SCHEDULE
9:00AM: Inner Strength for Outer Impact
Begin your morning with breath, nature, and connection in a session led by Nicola King of Sustainable Ladies, featuring grounding somatic breathwork with Tawna Woods, a refreshing lake dip, warming teas, and shared kai. The experience flows into a heartfelt kōrero with psychology specialist Dr Rebecca Bloore and business strategist Lisa Thompson, who will explore how soft skills like empathy, intuition, and emotional intelligence are vital for sustainable leadership. Together, this morning invites you to slow down, tune in, and discover how the way we lead begins with how we show up in ourselves.
Join us for the optional add-on Dawn Sanctuary Sauna Session and really start your day right.
12:30PM: Lunch from Fox & Badger

5:00PM: Your Climate Wake-Up Call
As the climate crisis deepens, the conversation seems to be slipping from public consciousness. Extreme weather events, rising emissions, and biodiversity loss are accelerating, yet meaningful climate action remains sidelined. Are we falling asleep at the wheel? To truly shift systems, we need climate to be front and centre in our decisions, policies, classrooms, and culture.
