The Holistic Leadership Circles - April 12 2025

The Holistic Leadership Circles offer a safe and supportive space for growth and learning to share experiences, and tools and practice core skills to succeed as a collaborator, team leader, entrepreneur, or community champion.

We invite you to take a pause from the speed that society and the culture of productivity impose on us to do the inner work to increase your impact.

Through group coaching, hands-on activities, and body-based practices, participants will work on inner obstacles to personal effectiveness and meaningful living to foster balance in different areas of life.

Guided by gender-based approaches, this program will provide empowering experiences and opportunities to increase self-confidence, influence, and connectedness, which are essential for succeeding as holistic leaders.
