Do you feel that you’re constantly juggling high pressure, self-doubt, and the need to prove yourself? Do you often hear yourself saying ‘yes’ to things when in fact you want to say no?

“A transformative experience that I highly recommend. Learning to trust the wisdom of the body and listen to what the heart is telling you has completely changed my approach to leadership. It gave me a new language to tap into and has deepened my self-awareness in ways I didn’t expect.”
– Marion Mulder, Embodied Leadership participant in 2025

What sets us apart:
This Focus Lab 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 Focus Lab offers you somatic practices, and cutting-edge leadership strategies that connect your mind, body, and spirit, based on insights from evolutionary biology, neuroscience and the Japanese martial art Aikido. 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.
Instead of thinking our way into different behaviours, in this Focus Lab we act ourselves into new ways of feeling and understanding by using our body’s intelligence.
“One of my key takeaways was realizing how much we store in our bodies. By becoming more aware and learning to listen, I can now respond to my environment more consciously and responsibly. The body’s wisdom is powerful.”
– Riim Lagerswerf, Embodied Leadership participant in 2025
