Dubai • January 17–18 2026 • Zaya Early Learning
Not a conference,
a reconnection.
This isn’t sit-and-listen. It’s step-out-and-feel.
A rare gathering for school leaders who know the way we lead has to change.
And that it starts with how we gather.
A space that shapes you
Hosted at Al-Fanar School, a soulful, Steiner-inspired sanctuary in Dubai, Interbeing is more than an event.
It’s a living, breathing invitation to reimagine leadership from the inside out.
No podiums. No PowerPoints.
Just conversation and connection.
Fuelled by imagination. Music.
Language. Story.
What you’ll experience
An extraordinary leadership experience built around aliveness:
Story circles in the open air
Creative workshops in sunlit spaces
Shared art walls, spontaneous music, and language
Coaching by the fire
Regional voices, delicious food, and traditions woven throughout
Conversations that change you and your leadership
New perspectives that shift how you see your work – and your place in it
A deeper sense of aliveness to bring back to your school, your way to lead, your life
Who this is for
Interbeing 2026 is for school leaders who:
- Crave space to slow down and reconnect to what matters
- Want to lead with presence, not pressure
- Believe education can be joyful, relational, and regenerative
- Are ready to be changed by place, people, and presence
Maybe you’re proud. Maybe you’re running on fumes. Maybe you’ve built something powerful, and now find yourself asking, “What next?”
This is space to answer that.
Who this is not for
Interbeing is not for those chasing tidy outcomes, inbox zero, or CPD points to add to a résumé.
It’s not about passive keynotes and polished slides.
It’s about showing up, letting go, and leaning into what’s real.
What you’ll take home
This weekend might change your career. It might change your life. You’ll return home with:
- A clearer sense of self and purpose
- Grounded practices for leading without burnout
- Tools for trust-building, dialogue, and presence
- A community that sees you and wants you to keep growing
- Energy, clarity, and courage to lead in a way that feels fully yours
Why now?
Because the world is shifting – and the way we lead must shift too. Because we need spaces that restore. Because leadership can be joyful, rooted, and real. Because cultural work begins with how we gather. Because there is a conversation in this place that only we can have.
This isn’t just two days in Dubai. It’s the way those two days ripple into how you lead, and how you live.
