A brave space for change. 7-11 May, 2025.
Join us on an immersive professional and personal development program in the beautiful surroundings of Menang Country at NewFarm Denmark.
This unique development program is designed for you to reconnect with your inner compass, creativity and wellbeing under the guidance of an experienced, knowledgeable and warm facilitation team.
Program starts at 3pm sharp on Wednesday 7th May and finishes at 11am on Sunday 11th May.
Wellbeing and mindfulness sessions will be integrated throughout the program. Gain a useful toolkit that you can implement immediately into your life and work.
By tapping into the wisdom of natural cycles and seasons, we explore ways to support every phase of a project or idea through embodied learning.
Together, we’ll clarify your values based on past beliefs, current needs and future aspirations. We’ll look at how this shows up for you in your professional and personal spheres.
Take the time to consider what’s truly important to you and how it might inform your mission, your vocation and your profession.
We practice short daily writing sessions and playful craft sessions to build our capacity for imagination, reflection and mental agility.
In this powerful set of sessions, we map your support structures and resources to plan your next moves and discover frameworks for ideas generation, disruption and project realisation.
An opportunity for those interested in going deeper to use cyclic thinking to navigate change and build capacity for self-compassion.
Take a guided, soulful journey through the ancient Valley of the Giants. Enjoy the unique landscape, learn to identify local trees and take time to listen to and connect with our natural world.
Enjoy balancing and restorative yoga sessions throughout the program, with inclusive and fun sessions for all levels of fitness in NewFarm’s yoga space.
With decades of expertise across business, communications, project development and delivery, mental health, wellbeing, mindfulness and connection – we’re ready to challenge, support and inspire you. We bring our whole selves to both the development and delivery of our retreat program. Our facilitators stay onsite and bring an immersive, warm and inclusive dynamic to all of the sessions.
Some feedback about our facilitation team:
