Keeping Connected during a time of Disconnection

Keeping Connected during a time of Disconnection

This week has seen some schools return to increased restrictions in response to concerns about the Omicron variant. For some this means a return to bubbles, and means less opportunities for mixing of both staff and pupils. Our Education Lead, Ben Harper has put together some ideas and practices which may help your staff team’s sense of connection in this time.

Shhh... Revisted: Spring

For this week’s Shhh… we’re returning to the archives to look at a reflection we first shared in April 2020, right at the start of the first lockdown.

How can we find hope emerging from winter just like the little seeds and colours of Spring come up all around us at this time of year.

The sense of season change seems to have brought hope and light as we look towards the lifting of restrictions. Why does a season change speak to us? What are the ideas and pictures behind Spring that can help us in our wellbeing?

Shhh... Revisted: Purpose

For this week’s Shhh… we’re returning to the archives to look at a reflection we first shared in July 2020.

We wanted to look at purpose. How do we encourage and enable that sense of who we are and what we feel motivated to be or do? What good can I bring to the world? What motivates me in my life?

Rumi said "be a lamp, a lifeboat or a ladder.”

A lamp shining light to guide others.

A lifeboat, providing safety and rescue for those in trouble.

A ladder, giving people to ability to climb higher.

Why one would you like to be today?
