🌸 WHY CONSCIOUS BLOSSOMING:Embark on a transformative journey with ConsciousLead experts, Dale Allen and Trevor Stevenson, and flower communication expert and nature intuitive, Jill Manson.
This isn't your typical retreat—it's a deep dive into the intersection of conscious leadership and nature's profound intelligence.
In a world where leadership often feels disconnected from nature and our own inner wisdom, Conscious Blossoming offers a radical reconnection.
🧠 YOU NEED THIS RETREAT IF:
▶ You're tired of leadership approaches that ignore the power of connection and intuition
▶ Traditional professional development leaves you feeling drained rather than inspired
▶ You're seeking a fresh perspective on how to lead authentically in challenging times
▶ You want to tap into a deeper well of creativity and resilience in your work and life
▶ You are ready for a sense of relief and rejuvenation
⭐ WHAT SETS THIS RETREAT APART:
▶ Flowerscape Leadership Integration: Experience how Jill's flower and nature communication techniques can give greater insights and applicable tools to your approach to self-awareness and decision-making.
▶ Nature-Inspired Conflict Resolution: Learn to navigate challenging conversations using metaphors from the natural world.
▶ Botanical Emotional Intelligence: Develop your EQ through hands-on work with flowers and plants, guided by Jill's expertise.
▶ ConsciousLead's Eco-System Thinking: Understand organizational dynamics through the lens of natural ecosystems.
▶ Mindful Flower Arranging: Practice presence and intentionality while creating beautiful arrangements that reflect your inner state.
🤔 WHAT TO EXPECT:
Each day of the retreat is carefully crafted to balance introspection, learning, and practical application. Mornings often start with optional mindfulness practices in nature, followed by interactive workshops that blend ConsciousLead's frameworks with Jill's Flowerscape techniques. Afternoons include hands-on activities like flower arranging or nature walks, designed to deepen your connection to the natural world and your inner wisdom. Evenings offer time for reflection, sharing, and integration of the day's insights. You have access to the lake, the sauna, the yoga studio, the forest trails, gardens and the brilliant bouquet of autumn's grandeur!
🍃 THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE RETREAT:
▶ Recent studies in environmental psychology and neuroscience have shown that exposure to nature can reduce stress, improve cognitive function, and enhance creativity - all crucial elements of effective leadership. Our retreat combines these benefits with proven leadership development techniques, creating a synergistic effect that accelerates growth and insight.
▶ Research on embodied cognition suggests that physical experiences (like flower arranging) can concretize abstract concepts, making leadership principles more tangible and memorable. By integrating nature-based activities with leadership training, we're leveraging cutting-edge understanding of how the brain learns and adapts.
❤️ WHAT YOU'LL TAKE AWAY:
This retreat isn't just about learning new skills—it's about fundamentally shifting how you perceive leadership, nature, and your own potential. You'll leave with a profound sense of connection and a practical toolkit for leading with the wisdom of nature as your guide.
▶ ConsciousLead's Eco-System Approach: Master our innovative framework for understanding personal triggers, team dynamics and organizational change through natural metaphors.
▶ Botanical Emotional Intelligence: Develop a nuanced understanding of emotions and communication, rooted in the subtle language of flowers and plants.
▶ Regenerative Leadership Practices: Learn how to lead in a way that nurtures both people and planet, inspired by nature's own regenerative cycles.
▶ Your Personal Leadership Bouquet: Create a tangible, beautiful representation of your leadership style and aspirations to inspire you long after the retreat ends.
▶ Nature's Leadership Toolkit: Learn to decode botanical wisdom and apply it to real-world leadership challenges. You'll never look at a flower the same way again.
▶ Flowerscape-Inspired Decision Making: Gain Jill's unique insights on how using flowers and other natural mineral or earth elements from the Botanical Kingdom can aid you to see or find alternative ways to make better aligned choices or responses to difficult situations in your personal and professional life.
▶ A Nature-Connected Network: Join a community of like-minded leaders who understand the power of blending conscious leadership with natural wisdom.
MEET YOUR GUIDES:
👩🏽Hi, I'm Dale,
My journey into leadership coaching began with a Master's Degree in Human Kinetics, but it didn't stop there. I've always been fascinated by the intricacies of human interaction, which led me to pursue certifications in Executive Coaching, Yoga, and Emotional Intelligence Testing. You see, I had witnessed too many toxic conversations in workplaces, and I knew there had to be a better way.
That's when I co-founded ConsciousLead. Now, I pour my heart and soul into guiding people towards better living and leadership.
My approach? It's a unique blend of academic knowledge and practical experience. I'm passionate about fostering healthy workplace relationships and preventing those toxic conversations that can derail even the best teams.
👨🏻Hi, I'm Trevor,
My story began with a decade of world travel. Picture this: a young man, backpack on his shoulders, setting off to explore the globe. Little did I know that this adventure would lead me to the root of my purpose and a deep understanding of what truly makes people happy.
Fast forward 20 years, and here I am, still on a journey, but now as a guide for others. As a father, poet, and co-founder of ConsciousLead, I bring fun, directness, and empathy to my coaching. My mission? To unravel human truths and foster growth and joy in leadership. Whether we're diving into conscious, results-oriented development or exploring the lessons I've learned from my travels, we're here to help you discover your own path to fulfilling leadership.
👱🏻♀️Hi, I'm Jill,
My story is a bit different—it's rooted in nature, quite literally. For 23 years, I've been immersed in the world of wellness and floristry, developing a deep, intuitive connection with the natural world. I'm an NLP Practitioner, but my true magic lies in what I call the Flowerscape approach. Imagine using the power of flowers to guide personal growth and leadership development. My spiritual bond with nature has led me to innovative ways of fostering personal and professional growth. Through my unique perspective, I bring a touch of magic to leadership development.
My journey in wellness and floristry has led me to some incredible connections, including my dear friends and collaborators, Dale and Trevor. You see, while they excel in understanding human dynamics and fostering healthy relationships, I bring a unique, nature-based perspective to the table. This retreat is a beautiful blend of our collective expertise - Dale's academic rigor, Trevor's worldly wisdom, and my intuitive connection with nature. Together, we're creating an environment where leadership growth is nurtured as organically as a flourishing garden. I'm excited to show you how the power of flowers can complement and enhance the conscious leadership techniques that Dale and Trevor have perfected over the years.
