Experiential Learning and Development
Experiential learning is the process of learning by doing. My version of it invites learners - from new recruits through seasoned leaders - to practice what they seek to learn in everyday spaces, such as at home and in their everyday relationships. I also design special workshops, retreats, and programs where we meet in inspiring spaces to find connection with the natural world and each other, gain confidence, and clarity, and return to our work with action-oriented energy.
True learning and behavior change takes place when we are inspired and allow for movement and action. These cutting edge experiential programs deliver hands-on sensory experiences that ground learners in reality and unearth adaptability and brilliant, simple solutions.
These experiences include the essential ingredients for true learning: peer discussion, expert teaching and facilitation, practice, and coaching. Careful attention is paid to aligning organizational and individual values, clarifying a direction for forward movement, cultivating momentum, experimentation, and taking action with accountability to attain desired results.
Our Services

Through expert coaching, learners gain confidence, clarity, and connection through practicing who they want to become in simple ways during their daily lives.
Format: Nine month engagements offered privately or in small groups with biweekly meetings. Learners leave each meeting with a next step to take between meetings that is aligned with their development goals.
Content emphasizes the power of self observation and reflection. For example, learners who are working on communicating clearly and confidently will observe their thoughts, feelings, sensations, and behaviors as they engage in various tasks and relationships. Learners will reflect on their observations through independent writing and in discussion with their coach and other trusted people.

Experiential retreats invite teams and cohorts into inspiring spaces to reconnect, learn together, and practice new ways of working and leading. Includes practical tasks to integrate the retreat experience into worklife to attain renewed energy and clarity.
Format: Lindsay will meet with your team to design the retreat based upon your needs, including determining the experiential and outcome goals for the retreat, and engaging with your team before and after the retreat to ensure participants stay accountable to the retreat outcomes.
Lindsay’s retreats include beautiful meeting spaces, a connection to the natural world, and activities that strengthen social bonds and engage all the senses, such as her signature collaborative cooking activity.

Our flagship program takes leadership cohorts on an experiential learning journey full of variety, and a full sensory immersion in nature and food. Leaders gain deep connection to self and other and embody holistic behaviors that enable true transformation.
Format: This is a six month program. Participants begin with an in-person retreat to get to know one another, build trust, get introduced to the program content, and design their development goals. Then, we meet monthly for four virtual two-hour meetings. We end with an in-person retreat to close out the experience, assess what we’ve learned, and choose what to carry forward after the program.
