This adventure is calling to you because.....

What we will explore

Maybe you’re looking for a better way to cope with the fast pace of the world of work and maintain the experience on your return? Or perhaps you are yearning for a real break from ever-increasing tension where you can focus on finding release from the distractions of life? You might even be searching for clarity on your purpose in life and wanting to focus on the legacy that you will leave. Whatever it is, with the support of the facilitators, you’ll choose the direction of your exploration during our time together to help you live to the pulse of your life.

Before embarking on your journey, it is important to pause for a moment to take a breath and slow the mind down. Take stock of your current situation: What do you know about yourself? What are you searching for? Why are you here?

Is everything that you know about yourself true? What could life look like if you rewrote the rules or got rid of them all together?

Get ready to journey into your identity and beliefs. Why do you think the way you think? Is there a reason that you behave in a certain way?

Learning how to live in harmony with others and traverse the challenges of your relationships is an essential step towards living a life full of vitality and contentment.

Is your life’s purpose and meaning currently uncertain or feels unattainable? How does your journey fit into the larger picture? Is it personal, local or global in scope?

It’s time to look at how you deal with struggle, challenges and upsets. Is everything that you believe to be true actually true? Instead of overwhelm and stress, what if you felt gratitude and peace? How different could your life be?

Now we explore what really makes you tick and what brings passion and joy into your life. If there were no constraints or restrictions, what would you be doing right now? Who would you dare to be?

What do you want your next step in your journey to look like? What is really important in your life as you look forward?

How are you going to take all of your happiness, purpose and vitality back into your daily life?

There will also be plenty of opportunities to slow your pulse too so that you can take time to reflect and recharge by relaxing on your terrace, swimming in the pool or getting creative with your wildlife photography in the Terrapin Water Hide.

How the days will run

Our approach is very flexible. Yes, we have a timetable, however we give space for the unexpected to arise; this is what creates the magic and maximises the impact of the interventions that take place. During the retreat, there is a strong emphasis on group coaching because exploring your emotions with others and discovering that your experiences are often shared and that you are not isolated is extremely powerful. These group coaching elements are supported by 1-2-1 sessions too and of course, we will be available throughout our time together for more informal chats whenever you may need it.

The Pulse Experience

Your retreat days will blend reflection and discovery activities, individual coaching sessions and interactive group explorations with plenty of time for rejuvenation, exploration, play and relaxation all against the backdrop of, and immersed in, the wilderness of the stunning Madikwe Game Reserve. This retreat includes:

What Others Are Saying

"This session was the best session I have taken part in. I witnessed something that made the hairs on my arm raise and also had goose pimples. Ian was able to open up a very closed book in one of the other candidates in the session. The only way I can describe this is like when you blow a balloon up from the start to the finish and then tie it. Right from the beginning when Ian made him smile , he spotted something from this and then just ran with it . So much so that the person involved was able to say out loud and many times that "I am bloody Great and that’s ok". The transformation was something else considering the person involved and I have worked with this person for over a year and have never witnessed anything like this. So what could be improved? On this session nothing."

For Your Boss

The Pulse Retreat creates an environment where people flourish. It enables them to return re-energised, fulfilled, healthy and bringing flow and energy to the workplace. They come back more empathetic and with a better understanding of how to connect with their colleagues and clients which creates inspiring environments with a strong sense of purpose and empowerment. Moreover, their ability to influence and support colleagues, customers and their team whilst maintaining their own resilience and supporting others is refreshed. Ultimately, they come back ready to be in the zone, more creative, dynamic and having greater resilience, all of which creates a positive ripple effect through the organisation.
