Trail

Trail •  The Macizo de Ayllón trail is a five day intense leadership development program of the

Foundation for Natural Leadership. The trail is the core of the program that lasts for four month.

•  The program is based on Theory-U from Otto Scharmer: 'conquering today’s complexity with the answers of tomorrow’. Nature is the portal to natural leadership, and a profound tool to accelerate personal transformation. The simplicity of nature and the disconnect with conditioned society will allow people to step out of their comfort zone, release their shackles and truly connect to themselves. Nature opens your head, heart and will: this enables people to find in-depth personal and professional answers of which they did not know the existence. Taking these answers seriously changes the way you lead.

Area The “Macizo de Ayllón” is 90 mins away from Madrid airport. Three main villages are Tamajón, Campillo de Ranas and Valverde de los Arroyos. With less than 200 people living in the selected triangle, a population density of 8,8 persons/km2 is among the lowest in Europe. A rich fluvial web has shaped many valleys and spectacular canyons, river views and cascades. Tiny abandoned villages in black stone adorn mountain views high up, while red stone dominates the lower skirts around Tamajón village. Available features include an abandoned monastery, many abandoned villages and spectacular castle ruins. There is a great variety of trees and plants. Wolves, vultures and small mammals populate this area.

Foundation

“It’s a leadership journey where you learn new dimensions of living and working with two feet on solid ground. Through the exchange with colleagues, the experiences can be deepened and translated into your own situation.” - Johan Bontje, Author of “Authentic Leadership”

•  At the Foundation for Natural Leadership, we believe that the 21st century needs a new form of leadership.

•  Under pressure from countless new developments in society and technology, as individuals and employees we have drifted further and further from the key to our existence: living together with each other and with nature. Furthermore, most of the potential we possess as human beings remains untapped. This creates incredible opportunities!

•  An increasing number of conscious and influential people are wondering how to address the new issues of our times. FNL’s Wilderness Leadership transformation programs are devoted to developing leadership qualities that can help them find answers. Each programme focuses on four inextricably linked domains. The Personal, Private, Professional and Public domains: the four P’s.

•  The Foundation, founded in 2002, is led by a honorary board. Facilitators, often professional coaches, have been trained to facilitate groups and receive a limited reward to compose and facilitate the groups on trail. At the wilderness areas local trained and professional guides are in charge of safety. More information can be found on www.naturalleadership.eu.

Program The Wilderness Leadership Transformation program is a personal development program containing 6 elements: •  An intake with the facilitator

•  Foundation workshop: 1-2 months before the trail where the trail group meets and people set their intentions

•  The 5 day trail: a trip through the Macizo de Ayllón. During nights we camp in nature, and we start and end in a basic cottage. We make daily trips in the surroundings. The group consists of 5-7 people with two facilitators and during the trail we are accompanied by a certified local guide.

•  The integration workshop – 1 month after the trail we join each other together with the facilitators to reconnect and evaluate the essence, intentions and actions during and after the trail

•  A coaching session with the facilitator 1 to 2 months after the trail to have a dialogue on the intentions and future steps

•  All FNL trail participants are invited to join the active community with regular community events.

The aim of the program is to converse insights into actionable change in personal and professional live.
