Developmental Coaching
Individual Immersion
Time out, Dive deep, Branch out
Enquiry for awareness and insight
Enquiry for awareness and insight
These 3 day Individual Immersions are for those who want to experience diving deep and who are ready to go into exploring, engaging and embodying their next stage of development. A participant will have a specific question to guide them through the two-days and set up sustainable practices for on-going development.
The Individual Immersions are tailor-made with 2 highly experienced coaches and different mind-body practitioners according to the developmental need. The Individual Immersion creates the conditions of time space and energy for some deep work and a very personalised experience.
The individual immersions are very relevant for those already engaged in a coaching programme or who are on a professional or personal development journey and want to go much deeper towards their next step of development. It is also relevant for those not currently in a coaching programme but wanting to take time out for introspective enquiry to gain insights and awareness on a particular question with a deeply personalised approach. The focus is on learning how to “Enquire” and developing sustainable practice to support the next step of your development.
While sitting with your question, you will be guided through mind, body and emotional connection practices that encourage you to learn, open to new perspectives and gain insights in where your path wants to take you next.
What are we going to do?
Our facilitation is based on a deep listening to the needs and rhythm of the individual. The Retreat is tailored in advance but can be adapted live to the needs and rhythm of the coachee. The main themes of the Retreat are:
-
-
- Practicing ‘Enquiry’ as a powerful technique for development: pause, listen and enquire.
- Turning the camera in for a deeper exploration of our inner landscape, developing our introspective focus and raising awareness of our habitual patterns.
- Sitting with a question and distinguishing between “I don’t know” and “Not knowing”. Understanding the concept of dynamic balance and how that is related to our physical, emotional, cognitive and spiritual well-being.
- Practicing acceptance and compassion for all parts of ourselves and so for others.
- Understanding and connecting with the wisdom of our body and developing our own body and energy practices.
- Reconnecting with the cyclical nature of life and being in flow with alternating states of being and doing.

How are we going to do it?
You will have a preparation call with one of the facilitators to craft and fine-tune the question you will bring to the Retreat from your current coaching programme or related to your current development issue or challenge.
The Retreat is about developing your ability to stop and pause, assess from different perspectives, dynamically balance for what is needed now, and set up the appropriate practices.
During the Retreat we will use a 4-step process:
How to stop. How to assess. How to balance. How to practice.
-
-
We will explore these different steps through the following approaches:
- Facilitated Group activities
- Facilitated Self-awareness exercises and practices
- Sensory awakening through the contact with nature..
- Personal thinking and reflection time.
- Individual sessions with practioners according to the need : this could be voice specialists, martial artists, storytellers, Mind-Body, meditation or energy practice experts
- Guided writing exercises.
-
-
Every morning you will participate in a morning wake-up that includes Body, Meditation and Journaling practices. This is about different ways of accessing our consciousness, not about any physical performance.
Who is it for?
The Retreat is for those currently in a coaching programme or a leadership development path interested in going deeper into their personal and professional growth and developing sustainable practice through a 3 day deep immersion.
The Retreat will be in English but the facilitators speak French and Spanish.
