The COVID–19 pandemic of 2020 has provided individuals across the world with unprecedented experiences and challenges. This perspective piece demonstrates how following the foundational theories of adult learning allows adult educators to create a positive environment for learners in the middle of a crisis. Three self–care tips are examined briefly through the lens of adult learning. Implications for practice, including communities of practice, empowerment, and mindfulness, are discussed in context.
