This afernoon I got in Elspeet where the ALIA (Authentic Leadership in Action) Program is taking place for the first time in Europe. The place is in the middle of a national park and is all covered in snow now, since it's been snowing strongly for the past weeks in the whole Europe.
On my arrival the first person I met was Margareth Wheathley, author of the book Leadership and The New Science and some other around the power of conversations and learning communities. Wow, I said to myself, I am here and having the chance to meet these great thinkers.
As the afternoon unfolded I got meet other very interesting people who are here to attend one of the 5 modules that are gonna take place for the next five days.
I will be attending the one co-hosted by Peter Merry and Dylan Newcomb called Integral Practice of Evolutionary Leadership and Change, which will explore the living and literally embodied experience of new ways of leadership. Dylan is one of the greatest dancers in the world and has been exploring the combination between dance and theories for the new world for the past years. He has developed what is called the 16 Ways (http://www.dylannewcomb.com/Dylan_Newcomb/The_16_Ways.html). Peter is a facilitator for group processes and designs on sustainability, one of the co-founders of the Centre for Human Emergence Netherlands (http://www.humanemergence.nl/en/index.php) and also one of the partners of Engage (http://www.engagency.nl/).
It's now 9pm and I am sitting in my room, quite tired of all the good conversations I had since this afternoon, as I landed in the space and in this group of around 130 people going from one room to the other, from lunch to dinner, introducing myself, telling my story and listening other peoples stories. Wow, I can feel this is going to be a quite intense week, with much to reflect on as the learning journey continues. I can't wait.
