Back to the Land: Rewilding for Women Leaders Weekends

Rewilding for Women Leaders is a concept that draws from the principles of rewilding, which is an ecological approach and rituals of rewilding integrates the spiritual and ancestral ways of knowing how to connect with nature and how to thrive. When applied to leadership, rewilding for leaders involves adopting a mindset and practices that reconnect individuals with their innate leadership capabilities, authenticity, and creativity, often by ritualizing and drawing inspiration from natural systems and processes. Rewilding for leaders offers a holistic approach to leadership development that collaborates with and draws from the wisdom of nature, promoting greater resilience, adaptability, and authenticity in leaders and their organizations.
