Creative Reset at Sea four-night wellbeing retreat for NDIS support workers

Why this exists

Care for the people who spend their days caring for others.

Support workers spend their days caring for other people. Creative Reset at Sea was created to give them space to pause, breathe, create and reconnect with themselves.

This is not another workplace training event. It is a genuine opportunity to rest, experience creativity without pressure, and connect with people who understand the emotional demands of support work.
