    Leadership Circles

    Join the waitlist for the next circle!

    Leadership is changing. So are we.

    The times we are living through are asking something different of us—a way of leading that values relationship, care, and the courage to embrace our full humanity.

    Leadership Circles offer space to slow down, reflect, and explore what it means to lead with intention and integrity in a changing world.

    The future doesn’t need louder leaders. It needs braver, more connected ones.

  • Personal Leadership Journeys

    Leadership is evolving.

    As democratic, ecological, and technological systems shift us into unprecidented times, we need new ways to lead that center reflection, relationship, and integrity.

    Personal Leadership Journeys are leadership development reimagined. They are a curated, inquiry-based approach to exploring your own leadership practice through dialogue, embodiment, and creative exploration.

    Retreats

    Immersive, land‑based experiences that blend ritual, mutual witnessing, and nature’s wisdom. Designed to help you recalibrate, remember who you are, and reconnect with a community that both honours and holds you. Our retreats are intimate, seasonally rooted and intentionally small.

    Tailored Gatherings

    We work with organizations, teams, and communities to design and facilitate workshops, retreats, and gatherings that foster connection, reflection, and meaningful change.

    Each tailored experience is rooted in belonging, relationship, and community care. We shape every gathering around what’s needed most, whether that means rebuilding trust, realigning purpose, or reimagining how you come together.

    If you're looking to gather in a way that is deeply human, relational and impactful, we’d love to create it with you.

    Let's Talk

In your own words

  • "I was blown away by the experience"

  • "Cristin created a space where a group of strangers came together with trust, vulnerability and authenticity. Every detail was considered before, during and after our time together and that attention allowed me to experience an intense and profound period of growth that I will build upon with intention and gratitude...thank you for holding a gentle, kind, wise, thoughtful space for us to connect."

  • "Genuine trust was established among the group fairly immediately and the discussions and connections that followed were open, honest, and authentic. I learned a lot about myself, about group dynamics in leadership, and about the value of slowing down and making meaningful, lasting connections."
