About the event

The art of leadership is not simply a technique. Being a leader requires internalising some fundamental values and qualities of mature humanity. Building relationships with other personalities to shape the world is at the core of the questions of philosophy. Therefore, every leader needs to be a philosopher at some point – ever more so in the complex and dynamic reality of today.

Together with other Argonauts, the program will lead you through…

Ancient wisdom of the Greeks as an inspiration for leadership

Details

The ancient Greeks knew the crucial features of flourishing aliveness, and they visualized them through their myths and arts in the form of their immortal gods. Every god incorporates a genuine aspect of human fulfilment or magnitude. Zeus, king of gods and men, manifests the creative power of wisdom and passion. Hera, his spouse, represents the authority of tradition, lineage and family. Ancient Greek mythology is thus a master-tool for the study of the female and male art of leadership.

Reconnecting to the male and female energy of leadership

Details

The palace of Zeus was Mount Olympus. At its slopes, above the sea, you will find the pretty village of Palaios Panteleimonas, with its ancient stone houses, enchanted alleys and its church square vaulted by gigantic plane trees. There we reside, and from there we go on excursions to the sights of the surrounding area and explore the breathtaking natural beauty of Mount Olympus. We meet Zeus and Hera in poetry and myth as well as in art and philosophy. We follow in their footsteps in the sanctuaries of Dion and Vergina and we let ourselves be filled by their spirit during our workshop-sessions.

The past helping shape the future

Details

Discover our own character and connect on the similarities and differences in traits within your peers by using the Argonauts mode of conversational fluency to get ready to have an impact. How to approach an unknown future? What can we re-learn to find the right perspectives today? This retreat will form a Trust Circle of a very different kind. A live and alive encounter with ancient mythology and other Argonauts.
