Join internationally renowned neuroscience educator Kathryn Berkett for four days of deep, engaging, and highly practical learning.

Kathryn will guide you through fifteen hours of interactive training that blends research, real-world application, and dynamic group discussion. You will have opportunities to reflect, ask questions, and dive deeper during breaks either one-on-one or with your peers.

You will walk away with a stronger understanding of how the brain works under stress, and how to apply this knowledge in your work and life. Notes, tools, and practical examples are all included to help you take what you learn and embed it within your team, workplace, or whānau.

This is more than professional development, it is a full-body, full-mind reset. The location is Lakeside Health & Wellness Resort Spa, on Lake Karapiro.
