A wellbeing retreat experience for teachers to allow you to reset, recharge and reconnect.

The last three years have added a great deal of complexity and uncertainty to our everyday lives.

This has compounded for those working in human services, particularly in the education setting.

This workshop is intended to allow you to take a breath - literally.

Take this time to connect to yourself, to what is important to you and to our natural world in the leafy and peaceful Adelaide Botanic Garden.

Our intention is to create the conditions that allow you to do this in meaningful, practical and safe ways.

Sean Lappin from Connected Self and Dana Shen have partnered to provide this wellbeing retreat experience developed specifically for teachers and educators.

Sean and Dana both have extensive experience in a range of human services contexts and have also studied and practiced mindfulness.

Dana is a First Nations Ngarrindjeri Chinese woman with certification in Mindfulness Meditation Teaching.

Sean brings a long history of supporting those within human services to care for their wellbeing, and reduce the impact of vicarious trauma, with certification with the Association of Nature and Forest Therapy.

This workshop will benefit anyone in the education space, including leadership looking for ways to support their staff.

Leave with simple and fun wellbeing tools to imbed in life inside and out of the classroom and into your work with children and young people.
