Dear all, Several of you showed up at our first conversation in the series around Decolonising Inner Development, thank you! For those of you who missed it, or wish to review the conversation, here is the recording. Also attached a worksheet that may support you in processing/deepening the conversation in your own space. I am still processing the range and depth of reflections that emerge and will hopefully manage to write a synthesis a little later. For now, do share your reflections on this thread.

Hello! Is anyone organizing a local watch party with your community? I’d love to exchange ideas and explore potential collaborations.

Dear friends, I will be hosting an online community screening of "The Eternal Song" by Zaya and Maurizio Benazzo, followed by a reflection circle. This is part of an on-going vigil to bear witness to the people and communities impacted by genocide, war, colonization and violence against humanity 🙏🏻 Fri, 29 Aug 2025, kl19-22 (CEST/UTC+2) Admission is free and there are 3 tickets left. https://kinema.com/events/The-Eternal-Song-ucdqra

Happy (Easter) Sunday to you all! Two things: 1. Next Tuesday, April 22nd, 6pm CET, 12pm ET, we're hosting another 'What Are the IDGs?' call. This is a great opportunity to learn more about the framework, in a playful way, with meaningful conversations. Check the details & sign up now. 2. Below you'll find a summary of our call last Tuesday, about the Inner Alchemy cards by @Marielle Van Hemert as well as the replay of the call. Take-aways from the Inner Alchemy call: 𝘾𝙤𝙣𝙨𝙘𝙞𝙤𝙪𝙨 𝙇𝙚𝙖𝙙𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙝𝙞𝙥 𝙗𝙚𝙜𝙞𝙣𝙨 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣 It’s about self-awareness, empathy, and reflection. Conscious leaders are purpose-driven and consider the impact of their actions on people and the planet—not just business outcomes. 𝙒𝙝𝙮 𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙙𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙝𝙞𝙥 𝙤𝙛𝙩𝙚𝙣 𝙛𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙨 𝙨𝙝𝙤𝙧𝙩 Many leaders operate in a constant state of stress (“fight, flight, or freeze”), which narrows perspective and limits connection. This leads to burnout, disengagement, and unsustainable practices. 𝙄𝙣𝙣𝙚𝙧 𝘼𝙡𝙘𝙝𝙚𝙢𝙮 𝙘𝙖𝙧𝙙𝙨: 𝙋𝙧𝙖𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙡 𝙩𝙤𝙤𝙡𝙨 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙙𝙖𝙞𝙡𝙮 𝙜𝙧𝙤𝙬𝙩𝙝 These cards help leaders nurture their inner state, offering a simple daily ritual to reconnect, find calm, and gain clarity—no lengthy meditation required. 𝘽𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙠𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙧𝙤𝙤𝙢𝙨: 𝙎𝙤𝙞𝙡, 𝙎𝙚𝙖, 𝙃𝙤𝙢𝙚, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙄𝙣𝙚𝙦𝙪𝙖𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙮 We dove into four key themes. In the “Home” group, the conversation centered on what “home” truly means in the context of leadership and well-being. We discussed how creating a sense of home—safety, belonging, and authenticity—within ourselves and our organizations is foundational for conscious leadership. When people feel “at home,” they are more open, creative, and resilient, which ripples out to healthier teams and more impactful organizations.

Collaborating: Who is with me on this journey? 5. Acting: How do I persevere and move forward? 6. Impacting: How can I amplify my positive impact in the world?
