Retreat one will take place between April 7^th and April 10^th at the Venwoude Retreat Center nestled in the picturesque forsests of the Utrechtse Heuvelrug.

In this intensive retreat our four knowledgeable facilitators will be joined by an outstanding list of guest faculty including Peter Merry (Centre for Human Emergence (www.petermerry.org), the Netherlands), Freek van derPluijm (The Flexible Platform (www.flexibleplatform.org), the Netherlands), Barrett C. Brown (MetaIntegral Academy (www.metaintegral.com), USA), and master coach and facilitator Anne Caspari (Mindshift (www.integral-planning.org), Switzerland).

This retreat is a complete and transformative experience in and of itself and also forms the first part of the full three month intensive Conscious Leadership for Sustainability course. It offers a deep experiential dive into learning the application of cutting edge sustainability, personal development, and organizational development theories and tools.

Various customized learning paths will be offered involving a number of different approaches (all inspired by transformative education approaches), but all with a common theme of connecting our work to the broader trends emerging in the field of sustainability and leadership, and helping practitioners to communicate these ideas in the face of diverse worldviews. Participants in this module will additionally have the opportunity to complete a certification in Integral Theory through Core Integral.
