A Nothing Missing Leadership Retreat
​at Windhorse Farm with Nick Matheson and Jim Drescher
- If the increasing instability and volatility in the world is affecting your family or your work,
- If you are reflecting on what kind of leadership is called for in this uncertain time,
- If you want to learn more about how to connect, care and powerfully engage in what has meaning for you,
Maybe you should be here at this retreat with other concerned and brilliant leaders.
.As we experience an increasingly volatile and uncertain world, new forms of leadership are being called forth to meet these challenges and develop new opportunities. A new paradigm that respects the wisdom of nature and nourishes people and planet is essential for us to thrive. We invite you to deepen your learning journey of Nothing Missing Leadership, exploring how to best express your inherent leadership capacity and strengthen organizational impact.

The natural environment of Windhorse Farm is a beautiful container for exploring these questions more deeply together. Immersion in nature sharpens awareness of regenerative solutions and opens new possibilities for action. Silence and solitude support discernment on the path forward. 
Within organizations, progress arises from creative insights, aligned choices, and coordinated actions. Learn how to use this powerful framework to find the path forward for yourself, your team and your organization.
This retreat invites inquiry into the nature of effective leadership, healthy businesses, and flourishing communities. Leading change in complex environments, requires new ways of thinking, acknowledgement of feeling, and consistently acting from a greater consciousness of whole systems. Connection and collaboration inspire new ways of seeing and reduce the stress of going it alone. The inner and outer practices of Nothing Missing Leadership will be woven throughout to deepen your practice and strengthen connection, caring and powerful engagement. This foundation is essential to thriving amidst the organizational practicalities and constraints faced in producing results and growing impact.
​​
The retreat will be ideally suited for leaders who recognize that greater awareness and wisdom are needed to address our current and future social challenges and who want to enhance resilience in themselves and their organizations.
