Center for Courage & RenewalPoetry as a source of reflection and dialogue is one of the many practices you’ll discover via the Center for Courage & Renewal a nonprofit founded by Parker J. Palmer, author of The Courage to Teach: Exploring the Inner Landscape of a Teacher’s Life (and other books).

The Center for Courage & Renewal sponsored many of the books on this website, including:  Teaching with Heart, Leading from Within, and Teaching with Fire. A significant portion of the royalties from the poetry books go to support programs at the Center.

More than books, the Center also offers professional development and personal renewal programs and a variety of inspiring resources for teachers and leaders.
