Never. Stop. Learning.

At Trans Europe Halles, we truly believe that leadership belongs to everyone within a community or organisation. For us, leadership is creating ownership, working through one’s values, raising above polarisation, and listening to each other. Leadership starts with yourself. Listening to your inner-self, your intrinsic values, your gut feeling, and your emotions is crucial to enhance your leadership awareness and skills.

We also believe that skillfully managed conflicts and differences can build a firmer understanding, a broader vision, and a deeper trust among people. By grounding our experience of “wholeness”, we make space for growth within our body.

This programme is here for you to meet, in company of other like-minded leaders, new ways of exploring old themes that are important for us, professionals in the cultural sector. So you can find the strength and means to carry others along with you. Instead of focusing on the management elements of leadership, we choose to offer five days spent on the core elements of encountering and enabling self and other.

Who should attend

Arts and cultural professionals willing to develop their leadership skills through empathy, courage and clarity in their dealings with themselves and others. Seats are limited to 16 people.

What you can expect

Through this workshop, you will get and develop:

– Tools and practices that help you increase your presence, confidence, compassion and sense of humour as you deal with organisational or personal change.Insight into your personal reactive patterns and limiting assumptions.

– Learn approaches to synchronizing the body’s energy with what is being said, bringing unity and clarity into action.

– Increased capacity to live with paradox and the tension between opposites.

– Ways to access the bigger picture, your creativity and sense of value when under pressure.

– Ways to speak your truth to resistance with power and clarity, with empathy not aggression.

– A way to recover balance and clarity when faced with personal, moral, business, and political dilemmas.

How you will learn

Each day has a pattern which allows us to include wellbeing, presence and reflection as the elements which frame the explorations and discoveries of the main two sessions of the day. Thursday is devoted to systemic constellations. A constellation is a very powerful method to recognise, acknowledge and let go of entanglements in your life, work, family and relationships. It is a therapeutic group session in which each participant brings in a question on which she would like to get some clarity. To wrap up the day’s work there is an hour for reflection before breaking for dinner.
