The total training time will be fifteen hours, so you will get an excellent depth of understanding. Your learning here can be taken back and shared with your teams. You will be provided with notes, tools and examples to help you take back and share.

The Resort
Last time we ran our resort, the feedback was overwhelmingly positive about this amazing resort. You will get to engage in free yoga, cooking demonstrations and use the pool. There are also optional extras that you can partake in, during the down time you have.
If you want to book a treatment, it is highly recommended. Last time they were a highlight, with people coming into afternoon sessions looking like they didn’t have a care in the world after their treatment. Treat yourself!

Content
Following is a list of subjects we will get through by the end of the retreat. There is no guarantee what order they get delivered in, purely because there will be a high level of interaction between you and me - we will work it out as we go.
I will always ensure we are keeping on track, and we will get all the learning covered. We will just do it in a respectful, organic way.
TOPICS: Sequential Development; Impact of early trauma; In-utero development and potential impacts; stress response activations (eg. fight, flight, freeze); impact for brains that filter differently (ie. neurodiversity, sensitisation, tauma); impact on our own health and wellbeing; co-regulation; resilience; adolescent brain changes - and whatever else comes up during discussions.
