Gentle Teaching Stories:

The Gentle Teaching philosophy has such a unique meaning and purpose in everyone’s life

September 28, 2023/inBlog, Employment, 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 for over a year now and am constantly reminded in my day-to-day life of the positive impacts Gentle Teaching has had on my life. Gentle Teaching has not only shown 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, the conversations, 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.

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.

Trent,

COR Family Member

Did you know Douglas Park has an incredible disc golf course? A crew heads out weekly to enjoy fresh air, great company, and a little friendly competition.

So much fun watching everyone connect, laugh, and stay active together!

For Param, the best part of this work is creating spaces where people feel comfortable being themselves.

As an Adventurer at COR, he helps plan, facilitate and connect people with community events and activities. Beyond the excitement of the activities, it’s the relationships and connections that help people feel safe and welcomed that make this work meaningful to him.
