Growing your Leadership by growing your Robustness & Resilience

How are the bearings of my compass? How well can I hold on to my course? How stable am I on a slippery track? How much adversity can I deal with? When my legs burn, my breath screams? I have said yes and have the ambition to make it! But how robust and resilient am I? Will/do/can I stand the heat of the climb, the wetness of pouring rain?

Travel with us to the spectacular landscapes of the Moroccan High Atlas. Together we will embark on an inner and outdoor journey amidst the pristine desert mountains. In many ways, it feels as if little has changed here over the centuries. In this mountain range, which stretches from the Atlantic Ocean in western Morocco to the Algerian border in the east, a traditional existence is lived by the original inhabitants: the Berbers. Far away from busy Morocco, they have managed to preserve their ancient culture, language and simple life close to nature. We will participate in the traditional off-grid mountain life and set off on a discovery tour through the Atlas nature. Completely in Berber style, accompanied by a local mountain muleteer shepherd and his mules equipped with our own tented camp. Trekking along paths that the local population has walked for thousands of years, we might visit local mountain villages, drink a mint tea and enjoy impressive nature and special landscapes.

Meanwhile we help each other grow inner awareness because together and we will reflect upon ourselves, on who each of us is, or -better said- who we have become. We will support each other in asking ourselves profound questions: Why do I (not) do what I (not want) to do? How have I become who I am today? What are my critical life-experiences? How do they impact me? Do I still like who I am (which aspects yes, and which aspects no)? What about me is authentic and what is conditioned? How does it all show in my work-life and in my private-life? In the ambition I have, the inspiration I seek, the path I choose to take. This journey is geared to help reset your bearings and grow you inner awareness.

27 September – 3 October 2025

The theme of this journey is ‘Leadership Reset’. You are invited to reflect on your leadership and use nature as a metaphor and source of inspiration. We will be off the grid, away from known structures, away from home, from our bed, our shower, from our habits, away from the everyday entertainment. We leave telephones and watches behind – where we are is anyhow no reception (we’re connected to home by an emergency – satellite phone). Meanwhile we create a setting to let go of the issues of the day. We use the simplicity of the outdoors and the forces of nature as a driver for a reset. Every day will be filled with new insights from cruising the land, from challenging questions, from reflecting inside, from our continued discussions. Not your usual work week or ‘day-in-the-office’.

The most important entry requirement for this trip is a healthy body, an open attitude and a bit of character. The days can be intensive and physical. Not only do we move every day, we also run the outdoor camp together. Along the way things are simple and sometimes hard work. A day trip contains minimal 15 kilometers and can also increase in the number of altimeters. The altitude (up to 3000m) can also be of influence. But we do bring mules to carry our heavy gear. All and all, participation in this trip requires a good fitness level, but experience with (wild) camping not necessary. We guide you through this simple but rewarding experience and provide you with the skills necessary to move self sufficient and comfortably through the environment. Trust the process.

On participation we will do a twofold intake, whereby we will focus on your goal & intention and secondly the gear & preparations.
