Welcome to Authentic Leadership & Communication


Awaken your

Inner Heroes

in Greece's Embrace


6-Day Personal Growth Training

In the oldest sanctuary of Greece


Being a leader, it is important that you pay attention to your own growth processes.

After all, people are looking at you for direction, to make decisions and to inspire their personal or professional development.

 

Walk your personal Hero's Journey
Giving attention to your inner growth processes, allows you to deepen your self-awareness. Your uniqueness grows and so will the development of your authentic leadership. This is how you become a beacon of light for yourself and for colleagues.

 
Walking your journey towards authenticity is called The Hero's Journey (Joseph Campbell). As a leader, as a hero, you set out to discover new worlds where you will find inspiring talents.

 

Let your soul and personality co-operate
The ancient Greeks assumed that we have a soul and a personality. Our soul is naturally wise, gentle and forgiving. Our personality is, as it were, the coat we chose in this life to work out soul processes. For balance in your leadership, it is essential that you know how to let your soul and personality become friends in order to grow together.


Content
You will learn how to live your purpose as a leader from your core, firmly grounded.


A few topics we will be experiencing:

  • What is your purpose, soul mission, as a leader?
  • How do you become aware of signals that indicate it is time for change?
  • What is a healing movement for your leadership?
  • How can you deal with opposing forces in a nourishing way?
  • What insights can you receive from a specific, recurring dream that you cannot quite put your finger on yet?
  • Which soul desires require your attention in the coming year?

 

A special location

We are staying in a beautiful private villa in the Greek countryside, near the Aegean Sea, next to the oldest sanctuary in Greece: the Amfiareion (circa 400 BC).


Feel what you essentially stand for and bring the compassionate change in your organization that only you can initiate.


Join us now in this empowering retreat.
There are only a few rooms available.


Who is the retreat for?


This retreat is for conscious women and men who want to actively work on their blockages and take leadership in their lives and work from the core.


You:

  • Feel that you have 'something to do yourself' with challenging situations in your life
  • Are willing to look within to take control of your life and work (again)
  • Know that only you can initiate change by transcending your blockages and limiting patterns
  • Desire to come across as confident at work
  • Also want to look at your shadow sides (your shadow includes the parts of yourself that you are not so happy with and your hidden talents)
  • Have a can-do mentality and travel independently
  • Are looking forward to new contacts with fellow growers, warm people who want to develop just like you
  • Are open to a touch of magic


Is the retreat only for managers?

You do not have to be in a leadership position to sign up. This retreat teaches you how to listen to the signals of your core, to the whispers of your soul, so that you can take leadership of your life and start inspired change.

This retreat is not for you if you are looking for a wellness week. It is passionate work on your inner growth with sufficient space for integration and relaxation. In order to work as purely as possible, we drink little caffeine and no alcohol during the training week (until the last evening ;).

About Hélène van Oudheusden


How it started
To the outside world, everything was going well in my life. A job in television, a lease car, lots of travelling, social contacts and smart enough to find my way. And yet I wasn't happy. I tried to convince myself that I should be content but my body knew better and a burnout forced me to stand still and let go of everything in the year 2000.


How it changed
I started my inner journey to who I was in essence and what I deeply longed for. Connecting with my core was confronting, enlightening and above all liberating. I am still happy every day that I have the courage to face shadow parts and make crucial decisions in my private and personal life. 

Was it easy? No, certainly not, loneliness and sadness are part of personal growth.

Was it inspiring? Absolutely, for myself and in my coaching. 'I have been there' and I understand what you are going through.


How it is now
The result is that I feel free, creative and fearless in my leadership. With a healthy balance of male and female energy. I know how walking your own path will lead you to a sense of fulfillment you could not have imagined. So beautiful, loving and filled with inner peace. I sincerely wish you that same sacred space!


My home is in The Hague, The Netherlands and in Greece where I organize retreats on personal development in mythological settings. 


Ancient wisdom & Up-to-date tools

Ancient wisdom and state of the art principles from systemic work, shamanism and mythology form the foundation of teachings. From lightness and with humor I guide you on your way.

What participants say

Hélène is fantastic. She creates a relaxed, pleasant atmosphere and is passionate.


Hélène jumps into the unexpected, is a nice person to travel with and is an example in inner leadership. First because she organizes this trip but she also dares to think outside the box and has a fascinating personal story of her development as an inner leader.


Everything she says is a testament to taking inner leadership. Wow.

Hélène helps you to cross the threshold with her warm way of guidance.


I now dare to really look at my inner parts and hear my silent wishes. Hélène gave me the tools to walk my own leadership journey.

In new situations, often what is needed is a new story that can help supply a map for the new journey and a toehold when that journey feels like climbing up a steep and dangerous mountain.
