Village Live
Mundekulla Retreat Centre 26-29 September 2024
A four day immersive experience designed to spark your zest for life & work
“Just as ripples spread out when a single pebble is dropped into water, the actions of individuals can have far-reaching effect.”
— Dalai Lama
What is Village Live?
An immersive and held learning experience of inner development for outer change for curious minds and courageous explorers.
It is a beautiful physical space where you reconnect with yourself, others and nature, to gain new perspectives and experiences.
Village Live is playful & profound, individual & collective, introspective & co-creative, science & art, and the path we explore will emerge as we put one foot in front of the other.
Who is it for?
What unifies us is our curiosity towards inner growth, our commitment to making this place better together and a yearning to get from vision to action.
What to expect?
As a participant of Village Live you can expect a growth journey where you are one of the co-creators. The experience is highly participatory, meaning that the journey unfolds where curiosity goes. Village Live is an emergent space of new perspectives and insights. We, as facilitators, will take responsibility to keep “just enough structure” to allow for self-organization and emergence to happen.
What might emerge?
Greet the day with yoga and breathwork.
Let your voices fill the sanctuary with harmonies and melodies together..
Connect to earth with a morning run in the lushing Swedish forest.
What sparks curiosity in you?
“The hand is the window to the mind”- transformational writing.
Inspire and be inspired in story circles around
the sparkling night bonfire.
Practice 100% presence with embodied work.
Art by nature in the Eco-tower.
Explore how Inner Development Goals could serve as a framework for organizational development.
Develop your ability to embrace ambiguity, dance with uncertainty and lead change.
Deepen your leadership consciousness through peer coaching.
