Details of this retreat
Seven days on a beautiful cliff on an island, overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. You’ll be gently held, nourished and warmly facilitated with intention and experience.
We will cultivate ritual, community and collective intelligence to sense what is becoming; learning and unlearning together. Recharging. Contemplating. Discussing.
Designed for purpose-driven coaches, leaders, changemakers and visionary entrepreneurs, this retreat offers rare, intentional space to step back from the noise and drop into the deeper questions shaping your work and your world. As the world heaves, how do we live into the wisdoms and insights of our experiences? How do we adapt to deeper integrity?
Emerging from decades of work with leaders, coaches and people striving for positive change, this is a restorative and transformative experience. Led by a master practitioner, coach and facilitator, this is not just a pause, it’s a reset. You will emerge changed.
At the Quiet Edge of sea, sky and earth, where roots of culture, philosophies and politics live in ancient ruins and sacred groves, we are gathering in a gently facilitated group to re-source, nourish, question and recalibrate our intentions and impact.
This is an action, rooted in collective remembering and exploration.
An out-breath.
A deliberate, purposeful contribution.
A calling...

Schedule
Each day, we’ll explore what it means to lead and serve in uncertain times; to navigate complexity with clarity, and to shape a future-fit reality that holds both integrity and impact.
In support of your transformative journey, there will be wholesome, nurturing soul food; time to explore the islands; siesta time built into your transformation and tools for reflection and growth.
Through spacious dialogue, embodied practice, and grounded reflection, you’ll deepen your own capacity — not only to hold others, but to hold yourself in the work that truly matters. You'll be able to deepen into presence, power and relevance during these intensive times.
Introduced practices will build strength and intelligence for complex decision-making, adaptive innovation, leadership development and dancing disruption during uncertainty.
The working sessions will bring about personal shifts for each person, opening them up to seeing the world in a new way and acting differently within it. You are guaranteed renewed clarity, vitality and potent results.
