This one-day workshop teaches participants how to engage all thinking styles.

SUMMARY:HUE Leadership Retreat in Sedona
DESCRIPTION:Why Sedona? \nThe Place Is Part of the Experience  \nSedona is one of those rare places in the world that inspires us to see things differently.   \nIts red-rock formations\, desert landscape\, expansive skies\, quiet trails\, and long tradition as a destination for reflection and spiritual exploration create an environment where it becomes easier to let go\, pay attention to surroundings\, and listen to self.  \nWe are intentionally bringing this retreat to Sedona because the environment is not just the backdrop\, it is part of the work. During our three days together\, we will move between facilitated leadership exploration and experiences on the land.  \nThere will be opportunities for meditation\, gentle movement and yoga\, reflective writing\, individual contemplation\, land journeys\, and visits to places associated with Sedona’s traditions of reflection and renewal.  \nYou do not need to subscribe to a particular spiritual practice or belief. Come with curiosity\, prepared to explore and listen deeply.    \n																										 \nLeadership from the Inside Out \nBefore We Transform Systems\, We Have to Attend to the People Leading Them  \nMuch of traditional leadership development focuses outward:  \n\nHow do I motivate my team? \n\n\nHow do I communicate better? \n\n\nHow do I manage change? \n\n\nHow do I accomplish more? \n\nThose are important questions. But\, we believe another set of questions needs to come first:  \n\nWho am I becoming as a leader? \n\n\nWhat am I carrying that I need to let go? \n\n\nWhat gives me energy and what is depleting it? \n\n\nWhat values do I want to preserve as the world around me changes? \n\n\nWhere am I being invited to grow? \n\n\nWhat does the next chapter of my leadership work require of me? \n\nHow can I be healthy enough (emotionally\, physically\, relationally\, and spiritually) to be present for the people and communities who depend on me?  \nThe HUE Leadership Retreat creates space to explore these questions without separating the human being from the function of leadership.  \nWe begin with Leading Self because self-awareness is the foundation from which we lead others and influence larger systems.  \nFrom there\, we explore Leading Others—relationships\, trust\, communication\, responsibility\, collaboration\, and the way our presence affects the people around us.  \nAnd finally\, we consider Leading Systems—how we remain grounded\, courageous\, and purposeful while navigating complexity\, uncertainty\, transition\, and change.  \nThe work moves inward and outward:  \nSelf ? Others ? Systems  \nBecause sustainable transformation requires all three.  \n																										 \nA Small Community of Leaders \nCome for Yourself. Learn Through Others.  \nLeadership can be surprisingly lonely.  \nThe more responsibility we carry\, the fewer places we may have where we can speak openly about uncertainty\, transition\, aspirations\, exhaustion\, questions\, or possibility.  \nThat is why this retreat is intentionally small. We bring together leaders from different sectors\, professions\, communities\, backgrounds\, and stages of their leadership journey.  \nParticipants may include leaders from:  \n\nNonprofit and philanthropic organizations \n\n\nPublic health and healthcare \n\n\nSocial work and human services \n\n\nHigher education and education \n\n\nGovernment and public service \n\n\nCommunity and civic organizations \n\n\nMission-driven businesses and social enterprises \n\n\nConsulting\, facilitation\, and organizational development \n\nSome participants may be leading established organizations. Others may be moving into a new role\, contemplating a transition\, developing a new venture\, or wondering what their next chapter might hold.  \nThe diversity of the cohort is intentional. We believe leaders have much to learn from people working outside their own profession and sector.  \nThis is less about networking in the traditional sense\, and more about an opportunity to form meaningful relationships with people willing to engage in honest conversation about leadership\, life\, responsibility\, and change.  \nWhat You May Leave With \nTransformation does not look the same for everyone.  \nWe are not promising that three days in Sedona will provide all the answers.  \nWe are creating the conditions in which better questions\, deeper awareness\, meaningful relationships\, and new possibilities can emerge.  \nYou may leave with:  \n\nGreater clarity about your purpose and next chapter \n\n\nDeeper awareness of your leadership strengths and patterns \n\n\nA renewed understanding of your values and priorities \n\n\nGreater awareness of your wellbeing and what sustains you \n\n\nPractices for reflection\, grounding\, and composure \n\n\nNew perspectives on challenges you have been carrying \n\n\nGreater capacity to lead through uncertainty and transition \n\n\nMeaningful relationships with leaders from other sectors \n\n\nA personal leadership plan for integrating your insights after the retreat \n\n\nRenewed energy and permission to lead differently \n\nAnd perhaps something less easily measured: a clearer relationship with yourself\, a deeper sense of connection\, and greater intention about how you want to use your leadership in the world.  \nYour Facilitators & Guides \n																																						\n									Connect on LinkedIn\n					 \nDr. Irina Fursman \nCo-Founder & CEO\, HueLife | Co-Founder\, Global Synergy Group  \nIrina is a facilitator\, educator\, systems thinker\, and leadership development practitioner whose work explores how people lead and create change when authority alone is not enough.  \nHer work spans nonprofit organizations\, government\, public health\, education\, businesses\, and community systems in the United States and internationally.  \nAt the retreat\, Irina will guide participants through the HUE leadership journey of Leading Self\, Leading Others\, and Leading Systems\, creating space for thoughtful dialogue\, self-examination\, practical leadership exploration\, and connection across differences.  \nHer role is not to tell participants what kind of leader they should become\, but to create the environment for them to discover more clearly how they want to lead.  \nContact Irina: irina.fursman@hue.life \n																																						\n									Connect on LinkedIn\n					 \nEloiza Altoro\, MS\, HS-BCP\, CAE \nPrincipal Consultant\, Mind Redesign Consulting | Co-Convener & Retreat Guide  \nEloiza brings more than 30 years of experience working with nonprofit organizations\, executives\, boards\, and communities through organizational change\, leadership development\, strategic planning\, facilitation\, and governance.  \nHer approach integrates leadership development with the wellbeing of the whole person.  \nIn Sedona\, Eloiza will help guide the retreat’s reflective and restorative experiences\, including meditation\, movement\, spiritual reflection\, and exploration of the land—helping participants create greater connection between how they care for themselves and how they show up for others.  \nRetreat Logistics \nHUE Leadership Retreat — Sedona  \nDates: March 2–4\, 2027  \nLocation: Sedona\, Arizona  \nFormat: Three-day\, in-person immersive retreat  \nCohort: Intentionally limited to a small group of leaders  \nThe retreat will include a combination of facilitated indoor sessions and experiences throughout the Sedona environment.  \nYour retreat experience includes:  \n\nThree days of facilitated retreat programming \n\n\nLeadership and personality assessments \n\n\nRetreat workbook and reflection materials \n\n\nGuided wellness and reflective practices \n\n\nSedona experiential and land-based activities \n\n\nBreakfast\, lunch\, snacks\, and refreshments during retreat programming \n\n\nShared community experiences \n\n\nPost-retreat integration and leadership support \n\nLodging for 3 nights (check in Monday\, March 1; check out Thursday\, March 4) is included in the retreat fee; however\, if desired\, we can accommodate additional nights upon request at Sedona Summit (rate varies on the type of accommodations)   \nSedona Summit: https://www.hilton.com/en/hotels/flgsegv-hilton-vacation-club-sedona-summit/   \nParticipants will receive a detailed schedule\, preparation information\, what-to-bring guidance\, and other logistics prior to the retreat.
