Do you recognize this in your work?
You may care deeply about your work, but it increasingly comes at a cost to your energy and well-being.
- You feel responsible for more than is realistically sustainable
- It is difficult to switch off or step back, even when exhausted
- You want to keep giving, but feel your capacity is shrinking
- Boundaries feel unclear or difficult to maintain
- You are committed, but something is not working long-term
This workshop will help you find a way to continue your work without losing yourself in it.
What this workshop is really about:
In education and caregiving professions, burnout is not simply about working too much.
It often comes from caring deeply in systems that place constant demands on your time, attention, and emotional capacity.
But stepping away is not always an option.
This workshop explores how to remain engaged in meaningful work while developing a more sustainable way of being within it.
You will look at burnout realistically, without simplifying or minimizing it, and begin to clarify what is truly yours to carry and what is not.
This workshop is for those who want to stay, but need a different way to do so.
Why this workshop matters
Teacher stress in Europe is not a small issue
