We are verbs Study Club
a free/donation-based educator community reimagining education for a regenerative future.
Open to any educator and hosted on our community, We are Verbs. We're using the energy of springtime to explore our creativity through this gem of a book.
Grab a copy from your local bookseller or library and join us to discuss the book three times, once in March, April, and May. Come to all three meetings or just one. The book is organized in an easy way where the chapters can be read independently.
It's free! We do this as a way to get educators talking to each other about things that really matter. :)
To find out more or join the discussion asynchronously on the platform, join We Are Verbs for free.

"Both Sarah and Jess are amazing at delivering/teaching all the concepts and practices. Your voices are calming and your timing and delivery are exceptional.
- Blanca B., educator, whittier city, CA
I was able to learn from Sarah and Jess, two very grounded, intelligent and kind women. My participation and experience in this program will guide my daily practices when it relates to myself, the community and nature as a woman, a mother, a partner and as an educator."
"Sarah and Jess blew me away with the ridiculous quantity of research and scientific knowledge that supports every aspect of this learning framework.
They are living proof that these practices open up the energy to get shit done, The tools embedded into the workshop make it realistic to actually put these ideas into practice. Utter respect."
