THE TEAM COACHING
ANNUAL RETREAT
TRANSFORM • RESTORE • CONNECT
THE MIRROR AND THE FIELD
Four days of immersive practice, meaningful connection and renewal.
Join leading team coaching experts Georgina Woudstra and Allard De Jong for an immersive 4-day retreat designed for experienced team coaches, OD practitioners, and leadership development professionals.
Combining deep learning with restorative connection, this retreat offers space to refine your practice, build meaningful relationships with fellow practitioners, and return to your work renewed and inspired.
Our 2026 retreat focuses on Self as Instrument – that delicate, dynamic space where your inner system meets the living system of the team.
Through guided exploration, peer practice, reflective time and shared meals, Georgina and Allard will help you tune into the unseen, name what is felt but unspoken, and trust the wisdom of the moment.

WHY CHOOSE THE RETREAT?
Team coaching is demanding, intimate work. You hold space for others, navigate complexity, and show up with your whole self, often without time to process, integrate or restore.
This retreat offers what workshops can't: time and space to go deep into your practice while also stepping back to rest, reflect and connect with peers who truly understand this work.
You'll leave with:
A sharpened stance and presence
So you can work with greater authenticity and presence within the team dynamic
Understanding when to step in and when to step back
By distinguishing between powerful ‘use of self’ and unhelpful ‘overuse of self’
The ability to read and respond
To resonance, intuition and embodied data as it emerges in real time interaction
The confidence to work with the undercurrents shaping the team
The elephants in the room, the tensions and the latent potential waiting to unfold
