Chris brings wellbeing to life through “EDU’TAINMENT” — a mix of learning, laughter, games, and real-world strategies that actually stick.
This full-day session for leaders goes beyond surface-level self-care. You’ll explore the Phoenix Cups® Framework — a simple, powerful way to understand your own needs and your team’s — while also unpacking that all-too-familiar inner critic.
Instead of trying to silence it, you’ll learn how to work with it, respond with intention, and lead with more clarity and confidence.
Expect movement, conversation, and practical tools you can use immediately — not a sit-and-listen session.
You’ll walk away feeling re-energised, more self-aware, and better equipped to lead in a way that actually lasts.
Day 2 - Julie Cross!

With 30+ years of experience (and deep roots in the ECEC sector), Julie knows how to walk into a room and completely shift the energy.
Forget the usual “quote and repeat” presentations.
Julie brings real stories, real emotion, and real impact — the kind that hits both your head and your heart.
She’s known for her raw honesty, powerful storytelling, and ability to get people out of their heads and into action. No fluff. No hiding. Just the kind of conversations that actually change how you show up as a leader.
Multi award-winning and backed by word-of-mouth demand, Julie doesn’t just inspire — she moves people.
You’ll laugh, reflect, feel a little uncomfortable (in a good way)… and leave ready to step up, own your space, and lead differently.
Why call it a retreat?
To retreat means to stand back or withdraw ...
At Haven Retreats, we believe professional learning should feel as rejuvenating as it is enriching. Our retreats offer more than just training—they provide a space to pause, step away from the daily rush, and immerse yourself in an environment designed for relaxation and reflection.
Here, there’s no pressure to sit in stiff chairs or dress in corporate wear. If you feel most at ease in your yoga pants or that perfectly worn-in, cosy jumper—go for it! If stretching or standing helps you absorb new ideas, we encourage it. And while we won’t break into Kum Ba Yah (unless you insist), we do have a fire pit—so if the mood strikes, feel free to gather around and unwind.
Come as you are, learn at your own pace, and leave feeling refreshed, inspired, and reconnected.
join us for luxury, fun & reflection!
