How to Rest: A Retreat for Heart-Centered Leaders

Heart-centered leadership means supporting the growth and well-being of your people while simultaneously holding the larger vision or goals of your work. It is no small task. Without regular opportunities to rest and regulate, it’s easy to tip into symptoms of burnout: physical or emotional exhaustion, detachment from the work or from others, being easily overwhelmed by daily demands, or feeling less effective in your role. The most effective leadership begins by attending to your own nervous system and one of the best ways to do this is through intentional rest.
