This past weekend, I had the privilege of guiding an incredible group of leaders through the Five Foundations of Inner Leadership retreat with Philipp Haese and Kirill Sivy.

Over three days, we worked with the Five Foundations as a practical framework to recognize, regulate, and cultivate inner leadership capacities. 

We meditated, journaled, listened, shared, reflected, debated… 

𝐎𝐩𝐞𝐧: What can we see if we opened up to what we avoid: a feeling inside or a perspective?

𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐝: How can we allow the world to be how it is and ourselves to be how we are? And trust we can respond to whatever we face?

𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐝: what happens if we connect while staying true to ourselves and curious about the other? With no agenda?

𝐃𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐝: How can we follow our inspiration rather than the “shoulds” and “musts”

𝐀𝐝𝐯𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠: How can we do what we do with 20% more joy? What would we change? 

The presence, curiosity, openness and positive energy from the group was amazing. We did let go of “musts” and “I have to get it right” and reconnected with what matters.

To Kirill and Philipp: it was such a pleasure!

To BRAFE SPACE: thanks so much for hosting us.

To the participants: thank you for your trust and openness. You made this retreat a transformative space.
