The Seasons of Leadership
Join us for a seasonal journey into the heart and soul of your leadership.
The world spins and the seasons turn through yearly cycles of growth, abundance, harvest and rest. As leaders, we are on our own seasonal journeys, continually growing as we navigate new challenges, support our teams, share successes, and hopefully reap the rewards of our seeding and nurturing. But we also need periods of rest and renewal.
During these quarterly, online evening retreats, we introduce you to the work of the Centre for Courage & Renewal. We share guided reflection and deep listening in a confidential group, and invite you to connect with your inner wisdom and re-commit to your passions and purpose. Using nature, music, art, poetry and more, we gently encourage you to reconnect with true self, sift and sort issues and find clarity. Our practices transfer beautifully into workplace, community and educational settings and many leaders find them invaluable when teaching, in meetings, and also in challenging situations. If you prefer a human approach to leading, this work will resonate deeply with you.
Courage & Renewal work offers time out in a confidential group, to think things through, share concerns and find solace and support.
Recent research cited in the Harvard Business Review states that reflection requires courage. We invite you to be courageous and
join one or all of our half day retreats to re-connect with the treasures that are always there, if only we dig.

"My experience of the Courage Renewal and Understanding programme was that I initially felt nervous about working with people I had never met, but I couldn’t have been further off the mark. Right from session one, it felt like I was in the company of friends. This has been an invaluable experience for me and one that will shape and impact my business and personal life. It was a voyage of discovery for me, and I loved every minute of it. Having the opportunity to have regular ‘me’ time felt like an actual luxury that I shouldn’t do without. The delivery and knowledge of the leaders was top rate and I can’t thank Wendy enough for inviting me to take part. THANK YOU. "

Through the resources of the Courage & Renewal approach, we help strengthen your capacity to show up in your relationships, workplaces, communities, and ecosystems rooted in your own integrity and with a deep bow to human dignity, inspire hope in those around you, and foster the relational trust and stamina we all need to transform institutions from the inside out.
