The Social Developers’ Network
ANNUAL RETREAT
Hope, Reflection and Dangerous Ideas: Facing the Future in an Uncertain World
Join us on Yugambeh Country at the annual SDN Retreat - no hierarchy (whoever comes is meant to), no experts (we all are). We make our own agenda from the ideas you bring. Over four days we build trust, offer support and create insights.
Our spirit is one of connection, renewal, and shared strength as we gather to reflect and imagine new possibilities, led by us all. Be part of this convivial small group experience, gain strength through supportive social interaction and feel empowered for another year living in an increasingly uncertain world.
There will be free time, shared meals, and an outing. The venue is in the hinterland of the Gold Coast surrounded by rainforest and Springbrook National Park.
