Art of Leadership Retreat
First retreat is planned for early 2026 while it is still winter in northern Thailand, probably the second half of January.

The second retreat will be offered in June 2026, another month usually delivering sensational weather.
This program of learning will train and inspire you to offer cutting edge leadership of a self-empowering nature for group members, who will grow themselves while being committed to the group’s harmony, direction and meeting its goals and reasons for existence.
We will focus on enhancing and growing your skillset, learning about the human condition and potential,
The instructional focus will be on self-inquiry through guided discovery. The program will be facilitated by non-conventional educator and teacher trainer, Philip Keay, who uses his unique brand of heart-centred, skills-focused Task-Based Learning to train and inspire all kinds of group leaders in group dynamics and leadership,
Groups will be limited to 12 participants. Anticipated students will be educators, managers, executives, entrepreneurs, teacher trainers, life coaches who wish to coach groups, and all kinds of world helpers who wish to build groups and communities so that all members flourish in the group’s work and its natural lifespan.
One of the major unique features of Philip’s instruction is that whatever you learn with him is learning by doing and reflecting as a group member, meaning you develop innate insights and understandings of what it is like to the be the group member.
