Come and relax, refuel, regenerate, refresh, restore…..This Retreat is open to Parents who are practising the Parenting by Connection Listening to Children Tools and having Listening Partnerships; Candidate Instructors, Certified Instructors, Master Class, and Intensive Class Participants.

 

You’ll -

 

• connect with other parents

• enjoy meeting together

• share Listening Time in pairs and groups

• release tension, freeing and relaxing your mind and body

• have some questions answered

• gain support

• appreciate other parents and BE APPRECIATED

• build your PbC community and gain a stronger sense of community

• generally relax, hang out and have fun.

 

You'll have time for YOU. Come and connect, or reconnect, with your community of Parenting by Connection buddies.

 

If you are also an instructor or certification candidate, also connect with other instructors and instructor candidates who are passionate about empowering other parents by teaching Parenting by Connection.

 

Bring any musical instruments you'd like to play for us on Saturday night after class, including your voice. Be ready to join in! 

 

Bring your bathers!  Interstaters and local people who don't visit the beaches often - we will be right on the Esplanade. If the weather is as it usually is at this time of the year, it will be splendiferous at the beach. Adelaide is situated on the Spencer Gulf, which means that the water is warmer than the open ocean and, by this time of year, is usually at it's best. Cooling, but not very cold. It's generally very flat with gentle, if any, waves. And, we will have breaks.

 

I’d love to connect with you there!  Check out some more photos from 2015 after the information on this page.
