AWEsome Wellbeing Educator Retreat -September

Our world needs educators who model compassion, mindfulness, and self-care for the health of our children: Educators who model wellbeing!

This is an invitation to all educators to attend a purposeful day of heart-centred nourishment and stillness.

The one-day retreat will give you the rare opportunity to place wellbeing at the forefront of your life in a safe and welcoming place surrounded by other educators. It will provide an opportunity to recognize wellbeing as a priority in both your professional and personal development.

Too often we sacrifice our own wellbeing for that of our students, our families, and all the expectations on us. It's time to give yourself permission for a day of nourishment. By practicing wellbeing in this format, we will learn strategies and tools to embody wellness as a means to maintain our mental health within our classroom and therefore model it for our students.

Lisa Baylis will facilitate a day of wellness that will invite joy, peace, and self-compassion to awaken the wellbeing in each of us.

Some of the highlights for the day include:

meditation practices

restorative yoga

journalling and reflecting

time to collaborate

quiet moments for yourself

a healthy lunch
