The Green Staff Room -Tools to Help Educators Rest and Restore


We know that working in education right now is really really hard. We honour and applaud the stamina, patience and commitment of teachers at all levels. We know you have dedicated your energy to supporting the young people you work with.


Join the What Colour is your Dragon Team for this well-being drop in. We use cutting edge brain insights to inform our playful and creative ways to help you rest and restore. We recognize that you need to Feed your Green Dragon (the brain system that helps you to rebalance when life is tough) and will share with you a variety of simple ways to do that.

There is no pressure, no stress, no demands made on you at all in this session. Just come and receive pure niceness. Take part as much or as little as you need to. Camera on or off. Mic on or off. Just be with us.

We use movement, massage, creativity and (if you wish) sharing in this psychologically safe space where it's ok to not be ok.

Our team consists of artists, educators, psychologists, mindfulness teachers and human beings with big hearts who want to share tools that we use ourselves and that we know really work.

We work with young people, schools, healthcare and corporate to offer brainwise tools to stay sane in this madness. Come and talk to us and let's see what we can do together to get green. Care for the Carers first and foremost. The science is clear, your well-being is what will open up the creativity needed to be an educator in today's environment.

In the short video below you can see a beautiful video collage from one of the teachers who took part in our Dragons Action Reflection Learning Group (DARLing) last year. She uses the Dragon Method to monitor and express her own emotions and is now bringing this in creative ways into the classroom. This is a blend of mindfulness, creativity, compassion and neuroscience suitable for all ages and settings. We give you the basics (which includes managing your own wellbeing with the tools) and can offer further training to help you integrate into your school.
