Teaching by being: THE foundation for teaching with strength and love.

‘When one person teaches, there are two who learn. 

It gives you a different view of the teacher–pupil relationship.’

- Hilde Van Bulck

Start the school year relaxed with Teaching by being

Dear teacher,

You know that teaching is a rich experience for yourself. 

You know that your connection with yourself is an inspiring experience for your pupils. 

You know that when your attention is fully in the here and now, you have time to spare in your lessons. 

You know that being well in touch with your own body gives pupils the safety they need to learn. 

You know that working from a place of equality increases your pupils' capacity to learn. 

You know that being connected with your own heart opens up your pupils' capacity to learn. 

You know that your easy, flowing breath carries pupils beyond their fear. 

You know that surrender increases the playfulness and creativity of your lessons. 

You know that your authenticity makes pupils love you, and so love themselves.

You know that relating to your pupils without any judgement gives them wings. 

And if you don't know this... there is Teaching by being. 

A word of explanation

We all like being around someone with a light, playful energy. Teachers like that inspire their classes. And a light-hearted class is a joy to teach. But how do you get there? It really isn't difficult.

Teaching by being is inspiring and motivating teaching from your total aware-ness. It is a training in which you learn to teach with both feet firmly on the ground and to apply the Wheel of Being. The practical, ready-to-use exercises show you how to boost your pupils' motivation to learn and how to keep your communication free from unwanted disruption. This down-to-earth approach sharpens your perception and your creative intelligence, so that you are better able to guide each pupil in the right way. Your self-confidence as a teacher grows too, and your relationships with colleagues get an inspiring boost. By drawing on your own inner wisdom, you grow into a happy teacher who inspires others. Would you like to know the secret of drawing on your own wisdom as a teacher? Would you like to achieve results like the ones described in the book De eigenwijze kikker, or even better?

Who is it for?

For primary and secondary teachers and for student teachers. 

For everyone who…

• Wants to switch on the light in education.
• Wants to let the light in children and young people shine.
• Wants to be a light-sharing adult for their pupils.
• Wants to pass on the joy of living as part of the curriculum.
• Wants to move forward with confidence and playfulness.
• Wants to achieve better results with less effort.

What you can expect

A two-day training that gives you a head start at the beginning of the school year. We let our heads rest and explore how we can teach from body awareness. We learn what impact our inner state has on how well a class works together. We integrate the eight axes of the Wheel of Being within ourselves to strengthen our inner sense of safety, to learn to set our boundaries and to teach from a loving heart. Your firm grounding offers your pupils safety, an essential condition for a good learning process.

‘Pupils are the most finely tuned barometers you can imagine. They pick up every cloud, every raindrop, every storm, every area of high or low pressure in the emotional weather of the adults around them.’

- Hilde Van Bulck

Did you know...?

• That all my talks, workshops, transformation programmes and systemic constellations can be applied at every level of a school: for new or seasoned teachers, for new or seasoned head teachers, for new or seasoned (pastoral care) coordinators, ...?

• That my work is always tailored to the group taking part?

• That I draw on a wealth of experience in education?

• That I have tested everything I teach in practice? 

• That many education professionals have gone before you and have put what they learned into practice?

• That I want to help make education lighter?

• That you are always welcome to have an exploratory conversation, with no obligation, about a programme in your school? 

To this very day

• The tips Hilde gave me when I was still teaching helped me enormously. More than that: putting them into practice was life-changing for me. Thanks to Hilde, I was able to make a deep connection with my pupils. A connection that brought calm and depth, both for the pupils and for me. I now carry these tips with me in my professional career in the B2B sector, and every day they help me to come from a place of calm and space, and to have conversations with my clients that get to the heart of the matter. A huge thank you, Hilde. Meeting you has inspired me to this day. (Sarah Vandewoude - Managing lady at Creactiv)
