Workshop Facilitation Skills

Emotional Resilience

Ages 9-12

We deliver emotional resilience workshops to primary school students.

We will teach you how to deliver these workshops and connect with this age group for the best results.

The 3 Rs

Ages 12-15

We have created workshops specifically for this age group on Respect, being Real and Resilience.

These workshops were designed based on our experience with students in schools and also from feedback from teachers and parents.

The 6 Cs

Ages 15-18

We have created workshops specifically for this age group on Connection and Consent, Compassion and Creativity, Courage and Confidence.

These are the skills we believe are most important for life beyond school.

Teacher Wellness Workshops

The Retreat

Bru Moytura is a 100-foot-wide wooden retreat centre in the foothills of rural Sligo. The 'brugh' stems from the Irish notion of a hosting place.

4 nights food & accommodation

All accommodation and food will be included in the price of your training
The retreat space has a mixture of dorm rooms and small interior pods.
We will provide 3 healthy meals a day with vegan and vegetarian food options available.

Great circular hall

The training will take place in this great circular hall. In this space we get to practice our storytelling, wellbeing exercises, mentoring circles and nervous system practices.
We will also have morning meditation and yoga, giving you time to connect with yourself before entering the group container.

Sacred site visits

We will be taking some time out during the training to connect with the land around Sligo and visit some of the ancient sites.
Connecting with the land and nature is an important part of our wellbeing philosophy.

Be part of a community!

We will be taking time off in the evenings to sit around the fire sharing stories, playing music and singing songs.

After the programme finishes you will be part of an ongoing Wolf Academy community who will be there for continued support on your journey.
