Join us in this uplifting workshop

Cultivating self-compassion as the foundation for sustainable leadership and change

​

October 13th | 10:00–17:00 CET

Location: Stockholm (nature-based)

​

In this nature-based pre-summit workshop, we’ll explore self-compassion as a powerful inner resource for leadership and systemic change. Rooted in neuroscience and the Inner Development Goals (IDGs), this immersive experience offers embodied practices to cultivate presence, courage, and inner clarity.

 

Together, we’ll build the emotional resilience and relational trust needed to lead authentically in times of uncertainty—bridging inner and outer transformation through the heart of compassion.
