A reflective and regenerative space for doctors in leadership roles- or those stepping into them- to lead with clarity, courage, and care. The Whole Hearted Leadership retreat is designed for doctors who hold formal or informal leadership roles, as well as those exploring how to lead from within their teams, organisations, or communities. It supports participants to develop self-aware, values-aligned leadership that is both effective and sustainable. With a strong focus on embodied presence, relational integrity, and boundary setting, the retreat blends evidence-informed frameworks, such as Internal Family Systems, self-compassion theory, and adaptive leadership, with deep personal reflection. Participants explore how to lead in complex environments without losing connection to themselves or to those they serve. Expect honest conversations, meaningful connection with peers, and time to recharge away from the expectations of performance. This retreat is particularly valuable for mid-to-senior career doctors, clinical supervisors, educators, and anyone leading through change or challenge. More info here
