Overview
The retreat supports professional development across two dedicated days of learning. Whether you're new to the field or deeply experienced, the sessions are intentionally designed to offer practical tools and fresh insights in a supportive, non-judgemental environment. You'll explore topics such as documentation, nature play, reflective practice, behaviour guidance, and educator wellbeing — all delivered through a lens of connection, simplicity, and purpose.
Evenings invite connection and community, with gentle gatherings like “Sip & Share: What is Your Why?” where you'll reflect on the heart of your practice beneath the Bali sunset. There's no pressure — only possibilities. You can rise for morning yoga, journal by the sea, or spend quiet time by the pool. Every moment is yours to enjoy at your own pace. Whether you’re seeking inspiration, rest, new ideas, or simply the gift of time away from routine, this retreat offers the space to fill your cup so you can return home with renewed purpose, practical skills, and a whole lot of sunshine in your soul.
What Participants Will Learn:
Throughout the retreat, participants will engage in two full days of enriching professional development designed to deepen understanding, spark new ideas, and support practical growth in early childhood education. Educators will explore how to align everyday practice with the National Quality Framework, use intentional documentation strategies, and bring greater purpose and reflection to team practices. Sessions will also focus on how to create meaningful, inclusive environments, support creative play, and embed nature-based learning even in small or urban spaces. Participants will gain tools to strengthen relationships with children, guide behaviour through connection and empathy, and develop a personalised wellbeing plan to prevent burnout and sustain joy in the profession. Culturally respectful approaches, leadership support strategies, and real-world examples will ensure each session is grounded, inspiring, and relevant. You'll leave not only with refreshed energy but also with practical, usable tools to enhance your teaching and leadership back home.
