Be honest

You know the feeling.

It's Term 1. You started the year with good intentions.

Then the marking piled up. The emails didn't stop. Somebody needed you at lunch. Again.

By March, you're running on empty and you haven't even reached the hard part of the year.

You don't need another PL day.You don't need another list of self-care tips.

You need to step out of it completely. Just for a moment. Long enough to remember why you started, and to decide how this year is going to go.

The invitation

Two nights on a private estate with 16 teachers who get it.

No marking.No planning.No playground duty.

Just space to breathe, move, rest and reset.

You'll leave with clear intentions, firm boundaries and a plan for a teaching year you can actually sustain.

What you'll do

A weekend with a purpose

01

Recalibrate

Take an honest look at where your time and energy are really going. Name what's draining you and what still lights you up. Then set clear intentions to tackle the year ahead.

02

Reconnect

Connect with the purpose and passion that brought you into teaching. Spend real time with teachers who truly get the highs and lows of the job. Leave feeling reignited, not just rested.

03

Reset

Build the boundaries that protect your evenings, weekends and energy. Practise the words for saying no without the guilt. Walk out with a sustainable teaching plan you can start using on Monday.

04

Restore

Ice baths to wake you up. Sauna and hot tub to let it all go. Guided movement, bushwalks and nights by the firepit. Two full nights where no one needs anything from you.

The place

Glen Eden Estate in the Hunter Valley is ours, exclusively, for the weekend.

Cosy cabins. A full wellness hub with ice bath, infrared sauna and gym. A hot tub. A mineral pool. A dam with a jetty to sit on with your morning coffee.

No other guests. No noise. Just us.

Ice, heat and stillness

Start the morning with an ice bath. Let it all go in the infrared sauna. End the day in the hot tub under the stars.

Who it's for

This is for you ifโ€ฆ

โœ“You're answering parent emails on the couch at 9pm, with marking still in your bag
โœ“You eat lunch standing up, if you get to eat lunch at all
โœ“Sunday afternoons feel heavy because Monday is already in your head
โœ“You love the kids and you love the job. You just don't love how tired you are by Week 8
โœ“You can't remember the last time someone looked after you
โœ“You want this year to feel different, and you're ready to do something about it

You don't need to be fit. You don't need to have done an ice bath. You just need to turn up.

Kell Bell

Kell knows burnout from the inside.

After years of loving teaching and giving it everything, she reached the point where there was nothing left to give. Stepping out of the classroom gave her the space to rebuild.

Now she shares the tools and strategies she wished she'd had: the boundaries, systems and habits that let teachers keep doing the job they love without losing themselves to it.

With 22 years in education, as NSW HSC CAFS Supervisor of Marking and a presenter for over 15 years, she has supported more than 4,000 teachers and 8,000 students.

FAQ

Good questions

Can my school pay?

Yes. We can issue an invoice to your school. Some teachers use PL funds or wellbeing budgets.

Are rooms shared?

Yes, rooms are twin share. Coming with a friend? Let us know and we'll room you together.

Do I have to do the ice bath?

No. Everything is optional. You choose what feels right for you.

I have a health condition. Can I still come?

Please check with your GP before using the ice bath, sauna or hot tub. Let us know about any dietary or access needs when you book.

What if I can't make it after paying?

You can transfer your ticket to another teacher. This is a strictly non-refundable event. Please triple check your dates.

How do I get there?

Glen Eden Estate is at 587 Wollombi Road, Broke, in the Hunter Valley. Carpooling is encouraged and we'll connect attendees before the weekend.

You can keep waiting for a quieter term.

Or you can choose a weekend that changes how the rest of the year feels.

16 places. One weekend. A reset that you will carry back into your teaching across the school year.

See you in the Hunter.
