Burnt Toast & Big Feelings 2026

Burnt Toast & Big Feelings is not your typical professional development event.

This is a space for educators to slow down, reconnect, and remember that they matter too.

This year’s theme is Reclaim.

For some educators, reclaiming means joy. For others, it means rest, confidence, balance, boundaries, creativity, purpose, identity, or simply finding their way back to themselves.

Through brunch, honest conversation, reflection, storytelling, community, and inspiration, this event is designed to help educators begin the school year feeling more grounded, empowered, connected, and less alone.

Expect good food, meaningful conversation, moments that make you laugh, moments that make you reflect, and reminders that you are not doing this work alone.
