At our Mindful Educator Summit, hear from our keynote speaker Dina Sabnani- The Joy Activator about how to Take Back Your Remote Control™: Care Deeply. Carry Less.

Educators are asked to care deeply, adapt constantly, and keep showing up, even when many of the pressures and expectations around them are outside their control. But caring deeply does not mean giving everything equal access to your energy.

In this lively, interactive closing keynote, Dina Sabnani will guide participants through her signature 4Rs: Realize, Reclaim, Regulate, and Ripple. Through movement, laughter, partner conversations, and practical micro-resets, participants will explore what is draining their energy, reclaim the choices within their control, and bring more presence and joy to their work.
