Who is the Retreat For?

We expect a spirited mixed group of business leaders, community and non-profit leaders, organisational development consultants, campaigners and coaches. You are concerned by the trajectory humanity is on and want to make a difference. You may be finding your path of influence or be a seasoned change agent who needs fresh focus in order to persevere. You know the power of nature as a place to reground, rejuvenate and gain clarity.

Outcomes By the end of the retreat you will have:

Clarity on your values and how to hold true to them wherever you work, wherever you are. A focused understanding of your purpose - what difference you are called to make and for whom. An experiential understanding of the dynamics of living systems, and how we can use these to accomplish our work. Enhanced ability to articulate your intentions with an inner authority, so you can be a powerful advocate and leader. A new network of like-minded colleagues/friends who are making/being change in the world. A sense of peace; we anticipate you will leave feeling refreshed, recharged and reconnected to all the things that matter.
