R|7.0 is back!
The Refinery’s 10-week Creative Business Incubator is underway for 2025, and I’m thrilled to return as Program Facilitator.
I can't believe we've already wrapped Week 2!
Last week kicked off with a deep dive into vertical development, led by returning coach Alis Anagnostakis of the Vertical Development Institute. Our new cohort began to explore not just what they do, but who they are becoming as creative leaders, and what is required to develop greater complexity, maturity and wisdom in their journeys of growth.
This week, participants shared the heart and soul of their creative businesses through personal artefacts and we welcomed some of our program mentors.
Immersed in the beautiful surrounds of Maroochy Bushland Botanic Gardens, we stepped into our relationship with Country, guided by Elder-in-Residence Aunty Helena Gulash.
We explored regenerative leadership: how leaders - in how they lead and in their creative work - relate and contribute to the greater whole. To land, to time, to each other. It isn’t about fixing systems out there. It’s about seeing clearly how we’ve been part of the damage, and to shift our intentions and our creative choices towards reconnection.
There's so much more to come! I can't wait to share it with you.
