Embodied Leadership Retreat
May 25th and May 26th, 2024 The Hague, The Netherlands
The Embodied Leadership Retreat by Doors Open
Traditional leadership programmes focus on the brain, grounded in the belief that knowing how to lead is enough. Embodied leadership moves beyond that. It connects the intelligence of the body to the brain, driving actions for sustainable behavioural change.
Join us at the Embodied Leadership Retreat, a two-day immersive experience which aims at helping women to become their own personal leaders, taking off the mask they think they should wear, and acting in harmony with their true purpose and values.
What you’ll learn:
This Embodied Leadership retreat is not just a course on what you do and how you lead. It is also a journey to self-discovery about who you are. You will discover the power of embodied leadership and will learn how to act with authenticity, resilience and impact.
This retreat will help you to:
- Understand better the body and the mind, unlocking new perspectives on various aspects of personal and professional life.
- Explore skills for better self-care, which entail how to be more effective under stress, how to navigate terrorising thoughts, and how to say “no”.
- Have effective conversations through taking an explorative rather than directive approach, learning how to pause your judgements, and establishing a meaningful connection.
After this retreat you will be able to:
Build genuine connections with the people around you
Take confident decisions, voice your opinion and take up space, even in high-pressure situations
Set clear boundaries and stay true to your commitments
What sets us apart:
This retreat offers a unique blend of experiential learning, expert guidance, and self-discovery that traditional courses simply can’t match, as they focus solely on theory and cognitive knowledge. The Embodied Leadership Retreat offers you somatic practices, and cutting-edge leadership strategies that connect your mind, body, and spirit. By physically experiencing situations, you’ll approach them with more confidence and will be able to skilfully guide your thoughts, emotions, and behaviour in a calm and collected way.
