with COR over a year now and am constantly reminded in my day to day life the positive impacts Gentle Teaching has had on my life. It has not only showed me a fundamentally different way of approaching life here at COR, but it has allowed me to approach my everyday life differently.

Through my training, through the conversations, within my education, and through my supportive role here at COR I have been exposed to the importance of empathy. Gentle Teaching has indisputably opened my eyes to the ability to understand why individual people react in the ways they do, and to have the skills to foster relationships that can work collaboratively with people to become happier and healthier.

“The Gentle Teaching philosophy has such a unique meaning and purpose in everyone’s life, and I believe that is the pure beauty in it.”

For me, I have grasped raising Gentle Teaching as a way of living, not only for myself but so that I can positively make my mark on each person I encounter. Gentle Teaching has embedded in me the importance to take on every day with the hopes of lifting others up through collaboratively and patiently working together.

Applying Gentle Teaching to my everyday life has been a transformation I could have never imagined when I began here at COR. I have learned to value each person for who they are genuinely, but more importantly, to live a life of empowering each other. I have always been a team-oriented person. With the addition of this philosophy, they want for the empowerment of everyone around me, they strive to build everyone’s confidence with their own identity, and their meaning is amplified.

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.

“There should be no group of people on this planet that should have to use their behaviour to communicate. We just have to get better at listening.”

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!

Love is not a privilege. It’s a human right. ❤️

At the recent Prairie Sexuality & Disability Conference, Dr. Karyn Harvey delivered a keynote that challenged all of us to rethink support — and to centre something essential: connection.

Featured on CBC Saskatchewan’s The Morning Edition, Dr. Harvey spoke about loneliness as a public health crisis, the trauma of exclusion, and why safety alone isn’t enough. People deserve real love, real intimacy, real belonging.

Through powerful stories of couples who waited decades for their first “real date,” partners who stood by each other through illness, and individuals whose loneliness left them vulnerable, one message was clear: Connection is prevention. Connection is healing. Connection is a right.
