Nurturing Natural Performance

Why this programme is special.

This programme is obviously unusual and it is much more than a feel-good retreat.  Read on to glimpse the future of education and personal development.  Nurturing Natural Performance rests on two pillars - experiential learning and frontier science.

It has long been know that experience is the key to learning and that education is the critical determinant of opportunity.  These facts however have taken decades to sink in to our common awareness and institutions.  But anyone who has had an education knows that 1) education has been critical to their career path and lifestyle and 2) the best and fastest learning takes place through experience.  So our experiential exercises woven throughout the programme are fundamental to the success of this programme.  If a book would do, on say CSR or CSM or competitive strategy or investment management and so on, you could read it alone.  In fact reading helps self-development and we offer a lot of extra-curricular reading, but it is the experience of our activities that will help you develop and evolve.

The science introduced is both ancient wisdom and the latest discoveries in physics and biology.  We introduce the vital connections between quantum physics, spiritual phenomena and emerging genetics which are increasingly critical to society, business, government and all life today's human world of fast change, environmental risk and governance demands.  Frontier science's quest for the Theory of Everything dovetails with that of philosophy and the Big Picture catalyses thoughts and actions at the next level of human emergence.

This integrated, experiential Big Picture thinking enables breakthroughs because it draws on many diverse concepts (providing a broad base of understanding) which are integrated (enabling a practical understanding of inter-related concepts) and which are adopted by humans by changes in the way the body works (e.g. circulation), the mental processes (e.g. parallel thinking) and metaphysical connections (eg alignment of energy meridians).

Who does it serve?

Nurturing Natural Performance will enhance any person's life or organisation's prospects.  Some of the enhanced qualities you will develop include critical thinking, flexibility, leadership, physical well-being, stress reduction.

People who are challenged by diverse risks, multi-stakeholder engagements, sensitive markets, rapid technological change, limited resources and multi-cultural businesses will find their ability to solve issues greatly enhanced.

People who find their health is being compromised by stress at home or work will rejuvenate and find new ways to balance life. 

Participants that face complex motivations or find themselves "sitting on the fence" will find answers.

It is best suited to people and businesses that are already aware of ideas like personal health and well-being, flat organisation structures, community engagement, environmental stewardship, ethical governance,  global common responsibilities.

Most benefit will be gained by participants with a minimum level of experience, awareness and fitness.  It would be unsuitable for young children or individuals with mobility challenges (the first day involves a 5-8 kilometre walk on rough terrain).  It challenges idolatrous belief systems or codes of conduct.  It challenges apathy and dogmatism. It is for thinking and acting people and organisations.
