How do we choose our teaching formats so the container fits the transformation we invite?

How do we choose our teaching formats so the container fits the transformation we invite?

Embodied teaching shows up across so many settings and rhythms: a drop-in class, an ongoing weekly, a fixed series, a one-time workshop, a course, an intensive, a retreat. Each structure opens something and asks something of the teacher holding it. We’ll look together at how these containers work in practice, beginning with what has landed well in your own teaching and the learnings you’ve already carried forward.

We’ll start with a brief cyclic sighing practice, then move into small groups and return to the full circle. Expect conversation rather than lecture: real examples from the room, a few simple lenses for thinking about format, and space to notice which containers resonate with you and which don’t. In the second part of the hour, you and a partner will draft one offering you could imagine teaching: who it’s for, what transformation you’re inviting, and why that shape might fit.

The final thirty minutes are for sharing sketches and open conversation. Bring a question, bring an idea, or come to listen. However you teach, and whatever modality you come from, there’s a place for you in this circle.
