When was the last time you took time for you? Without guilt or feeling like you will be judged? Here's a sneak peek of our 3-day retreat for weary health care professionals. Nestled in the beautiful Blue Mountains West of Sydney, Lilianfels is the perfect place to rejuvenate, rest, and reconnect with like-minded individuals. As a health care practitioner, you understand the importance of taking care of others, but it's equally important to take care of yourself. We know that the demands of your work can be overwhelming and that you often don't have time to recharge and reconnect with others in your field. That's why we've created this retreat, specifically designed for health care practitioners like you. This retreat is designed specifically for health care professionals who have been working tirelessly since the pandemic began. (Yeah, we get that it's been longer than since 2020 but can we even remember those 'olden days before the pandemic?). We understand the unique challenges you face and we're here to support you. We get the challenges because we are living this too. Our challenges in working out how to be an ambitious health business leader who is committed to providing quality care, in the midst of an ever changing social and economic landscape have taught us some very important lessons about how we need to revisit our relationship with our work. We want to share this with you. More details here: https://bit.ly/vljmaprilretreat
We retreat so we do not retreat … Feeling weary from the year… so we retreat to ensure we do not PERMANENTLY retreat From the mistakes we make From the difficult choices before us From challenges we think we cannot meet We retreat for a period so we do not cave in and retreat forever and deprive our clients, our team, or family and loved ones from the rested and bestest version of ourselves. Jo Muirhead and I would love to see you at our healthcare professionals retreat April 27 to 29th. Details here: https://bit.ly/vljmaprilretreat #rest #healthcare #workplacewellness
