    Leadership Circles

    A Leadership Practice for the Times We Are In.

    Circles are a leadership practice ground to cultivate different ways of leading rooted in presence, inner knowing, and relationship, rather than performance or hustle.

    Leadership Circles offer space to pause, listen, and reconnect with your intentions, guided by natural cycles and held in community.

    You don’t need a title to attend. All genders and expressions welcome.

    Retreats

    Immersive, land‑based experiences that blend ritual, mutual witnessing, and nature’s wisdom. Designed to help you recalibrate, remember who you are, and reconnect with a community that both honours and holds you. Our retreats are intimate, seasonally rooted and intentionally small.

    Tailored Gatherings

    We work with organizations, teams, and communities to design and facilitate workshops, retreats, and gatherings that foster connection, reflection, and meaningful change.

    Each tailored experience is rooted in belonging, relationship, and community care. We shape every gathering around what’s needed most, whether that means rebuilding trust, realigning purpose, or reimagining how you come together.

    If you're looking to gather in a way that is deeply human, relational and impactful, we’d love to create it with you.

Every detail was considered before, during and after our time together and that attention allowed me to experience an intense and profound period of growth that I will build upon with intention and gratitude...thank you for holding a gentle, kind, wise, thoughtful space for us to connect."

  • "Genuine trust was established among the group fairly immediately and the discussions and connections that followed were open, honest and authentic. I learned a lot about myself, about group dynamics in leadership, and about the value of slowing down and making meaningful, lasting connections."
