A four-day gathering for professionals navigating
uncertainty — to rethink how we lead, decide,
and make sense of what’s emerging.

THE CONTEXT

Why now

The world you learned to lead in is no longer the world you're leading in. AI is rewriting the rules of expertise. Organizations are transforming faster than the people running them. And the strategies that got you here — the ones you've relied on for years — are quietly losing their grip.

You feel it. In the meeting where everyone agrees but nothing moves. In the gap between what you say publicly and what you think at 2am. In the exhaustion of performing confidence when the ground keeps shifting.

You're not the only one. But almost no one talks about it.

That's why RE:WORLDING exists.

Over four days in the hills of the Swiss Jura, 50 people — leaders, practitioners, people carrying real responsibility — gather to practice navigating without a map. Not through lectures. Through lived experience, embodied work, and honest exchange with others on the same frequency.

You leave not with another framework, but with a clearer sense of what you actually stand on — and people who'll hold you to it.

THE COMPASS POINTS

Four territories. You choose one.

At the heart of RE:WORLDING are four Deep Dive Labs — running in parallel each afternoon. You choose the one territory that calls you most, and you go deep. Your lab becomes your home base: a small group, intense work, real practice.

And each evening, all four labs come together for the Harvest — sharing the essence of what emerged. You commit to one path. You receive the fruit of all four.

LAB 01 | RE:GENERATE

Leading through the In-Between
The old structure is crumbling but still pays the bills. The new one is emerging but has no proof yet. You're responsible for both — and no playbook covers this.

This lab is about the craft of holding that tension: letting go of what no longer serves without burning it down, and nurturing what's emerging without forcing it into the old shape.

What shifts: You stop fighting the "not yet." You develop the steadiness to hold two realities at once — and the instinct to sense what is ready to move.

LAB 02 | RE:AUTHOR

Identity in the Age of AI
Your expertise used to be your anchor. Now a machine can draft the strategy, write the report, and brief the client. So what are you for?

This lab is about the question beneath the question: not "how do I stay relevant?" but "what is irreducibly mine?" Your judgment. Your voice. Your ability to make meaning in a world drowning in information.

What shifts: You stop measuring yourself by output. You rediscover the parts of your leadership that no algorithm can replicate — and you learn to lead from there.

LAB 03 | RE:LATE

Conflict as Generative Force
The team is split. The board can't agree. Two people in the room haven't spoken honestly in months. And everyone pretends it's fine.

This lab is about staying in the friction instead of smoothing it over — and discovering that the tension itself contains intelligence. Not conflict resolution. Conflict as a compass.

What shifts: You stop avoiding the hard conversation. You learn to hold disagreement long enough for something genuinely new to surface — in your team, your organization, yourself.

LAB 04 | RE:SENSE

The Body as Compass
You knew the decision was wrong before you could explain why. Your chest tightened. Your energy dropped. But you overrode it — because the data said otherwise.

This lab is about learning to trust those signals. Moving from "head on a stick" to a full-body intelligence that reads situations faster and more accurately than analysis alone.

What shifts: You stop overriding your gut. You learn to read what your body already knows — and act on it before your mind has caught up.

What stays

What you carry home from RE:WORLDING

These are not certificates or summaries. They are shifts — in how you read a room, make a decision, or hold a conversation that matters.

Decisions that feel yours again

You leave with a clearer sense of what you actually navigate by — not the frameworks you inherited, but the signals you trust. Body, instinct, pattern, voice. You'll notice the difference the first time you're in a room where everyone agrees and you don't — and you stay with it.

Words for what you've been circling

The half-formed thoughts you've been carrying suddenly have language. Not jargon. Real words — the kind you can use in a board meeting, a team conversation, or a difficult call with a stakeholder. You stop struggling to explain what you sense and start being heard.

A room where the masks come off

50 people, carefully chosen. The rare experience of spending four days with peers who don't pretend to have it figured out — and who think better because of it. These connections tend to last. Many of our alumni call this the most valuable professional network they have.

Steadiness, not answers

You don't return with a new plan. You return with a steadier hand. The ability to stay in uncertainty without freezing. To hold a difficult situation a little longer before reaching for the quick fix. Your team will notice before you do.

Morning: Arriving Together

We start each day as a whole group. Short inputs, shared reflection, a simple body practice. A gentle landing — to connect with yourself, with others, and to arrive in the day's territory.

Midday: The Open Space (Co-Created)

This is where the format breathes. Pitch a topic that's been burning in you. Join someone else's. Walk the hills with a stranger who won't be a stranger by lunch. Sit in the sun and do nothing — sometimes that's where the real thinking happens. The best ideas at our gatherings have come from this unscripted time. We protect it fiercely.

Afternoon: The Deep Dives (Curated)

You choose one of the four labs — and go deep. Your lab becomes your home base for the gathering: a small group, selected hosts, intense and experiential work. Not theory. Practice that gets under your skin. You commit to one territory. The depth is the gift.

Evenings: The Harvest & The Fire

All four labs come together. Each group shares its essence with the others — not as a report, but as a living harvest. Four expeditions, one fire. You chose one path, but you receive the fruit of all four. Then: shared meals, wine, conversations that continue long after the candles burn down. The best part of the day. Always.

THE CIRCLE

Who belongs in this room

We are not curating by job title. We are curating by honesty — and by moment. The question is not what you do, but whether this is the right time for you to be here.

50

Fifty is where a gathering becomes a real community. Small enough that you are seen. Large enough that your thinking gets genuinely challenged. Once the circle is closed, it stays closed.

You might recognize yourself in one of these:

You've been leading transformation for years — and privately wonder if the next one needs a completely different approach.
You facilitate change for others and realize you're overdue for your own.
You've built something that works — and sense it needs to evolve so something better can emerge.
You're at an inflection point in your career and the usual advisors aren't helping.
You carry responsibility that no job description fully captures.

THE PLACE

A place built for threshold moments

Impulszentrum Holdenweid sits in the rolling hills of the Swiss Jura, near Basel. Originally built as a shelter for people whose reality didn't fit the conventions of their time, it has since become a place for rethinking those very conventions.

"The permission to be disoriented is already in the walls."

Fully residential

You sleep, eat, and work in the same place. This is not incidental — it's what makes the depth possible.

Honest, local food

Full board throughout. Shared at long tables. Meals here are not logistics — they're where the other half of the thinking happens.

The Jura hills

Walking trails, open air, space to think outside the room. Nature is part of the rhythm.

Near Basel

Easy to reach from across Europe — with enough distance from everyday life to actually arrive.

TICKETS & ACCOMODATION

Four days that stay with you

Four days. Full board. One lab that changes how you lead. And a circle of 50 people you'll want to call again.

These prices include the full programme, all materials, and complete full board for the entire gathering. Accommodation is separate so you can choose what fits.

DATES & TIMING June 24–27, 2026

We open the circle on Wednesday, June 24 at 15:00. (with registration and welcome starting at 14:00).

YOUR STAY

We have separated the sleeping costs from the program fee to give you full flexibility. Whether you prefer a quiet ensuite room or the closeness to nature in a tent — the choice is yours.

Please indicate your preferred category when you apply. Room capacities at Holdenweid are limited. We allocate them on a first-come, first-served basis.

Accomodation

Request your seat

How we handle the details We want your journey to be seamless from the moment you apply.

Room Allocation: We manage the bookings to ensure the right constellation. We will do our best to secure your preferred category (allocated on a first-come, first-served basis). If you opt for a shared room, we will carefully match you with a roommate who fits the vibe.
Simple Billing: Once your application is accepted and your seat is confirmed, we will send you a single invoice covering both your program contribution and your accommodation. One transfer, and you are all set.

ACCESS & SOLIDARITY

We are curating a diverse group, and we know that value isn't always reflected in available budget. We don’t want money to be the reason the right person isn’t in the room.

If your financial reality currently stands in the way of your participation, please reach out to us (info@beyondstorytelling.com) for a confidential conversation. We have set aside a small budget for solidarity-based support and individual payment plans.

JOIN THE CIRCLE

This is not an open call.

We are building a circle of 50 people who are genuinely at this moment. Not because it looks good on a calendar. Because something in them says: now.

We don't need a CV or a motivation letter. Just a few honest lines about where you are right now.

1 Send us a signal

A few lines about what brought you here. What are you navigating right now? Don't overthink it. Gut feeling is enough.

2 We respond personally

A real reply from the team. No automated responses. We'll confirm your seat — or let you know if the timing isn't right.

The Lineage

BEYOND STORYTELLING

A decade of building rooms that matter.

What started as a conference in Heidelberg has become something harder to categorize and more valuable because of it. Over nine years, we have been building temporary worlds: spaces where leadership, narrative intelligence, and systemic change meet in ways that don't happen at ordinary events.
