    About the Retreat:

    Psychedelic development program for entrepreneurs and pioneering minds

    EvoLEAD: Leadership Development Beyond the Ordinary

    Evolute Institute's 3-month flagship programme EvoLEAD takes leaders on an intensive and life-changing developmental journey: In a selective group of maximum 10 leaders (successful founders, CEOs, executives, change-makers), we will experience the transformative power of expanded states of consciousness. Guided by experienced experts, business coaches, medical doctors and psychologists, we will accompany you through a legal and safe ceremony with psychedelic truffles. In connection with leadership-relevant developmental content and contemplative as well as experiential practices, we create an intimate space in which deep connection and inspiration can be experienced. With deep inner work and custominzed coaching, we support your personal and professional development towards profound self-knowledge, the unleashing of your creative potential and the intuitive sensing of your authentic life vision.

     

    Our purpose

    We believe that leaders who know themselves are the leaders of a better tomorrow. We want to help leaders unlock their full creative powers, connect with their innermost purpose, and catalyze their personal and professional growth.

    Our vision

    We envision a world where leaders have the insight, competence, and courage to meaningfully contribute to the greater good. Where people in position of influence realize and embrace the full scope of both their potential and responsibility (response-ability). Where decision-makers act with a systemic awareness with respect to the effects they personally and their organizations have on people and the planet. Ultimately, we believe that a world where people feel fully connected with their environment and the larger web of life will be a significantly better world.

    Our work

    We provide leaders the environment they need to safely embark on an empowering and demanding journey of self-exploration. Our programs strive to create a unique space for transformative learning, where personal, leadership and organizational development meet in a context of altered states of consciousness. In addition to consciousness-altering technologies, we employ a diverse set of reflective, contemplative, and experiential exercises as well as peer coaching to catalyze profound insight and growth of our clients.

In case we consider the candidate is suitable for further consideration, we ask them to fill out an extensive screening questionnaire with over 60 questions that checks for physiological, psychological and psychiatric risk-factors and contra-indications (based on latest science). After that, every participant has a screening call with one of our psychologists. Only after this procedure we admit candidates to our program.
