You Can't Pour from an Empty Cup: Burnout, Boundaries, and Coming Back to Yourself
This session is for teachers who are exhausted in a way that a weekend can't fix. Erin covers the real science of burnout, why teachers carry more secondary trauma than most people realize, and what to actually do about it. You'll leave with tools for nervous system regulation, practical strategies for setting boundaries, and ways to survive classroom violence without losing yourself. Practical and honest.
Muskoka Puppy Yoga is not what you think it is. Yes, there are puppies, but the experience is built on the science of co-regulation, the biological process where one nervous system helps calm another. Participants move through gentle breathwork and yoga while puppies roam freely, and the result is something most people haven't felt in a long time: their body actually relaxing. It's joyful, it's restorative, and it's a powerful way to experience what nervous system regulation actually feels like in your body.
