Are you ready to retreat with me in April 2024
at Brentwood Bay Resort in Victoria, BC
on the traditional and ancestral land of the W̱SÁNEĆ People.
LEADERS IN EDUCATION HAVE HELD OUR SYSTEM THROUGH A GLOBAL CHANGE
Are you exhausted, weary, and overwhelmed by the sheer intensity of your daily job?
You feel like you keep giving and giving with very little space for recovery
You struggle to find the time to prioritize your well-being because you're putting others and your job first
You can't seem to achieve a sense of ease in your day to day life
You keep getting stuck with negative thought patterns, perfectionist thinking and limiting beliefs
You don't know how to slow down and create the fierce compassion you need in your life
I KNOW YOU ARE READY TO PRIORITIZE YOURSELF!
This weekend is a guaranteed reset for yourself, your intentions, your values, and your future.
The AWE Leaders retreat includes inner “fierce compassion” leadership work, mindfulness practices, movement, journalling, connecting, and intention setting around leadership values while discovering how to do the difficult parts of leadership in a human and kind way.
JOIN US FOR 3 EXCLUSIVE DAYS OF EASE, NOURISHMENT, AND REFLECTION
AWE for LEADERS is a necessary retreat designed to prioritize the educational leaders who have held our community over the last several years.
The AWE retreat will support Leaders in understanding, experiencing, and feeling, both tender and fierce, compassion as a way of showing up to do the most challenging work in schools. This retreat will give leaders tools and practices they can use to support themselves, their colleagues, and the community in and out of school.
