what you'll experience
(excerpts from participant testimonials)

"... the opportunity to connect with other likeminded individuals and the safe space to share and devote time for our personal and leadership development."

"... leadership learning. Relating the experience to my work. I really enjoyed Belbin and also getting my colleagues to assess me. Very revelatory."

"... open ended and not rigid following a really strong format. This enabled me to be more creative."

This retreat is for you if:

  • You want to align who you are as a person (your strengths, purpose, and values) with who you are in your professional life.

  • You want to take a pause to step back from everyday life and recharge your energy to focus on what is truly important for you. 

  • You believe that leadership is about making human connection, empowering others, and communicating what we stand for, not about position or authority.

Testimonial 1

“Nami has hit the modern day working target of matching leadership with self care. I learned so much about how improved wellness makes me a better leader. This course examines the challenges of the workplace with the reality of our modern day leadership demands. I’ve now got tools to manage both. Thank you!”

The Retreat Story

What to expect

Your learning journey begins the moment you walk into the retreat center, which is located in the middle of rice fields close to the sea. It is a gorgeous space with lots of open space and small nooks for reflection or simply for doing nothing. Every day, we'll start the day with setting an intention, and learning a core skill or framework, which we'll then explore throughout the day. This is far from the passive, classroom-based learning that is typical in most leadership training courses. It is active and joyful learning, because we learn by sharing our thoughts with each other, reflecting on what the concepts mean for us personally, and engaging with all our senses, not just with our mind. The facilitator will guide you through a combination of self-reflection exercises, small-group conversations, and other creative activities designed to deepen understanding and offer opportunities to practice the leadership skills. We will do journaling, draw, and make music. We will tell stories, listen to each other, and learn something new every day. We'll take a break for a healthy and delicious lunch. Eating well is important and will be one of the highlights of this retreat. In the afternoon, you will have unstructured time to participate in many of the wellness activities organized by the retreat center. Some of the options, such as a massage and yoga class, are already included in the retreat package, while others (such as a consultation with a traditional healer) can be arranged separately. The retreat is a cohort-based program that emphasizes co-listening and peer learning. Most participants will be meeting for the first time, so we'll take time to get to know and support each other. You will walk out of the retreat rested and refreshed, with a sense of purpose and direction, and with some practical tools in your toolbox for those "soft" skills that make all the difference-- active listening, managing emotions, creating psychological safety in teams, and handling stress. You'll have a supportive community of like-minded people who have been with you on your learning journey as a leader. You'll be energized by the beauty and special energy of the place that is Bali.
