Once we find our inner wealth, we more easily manifest wealth in the world around us

4. Access to your inner intelligence and intuition 

What you will learn in the Leadership Retreat
Regenerative investing goes beyond adopting new investment and business models - it requires a shift in mindset. As Albert Einstein said, "We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them".

This program blends inner development with training of regenerative principles and business structures. You'll explore your purpose to anchor from within, develop compassion for strong relationship skills, and redefine your relationship with money for more holistic wealth creation. You'll also learn about regenerative business and finance models partly collaborating with Ugandan entrepreneurs.

Expect a joyful experience and the chance to build meaningful friendships across continents.

 

 

Why together with entrepreneurs?
Many believe we are facing a crisis of trust, especially in business and investment relationships, yet experience shows that trust is crucial for success. To move from transactional interactions to more meaningful, relational connections, we must take time to connect with ourselves and understand the realities entrepreneurs face. This understanding fosters deeper trust in future collaborations.
The retreat brings together investors and entrepreneurs, but it is not for investment purposes. Instead, it's about learning from each other's experience and building relationships across different realities.
You can find more information about the entrepreneurs here.

Why in Uganda?
While Uganda reflects many challenges of the global system, our focus is on its potential for transformative innovation and impact. Ugandans approach life with joy, despite hardships. They embrace the natural flow trusting in life's provisions. Many also maintain a deep sense of responsibility for their communities and care for the less fortunate - qualities that are invaluable for leaders navigating a world in transition.
