Invite-only Beta | Limited to 25 Participants
Soul Force for the 21st Century offers educators a grounded, hopeful path forward. Learn more👇
Educators are teaching in a moment of profound disruption—socially, politically, technologically, and emotionally. Many are navigating polarized classrooms, dysregulated students, institutional pressure, and personal exhaustion, all while being asked to hold communities together with care and humanity.
Soul Force for the 21st Century is a 5-week cohort experience designed for educators who sense that after collapse comes rebuilding—and who want practical, science-backed tools to cultivate inner steadiness, moral imagination, and wise action in their classrooms and school communities.
Over five weeks, participants will read or listen to Breaking Bias and engage in daily contemplative and behavioral practices drawn from the book’s 130+ exercises and the PRISM framework. Each week, we gather live to reflect on lived experience, integrate neuroscience and pedagogy, and translate insight into classroom-ready practices.
This is not a doomsday course. It is grounded in joyful optimism, disciplined hope, and the spirit of satyagraha or soul force for our time, with a clear focus on supporting educators and students to flourish.
Who This Is For
This invite-only beta is designed for educators in our networks and communities, including:
K–12 teachers, counselors, administrators, and school leaders
College and university faculty and staff
Educators responsible for social-emotional learning, wellbeing, or professional development
DEI practitioners and bridge-builders seeking grounded, future-oriented tools
Educators wanting a meditation practice that they can adapt for students
This course is especially for educators who want to begin the year doing something genuinely nourishing for themselves—while gaining concrete skills they can confidently bring back to their classrooms in a thoughtful and supportive community.
The Challenge We’re Addressing
Many educators are carrying:
Fatigue from relentless news cycles of war, injustice, and polarization
Personal experiences of bias, exclusion, or moral injury
Digital overload and diminished attention
Classrooms filled with students whose nervous systems are still recovering from COVID-era disruption
While professional learning increasingly emphasizes social-emotional support, many educators lack:
A personal foundation of nervous-system regulation
A clear, science-based explanation for why these practices work
Practical, age-appropriate ways to bring them into classrooms
Without supportive structures, even the most dedicated educators can slip into reactivity, numbness, or burnout.
This course offers a different path: learning how to stay present, resourced, and humane—while equipping students to do the same.
What You’ll Gain
For Yourself
By the end of five weeks, participants will:
Establish or strengthen a regular meditation practice (5–10 minutes/day)
Build greater emotional steadiness and nervous-system regulation
Reduce reactivity and shame while increasing self-trust
Renew hope grounded in practice—not wishful thinking
Experience a felt sense of belonging and shared humanity
For Your Classroom & School Community
Educators will also:
Understand the neuroscience of bias, attention, and regulation, and how it impacts learning, behavior, and classroom climate
Learn to explain what’s happening in the brain in clear, student- and parent-friendly language
Be able to design lesson plans and practices grounded in the Breaking Bias framework
Build confidence teaching 1- 3 minute regulation and attention practices and meditations for students using age-appropriate language
Increase buy-in among colleagues, students, and families through shared language and scientific grounding
Certification
Participants who move through the full program—by engaging with the readings, practices, and weekly sessions—will be awarded a Certificate of Completion.

This cohort is designed as a trust-based learning community, where depth emerges through shared presence, continuity, and care. We strongly encourage participants to attend all five live sessions. At the same time, we recognize that educators carry full lives—and that sometimes, life happens.
