EVENT: Staff Quiet Day

Set on a lovely bush block in Mundaring, the Quiet Day provides some space to 'be alone' in the company of other UWA academics with the intention of marking out some good quality thinking/reflection time.

There is no formal 'content' to the day (no butcher's paper). Rather we seek to create an environment of quiet, trust and collegiality in which things become clearer and creative new ideas can arise.

The Quiet Day builds on the end of year retreats which Michael Wood and Heather Deighan have been offering at UWA for several years with the support of UWA Teaching and Learning.

Previous participants have commented:

"this retreat provided a rare opportunity to quietly reflect on what's going on for me internally as a teacher, helped by excellent facilitators and a wonderful peaceful location"

"the benefits of this retreat to my personal and professional life have been immense"

The underpinning principles of the Quiet Day are based on the work of Parker J Palmer (The Courage to Teach), more of which can be found at:
