Thursday Mar 29th - Monday Apr 2nd 2012
Cost: $2750 all inclusive. Excluding airfares.
Join us for an inspirational Leadership journey to the heart of Australia. We will spend 4 days camping on country with the traditional owners of the area around Uluru (Ayers rock) and Kata Tjuta (The Olgas). The 4 days will be spent working, listening and being with the Elders of the Anangu Pitjanjatjara people. During this time the emphasis will be on heart leadership and how it has worked through the ages and how it can be into the future. 2 of the days will be spent with Uncle Bob Randall, former indigenous person of the year, musician, and world renowned public speaker. He will share some of the wisdom of his people whose history spans at least 80,000 years. Bodhi and Andrew will be working with the group, alongside the elders and uncle Bob, to help integrate and process the teachings.
During the 4 days we will focus on Heart Leadership and how it can be done with innate wisdom. The activities will cover all aspects of learning ie theoretical, experiential and ceremonial. Our campsite will be between Uluru and Kata Tjuta on the red dirt of the heart of Australia. The camp fire as it has been for thousands of years will be an integral part of this experience. We will also be able to enjoy some traditional bush tucker throughout the trip as well as the food we are accustomed to.
Come join us for what will be the beginning of a new way of looking at ourselves and how we Lead. The cost is $2750 which includes all food, camping gear, transport, and entry fee to national park, as well as facilitation fees. It does not include airfares to and from Uluru.
