Join the ladies leadership retreat that is building the brave, authentic and empathetic leaders that business needs now.

Imagine a group of successful women - all forging their paths in the corporate world and all dealing with similar challenges - coming together to support, inspire, re-motivate and learn from one another. Imagine doing this on a program intentionally set against the backdrop of remote African Big 5 wilderness. 

This is exactly what you can expect when you join these retreats facilitated by industry stalwarts, Busisiwe Mathe (business leader and independent non-executive director) or Fatima Newman (chief risk officer and executive director). Lutz Otto (wilderness guide, integrative coach and consultant) co-facilitates this immersion with them.

​

“Expect to be taken into a space of authenticity, discovering who you truly are without the world’s comforts and titles.” Busi

“Expect to find a space of trust, support and mentorship and a place where together we build empathetic and compassionate leaders.” Fatima

​

What is it?

​

This program has been designed to fill the need for you to openly deal with the unique challenges you face in the complex ecology of your professional and personal life. We unpack topics including why self-worth trumps self-confidence, authenticity, imposter syndrome, moving from functional to multi-tiered leadership, the decency quotient, effectively channeling courage, corporate politics, the loneliness of leadership, patriarchy, stress and anxiety, burnout, integrating a big role into life and self-care. Intentionally set on the platform of a wilderness backpacking immersion, this five-day leadership program is unlike any other.

What will my days be like?

​

Each day will combine the experience of moving through raw wilderness with the work focused on your personal growth. The combination of individual reflection and group discussions, in the company of other women who share your daily struggles and hard-won victories, will enable significant insight and transformation.

​

In parallel specialist wilderness guides will make sure that your movements are not only safe, but filled with lessons about wildlife and bushcraft. Each night will see us establishing camp in a new place and conditions allowing, we will spend a night sleeping without a tent under the magnificent canopy of the southern stars.

​

The power in this program lies not in gaining more textbook knowledge, but in enabling you to access the deep wisdom that sits within the group and you. Fundamentally this is about enabling you to continue evolving the best version of yourself, for yourself.

​

How will it change me?

Through your participating in this intentional process, under the mentorship of Busi, Fatima and Lutz [who met on a Spirited Adventures retreat], you will come back more confident, refocused, reinspired, and with a range of new strategies for dealing with the next step in your journey. Post retreat support is available through our sister company Honeyguide Consulting.
