At Open Up we understand the power of meaningful shared experiences. Our experiences are science based. In all of my facilitation, I am interested in discovering new kinds of inner growth practices, bringing wisdom traditions together with cognitive science, depth psychology and imagination to create powerful experiences that transform. Not just our inner lives, but the connections between us and beyond.
From whole person
to whole society
We invite leaders to uncover and express their truth and step into new places of power, insight and responsivity. In an ecology of practices we are interested in shifting our ontological gaze beyond the confines of what we know and mutually expand and learn from the shared insights.
Be Human
here and now
Become other-wise
Post-humanism
Becoming other-wise is as a gesture that exceeds a human-centered view or a fixed method and linear path of learning. In this process we invite leaders to foster curiosity, care and courage for our possibilities and limitations when we acquire a broader perception of who we are, and where we are.
Lead differently
A coming of place
We invite leaders to uncover and express their truth and step into new places of power, insight and responsivity. In an ecology of practices we are interested in shifting our ontological gaze beyond the confines of what we know and mutually expand and learn from the shared insights.
The times are changing;
ensure your leadership is too
We offer journeys, workshops, and projects, creating a dynamic and vibrant atmosphere powered by our collective openness to shift perspectives, patterns, and mindframes in a generative learning space.
Together with the Open Up team of skilled assistants, we bring care for experiencing meaningful experiences together that transform and where qualities essential for future-ready leadership become alive.
