About this Retreat

Details of this retreat

Why Conscious Blossoming?
Embark on a transformative journey with ConsciousLead experts, Dale Allen and Trevor Stevenson, and flower communication expert and nature intuitive, Jill Manson.

This isn't your typical retreat - it's a deep dive into the intersection of conscious leadership and nature's profound intelligence.

In a world where leadership often feels disconnected from nature and our own inner wisdom, Conscious Blossoming offers a radical reconnection. You need this retreat if:

You're tired of leadership approaches that ignore the power of connection and intuition
Traditional professional development leaves you feeling drained rather than inspired
You're seeking a fresh perspective on how to lead authentically in challenging times
You want to tap into a deeper well of creativity and resilience in your work and life
You are ready for a sense of relief and rejuvenation

What to Expect
Each day of the retreat is carefully crafted to balance introspection, learning, and practical application. Mornings often start with optional mindfulness practices in nature, followed by interactive workshops that blend ConsciousLead's frameworks with Jill's Flowerscape techniques. Afternoons include hands-on activities like flower arranging or nature walks, designed to deepen your connection to the natural world and your inner wisdom. Evenings offer time for reflection, sharing, and integration of the day's insights. You have access to the lake, the sauna, the yoga studio, the forest trails, gardens and the brilliant bouquet of autumn's grandeur!

The Science Behind the Retreat
▶ Recent studies in environmental psychology and neuroscience have shown that exposure to nature can reduce stress, improve cognitive function, and enhance creativity - all crucial elements of effective leadership. Our retreat combines these benefits with proven leadership development techniques, creating a synergistic effect that accelerates growth and insight.

▶ Research on embodied cognition suggests that physical experiences (like flower arranging) can concretize abstract concepts, making leadership principles more tangible and memorable. By integrating nature-based activities with leadership training, we're leveraging cutting-edge understanding of how the brain learns and adapts.
