We’re offering the same retreat twice—a mirror-image event conveniently hosted in two locations. That way, you can choose the date and place that works best for you!
Our sister retreat will be held on Saturday, November 15 at the Venice Golf and Country Club. We’ve also created a Facebook event for the Venice event.
This Restorative Retreat is open to all directors and teachers currently caring for infants, toddlers, and preschool children in Sarasota County. This event is rooted in the trail of trauma following recent hurricane seasons, compounded by the difficult daily stressors you, as early educators, carry in your work and lives.
This event will be “unplugged:”
❌ No PowerPoints
❌ No CEUs
❌ No Stress
It’s about giving you a space to pause, reflect, relax, and eat some really great food!
This FREE event will have limited seating.
Adults only- we kindly ask that children do not attend.
REGISTRATION REQUIRED.
You’ll need a ticket to enter. Registration opens mid-September.
Look For The Stars sites will enjoy exclusive early bird access, available for a short time with a set number of tickets.
Stay tuned for details on our speaker line up!
We’re excited to be able to offer this kind of event, because you deserve it. So often, you pour everything into your children—this is your moment to pour back into yourself.
