We can’t lecture people into healing — but we can show them how it’s done. Soil, Soul & Society is a 6-month, prevention-focused programme for 20 mid-career teachers showing early signs of burnout. Through a 7-day sabbatical in a regenerative eco-community, they reconnect with nature (Soil), reflect on purpose (Soul), and prepare ripple actions in schools (Society).

Grounded in science and VolTra’s 16+ years of experience, it builds resilience before crisis hits. Unlike luxury retreats, teachers give back through eco-projects while healing. Back home, they model wellbeing in classrooms—shifting peer culture, student care, and emotional resilience from within.
