A three-day experience

You travel on your own to the training venue, arriving at 13:00. We settle in with coffee, introduce the IDG framework, and explore the first two dimensions. Together, we cook dinner. The day ends with exercises and meditation before rest.

After breakfast, we prepare for a day’s hike and head out in the surrounding nature. Time outdoors is combined with exercises and reflective conversations. We cover the third and fourth dimensions. In the evening, we prepare a shared dinner and conclude with a reflective group activity.

After breakfast, we pack up and focus on the fifth dimension. We summarize the days, create personal development plans, and close the training at 12:00.
