Cultivating the Mystery:
Leading When There's No Horizon
Unearth the leadership wisdom you already possess on a playful, communal journey of self-discovery and resilience.
Sign UpYou pour your heart into creating an engaged, supportive team or community. But staying aligned feels impossible these days.
The enormity of global crises - from pandemics and economic shocks to the surge of violence on social media - feels impossible to navigate. Amidst this, internal struggles like clashing personalities, differing perspectives, and unresolved tensions add to the strain. Structural oppression and "cancel culture" worries make every discussion a tightrope walk, reflecting the broader chaos of a world grappling with democratic instability and social injustice.
You dream of nurturing a space where everyone feels valued, where hard conversations strengthen bonds instead of severing them. But confusion and fatigue constantly threaten to derail your efforts.
Despite the chaos, life marches on. You have events to organize, dinner to make, people to inspire, and a mission to uphold. But the burden of holding it all together amidst this turmoil is palpable.
You deserve a thriving community aligned with your values. One that feels energizing, not draining. It's time for a better way forward, recognizing and confronting the complexities of our era with resilience and shared purpose.
Join us in North Carolina for a transformative journey at the Cultivating the Mystery retreat equipping leaders like you with the tools to navigate through uncertain times.
