Balancing Life and Leadership: Courage to Lead in Challenging Times

Early spring is a time of paradox. This liminal space between the dormancy of winter and the blossoming of spring offers opportunity to tend to the equilibrium of our lives and our leadership.

It is a season moving toward the balancing of light and dark, rest and activity, a time of tending to new sprouts and shedding what no longer serves.

This Courage to Lead® retreat provides the time and space for deep reflection, renewal, and the opportunity to:

• Engage in self reflection, invitational large and small group sharing, artistic expression, and other contemplative practices designed to support access to inner wisdom
• Build a trustworthy space for accessing and speaking our truths, and listening to the truths of others
• Explore our inner sources of leadership
• Develop skills for holding meaningful conversations and building relational trust
• Learn practices for holding the complexities we encounter in our personal and professional communities

Are you seeking to find balance in your life, and make changes to better serve who you want to be in the world and how you want to show up? We invite you to join us in this opportunity to pause and disconnect from the fast pace and distractions of daily life, and join other change-makers who dare to engage their work with presence and compassion.

This retreat is open to people from diverse fields and is designed to help participants renew their passion and enthusiasm and commitment toward their leadership and community. Past participants have included school-based educators and administrators, activists, writers, clergy, coaches, doulas, mental health practitioners, and leaders from nonprofit and corporate sectors. Leadership can also be reflected in the ways that we show up in the world through our professional, family, or community life.
