“ COMPANIONSHIP ” WITH JOANNA LANCASTER
COMPANIONSHIP – TEACHERS INSPIRING TEACHERS
Saturday, March 28th, 3:00–6:00 PM
This is a space for teachers of all traditions, a circle of friendship and support where we can share our joys, insights, as well as the challenges and hardships of our roles.
We often read about the difficulties of teaching yoga on social media, yet we seldom gather as a community to discuss them openly. I have experienced the transformative power of “The Way of Council”, an ancient practice of sitting in a circle to tell our stories, share our heartbreaks and aches, and listen deeply. This method reveals truths, soothes pains, and fosters profound growth and insight, and I wish to bring it to our community.
This gathering is about connection, belonging, and togetherness. It is about seeing beyond differences in tradition, age, or experience, and creating a shared space of authenticity.
We will come together as equals, each speaking our truth and listening deeply. This is more than mentorship, it is about experiencing support that is felt, not explained, given, or taken for granted.
Reflection for the Circle
Where do you feel alone in your role as a teacher?
Burnout & Energetic Boundaries
Compassion fatigue
Over-giving / under-receiving
Holding space while personally struggling
Navigating exhaustion in a “wellness” profession
How to replenish without guilt
Money, Worth & Sustainability
Sliding scale vs. financial survival, donation-based?

RATE
I have chosen a sliding scale rather than a fixed fee. Depending on your means and the value you place on our shared time, I suggest a contribution between 40 and 80 CHF.
