IMMERSIONS & RETREATS
Deliberate time away from the performance.
Not conferences, not training courses. Immersive, Heartstyles-based work that helps leaders remember the best of themselves and reimagine how they show up — in the bush, by the ocean, and back in the business.
Immerse YourselfTHE WORK
Immersive work for people who have mastered the outer world.
Our immersions are run with Baobab Connection, the partnership Marc co-leads with two globally experienced facilitators. Together we design deliberate time to set down the performance, meet the stories that shaped us, and reconnect with the inner world.
The work is Heartstyles-based: a rigorous, character-led approach that makes the patterns driving behaviour visible, then builds the maturity to choose differently.
This programme has been delivered in various formats across the globe since 2017, for hundreds of senior leaders and global executives.
TWO WAYS TO WORK WITH US
01
Open immersions
Small-group experiences in the wild for individuals who want time away from the performance. The Greater Kruger immersions run twice in 2027.
02
Organisational immersions
Designed with the executive team and delivered in-country, wherever the business is. The same arc, tuned to your strategy and culture.
GOLDEN THREADS
A handful of threads run through every immersion we run.
Stewardship
Raising the bar on what we believe we are responsible for — our people, our enterprises, and the systems we inherit.
Under pressure
Learning how we are triggered to behave under pressure, and the strength we do or do not have to pause and choose better.
Maturity
Locating where we actually operate developmentally, not where our title says we should.
GREATER KRUGER, 2027
Four nights at Sashwa, on the banks of the Olifants River.
Ten people, single rooms, three facilitators in the room throughout, alongside experienced field guides and wellness practitioners.
OPTION ONE
7 – 11 May 2027
OPTION TWO
11 – 15 September 2027
A Heartstyles foundation
Every participant completes a Heartstyles indicator before arriving. The days work from what it surfaces — the character strengths already there, and the self-limiting patterns that show up under pressure.
Deep personal work, held in a small group
Facilitated sessions, small-group work and one-to-one time move from the stories that shaped us to the identity we are choosing now. Ten people only, so nobody hides.
Wilderness as part of the method
Dawn drives, wilderness walks, silence and firelight are woven through the programme rather than bolted on. The bush does work a boardroom cannot.
Integration that outlasts the days away
The immersion closes with concrete commitments and a 90-day follow-through with your facilitator, so what shifts out there shows up on Monday.
