Welcome to Courage & Renewal – North Texas

   

Is this person the same on the inside as he or she appears to be on the outside? Children ask this about their parents, students about their teachers, employees about their supervisors, patients about their physicians and citizens about their political leaders. When the answer is yes, we relax, believing that we are in the presence of integrity and feeling secure enough to invest ourselves in the relationship and all that surrounds it.

- Parker J. Palmer

Have you ever noticed how fragile the connection is between your inner and outer lives?

Paperwork, procedures, pressure, and a constant parade of challenges slowly separate who you are from what you do. Then suddenly – after years in the classroom, pulpit or boardroom – you realize that your relationship to your work has changed.

At one time or another, each of us has needed to rediscover who we are in connection with the work we do in the world. That is the purpose of Courage & Renewal – North Texas. During the past decade, more than 5,000 North Texans have used our one-day and extended retreats to rekindle their passion for work and the commitment to serve. Our offerings enable participants to work with greater integrity – and to live fuller and richer lives.

We offer Circles of Trust®, programs of personal and professional renewal developed by renowned writer, educator and speaker, Parker J. Palmer and the National Center for Courage & Renewal, the national organization of which Courage & Renewal – North Texas is a local affiliate.  Our programs are guided by facilitators who have been prepared by the national Center.

Courage & Renewal – North Texas is a 501©3 non profit organization and accepts Charitable Donations to further our work.
