This intensive retreat has been designed around the most effective practices to support vertical leadership development that we have learned over many years of focus on this topic.  (Advocates for vertical leadership development include Harvard Business Review,  The Center for Creative Leadership, and Forbes.)

Our experience is that if you want to become a better leader in and of your own life, then the most effective approach is through a process that is embodied, experiential, interactive and social.

You can expect this retreat to be more like a (psychological) workout, than a school course in which you are taught new ideas or concepts.  If you want to learn mental knowledge, you can read a book.  Our intention is only peripherally to convey new knowledge.  The main focus of this work is on cultivating new inner skills and resources.

The structure and multiple processes of this retreat are based on many influences, notably including the field of Integral Psychology and the practice of Action Inquiry.

This retreat will take you and the rest of your cohort on an embodied journey across the spectrum of adult development. Your journey will be highly experiential, and will include learning on somatic, emotional, mental and awareness levels. You will be supported and challenged to be with everything that arises, as well as to trust more in the intelligence of your body and your heart so that they can be better integrated with your rational mind.

This retreat will be led by Jesse Mckay.

My commitment to you - should you decide to join us - is that you will leave with grounded ideas and practices to support you on the journey of psychological development that is the rest of your life.
