Redefining Leadership Immersion October 2026

Redefining Leadership Immersion - October 2026 at Mayacamas Sanctuary

A new approach to leadership is being called for. Not a new leadership framework, not another model to apply, but a fundamentally different place from which leadership itself is understood, practiced, and lived.

Set on the breathtaking, regenerative land of Mayacamas Sanctuary in the mountains above Calistoga (California, Northern California), this intimate four-day gathering brings together a carefully selected group of leaders for something rare: the chance to set down what they already know and, together, begin to redefine what leadership can be.

The Premise

Leadership belongs to more people than have ever been told it does. The emphasis on position, title, and authority has left something truer largely unseen. We’re here to redefine that.

As Einstein observed, we cannot solve problems from the same level of thinking that created them. The answer to redefining leadership will not be found in more theory or more research. It will emerge from the people in the room, leading one another, witnessing one another, and collectively discovering something that cannot be taught, only experienced.

The Experience

Through Nic Askew’s pioneering, Inner View camera-based process of presence—and Lori Zukin’s immersive leadership development process—participants will be witnessed, and will witness one another, in a way that reveals the deeper source from which true leadership emerges.

This is not a summit where experts take turns presenting what they know. It is a collaborative creation—where leaders from diverse arenas arrive willing to bring everything they’ve learned, set it down, and let something new emerge together. What gets captured in film becomes the beginning of something larger: a body of work, a movement, a redefinition in progress.

Who This Is For

We are gathering a small cohort—approximately 12 people—who are leading in different arenas: organizations, communities, causes, families. What matters is not title or prominence, but character: the willingness to show up fully, to be seen, and to be part of something that could shift how leadership is practiced in the world.

Participation is by inquiry and invitation. If this calls to you, we want to hear from you.

What You Will Leave With

You will leave with something you cannot unsee, a new way of understanding your own leadership and the leadership of those around you. You will leave connected to a community of people committed to redefining what leadership looks like in a world that is calling for something profoundly different.

And you will have been part of creating something: a film, a conversation, a movement.
