About this Event

SeatRefuel and Refresh: Finding JOY in Teaching is an intimate, in-person professional learning retreat designed for secondary educators who are ready to reconnect with purpose, sustainability, and instructional clarity.

Grounded in literacy, identity, and faith-informed reflection, this experience positions renewal as a leadership practice — not an afterthought.

Participants will engage in guided reflection, joy-centered literacy praxis, and practical strategies that support long-term effectiveness in high-demand educational environments.

This is not a sit-and-get session.

It is a carefully curated space to pause, breathe, recalibrate, and return to your work strengthened — with JOY at the center.

Capacity is intentionally limited to preserve depth, dialogue, and care.s are intentionally limited.


Come ready to build.
