Rest & Resilience Retreat
for Sustainable Change Agents

We invite you to a rejuvenating 2-day journey crafted for the needs of sustainability actors to connect within, slow down, and build collective resilience for positive impact. Our experienced facilitators, Zeynep Falay von Flittner and Anni Rissanen, will hold a transformative space where you will be held with hope and kindness, quiet down to hear yourself whilst we build collective agency and resilience in the face of sustainability challenges.

Explore new ways of being, thinking and collaborating.

Step into a nourishing experience during May 4 – 5th 2024. The Rest & Resilience Retreat offers a harmonious blend of introspection and shared learning, designed to recharge your agency and path toward a more sustainable, fair, and regenerative future.

The retreat is planned so that our time together is deep yet joyful, bringing clarity around our purpose and agency and empowering us to navigate the complexities of today with fresh perspectives and tools. We will stimulate our minds, hearts, and bodies by integrating learnings from the wisdom of nature through somatic practices, regenerative leadership and transition design. We will explore new ways of being and thinking, connect within and with our fellow change agents, and emerge as a resilient force for sustainability.

Spaces are limited, so secure your spot and embark on a path to sustainable impact with clarity, compassion, and courage. 🌱

The weekend strengthened the knowledge that we are not alone in working towards a more fair and sustainable future - though I also know that transformation takes time, and the knowledge and insights we received can take weeks, months, or even years to integrate. That’s the beauty of deep work.
