Want to be a fearless leader?...Attend this retreat!

Who is this retreat for?

The focus is on YOU

As a leader, manager, 2IC or director, you juggle numerous responsibilities daily. You not only manage your own struggles, but you also carry the weight of others' challenges. 

Whether it’s managing the teams mental health concerns, dealing with personal requests from families, it can become overwhelming. Often, there’s no one there to catch you or hold you up when you need it most.


So, how do you cope with it all? 

How do you handle areas of your role you're not necessarily qualified for? You become a teacher, a mentor, a friend, a counsellor, and a leader – all at once.


We understand how difficult it can be to balance all these roles. That's why we invite you to join us on this retreat, designed specifically for leaders like you. 

Let us guide you through these challenges using the expertise of sector professionals and psychologists who can support you to navigate these challenges. 


This retreat will provide you with 

- the tools you need

- connect you with the right people, and 

- offer strategies to manage everyone else's struggles in a way that doesn’t leave you fearing you might say the wrong thing or appear unsupportive of your teams needs. Allow yourself to be a FEARLESS leader! 


Join us at this retreat to focus on YOU. Recharge, learn, and get the support you deserve.

August 15th & 16th!

Not long to go!

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.

Who will i see there?
