"A leader is anyone who chooses to take responsibility for shaping new realities, and sensing potential in every person and situation that has the courage to follow it and show the way for the emerging potential to grow into new possibilities."
Héctor Aristizábal is a Colombian psychologist, director, and actor who founded ImaginAction to use theater to explore alternatives to conflict and to initiate community healing.
This summer, Hector Aristizabal returns to Europe after six years, to share his work in the Peace process in Colombia with Re-Conectando supporting the mandate of the Truth Commission, with Truth Reconciliation Laboratories in the womb of Mother Earth.

During the Retreat, we will learn from Hector's experiential methodology inspired by "The Work That Reconnects," enriched by social theater and the design of healing rituals. This approach makes the reconnection with oneself, others, the Earth, ancestors, and future generations a tangible and embodied experience.
The retreat is hosted and organized by social arts facilitators Ilaria Olimpico and Uri Noy Meir.

Mentoring is about valuing relationships in a social system, a community, or any group of people working and collaborating. It is not about transferring or practicing one or more methods or techniques or getting new tools to copy-paste.
It is a reconnective leadership program that offers you a creative opportunity to see and be seen in your gifts and talents, with sessions dedicated to showcasing your work, getting feedback, and cultivating listening, trust, and care. Throughout the program, you will be introduced to Social Arts practices as a space to make the invisible visible and reconnect with our bodies and our capacity to feel and witness the reality inside and outside us.
The program is designed for leaders in different fields - education, social work, health, and the private sector - committed to community healing, eco-social justice, and regenerative action for the future. When we talk about leaders, we mean anyone willing to lead the way toward more connection, regeneration, and flourishing life on earth. We realize that leading and facilitating processes can be emotionally and physically demanding. This type of work requires nourishing our inner sense of well-being. In turn, inner wellbeing is cultivated when we re-connect with ourselves, others, and nature.
We have worked extensively with people coming from grassroots movements and the non-profit sector. Now, it is time to take a transdisciplinary approach. We aim to heal a sense of separation between the private and non-profit sectors, academia and informal education, communities and government. We feel it is a time for us to unite and work together.
OUR INTENTION IS TO CULTIVATE LEARNING SPACES FOR LEADERSHIP THAT SUPPORTS RECONNECTION TO OTHERS AND NATURE!
Do you FEEL the same? Please contact us!
We are facing a historical inter-related crisis (ecological, spiritual, social) where leaders' ability to cultivate awareness and stay connected with themselves, others, and Nature is essential.
If you work with teams and people, you have surely felt the challenge of working in an environment of growing uncertainty, social isolation, and widespread fear.

"Collective wellbeing is a paradigm for an emerging future. It is activated in groups that heal a sense of separation between self, other, and nature; encourage authenticity; support risk-taking amid uncertainties, and embrace a sense of possibility."
