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.

Every year, COR's birthday is a chance to celebrate the people, relationships, and moments that make our family so special.

To help celebrate, we asked the COR fam to reflect on what COR has taught them, what COR means to them, and their birthday wishes for the year ahead.

Cheers to another year of connection, belonging, and making a difference together! 🎉

“If you look at child development, the first two years of life is all about keeping the child very near to you. Close, safe, loved and nurtured. The next challenge for us is to stretch them out of that phase; to be more other-centred.” 🫂 
- Simone Schipper, Netherlands

In June, we hosted @simoneschipper from @prinsenstichting to spend some time with our teams. Thank you for your wealth of knowledge and expertise. Visit us in the COR Academy to learn more about Gentle Teaching.

After leaving COR to work in a different field, Joel returned a few years later. What brought him back was the people, the relationships, and a role that felt like the right fit.

As a Team Leader, he helps support both his team and the people who call COR home, helping create opportunities for others to grow, succeed, and thrive.

“Caring is looking at something, reflecting on how we do it, and challenging ourselves: how can we do it better?”

June 21st is National Indigenous People’s Day. We acknowledge and celebrate the incredible stories, teachings, and contributions from the Indigenous people within our COR community. Jessica, our Indigenous Cultural Advisor, has been integral to the innovation that has led us to raising our very own accessible Teepee. Together, we painted the canvas, gather in ceremony, and have created one more space where everyone is included.

In celebration of Father’s Day, members of the COR family are sharing some of the lessons they’ve learned from their dads! These lessons have stayed with them through the years and helped shape who they are today.

To all the dads, grandpas, and father figures in our community, thank you and Happy Father’s Day!
