Our Retreats

 The Institute offers single and multi-day professional development retreats for professional & support staff, as well as administrators, focusing on cultivating conversations about the factors that contribute to workplace stress, the significance of human connection, the impact of relational leadership through the use of storytelling and experiential place-based learning.

​

The objective(s) of the retreat are to: 

1. Discuss the words stress, love & human connection, and leadership and their impact within our lives 

2. Explore the lived experiences of individuals and groups to understand the connections and disconnections that may contribute to their current environment

3. Connect the current research and best practices focused on stress, love & human connection, and leadership to the lived experience of participants.

4. Create new ways of being in which participants move through their lives with purpose and resilience as they navigate the highs and lows with the understanding that living well means more than checking a box, it is about being present
