💒 What is the Monastery Mystery? 💒
⚙️ A non-religious 'serious game' weekend, for change makers, aspiring leaders and open-minded personal growth-seekers to define their next steps. Hosted at a monastery. A unique, immersive experience.
👉🏽 👀 By temporarily becoming a cogwheel in monastic life, you start seeking... to find yourself again!
🚪🗝 Behind the doors you choose to open, you will experience something and find your next clues. They will shape your path, after you emerge from the monastery.
🪞'In order to find yourself, you must first be found.'
👁 Who is it for? For 40 change makers, aspiring leaders and mid-career professionals looking for support in their next steps of making impact in their work and personal lives.
❇️ If you are at a cross-roads in your life... this is for you!
🪢 What will we experience?
Rather than presenting you with a predictable program overview, this experience is a serious game in which you go on a self-chosen journey in the monastery.
❈ No worries, there is enough time to relax, to reflect and rejoice.
Arrival Friday evening:
🧺 📿 After the 'initiation procedure' (on-boarding) upon arrival, you are assigned a 'small group' of 10 novices with a mission to fulfill by the end of the day 1. You will get further acquainted with your co-novices and are introduced to the cogwheel system.
(Satur)Day 1:
🫧 There are opportunities to Be dazzled & inspired in workshops provided by 🪄'Magic Monx' and 💌'Neon Nons', by strange encounters & interactions and moments of reflection in long corridors and courtyards.
🚪 ✨ Pass through various doors, and will meet parts of yourself behind each one.
💃🏻 🕺🏽 If you manage to puzzle your findings together, you will gain access to the 'End-of-Day ceremony', where all novices are expected to arrive dressed up and ready to party in attire you've gathered on your journey! 🎩
(Sun)Day 2:
🧽 🧻 🧹After the morning duties as a cogwheel Novice (unless you've already hacked that system), you gather in our small groups a Sunday Service of Shared Learning.
📝 It's a place to ask questions, to share what you've experienced and gain insights from each other.
🪅 🪩 🪅 In a Closing Celebration, we hope to release each of you from the Monastery Mystery with new energy, purpose and clarity for your next steps.

🎭 If you are in doubt if this is for you, message us to schedule a 15 minute discovery call. It will bring clarity.
