Manage episode 474651569 series 3482669
Is it possible that the most profound insights for leading in our modern world lie not in the latest business trends, but in the ancient wisdom whispered by the land itself and carried in our ancestral roots? In this episode of Leading Visionaries, host Anjel B. Hartwell interviews Robert Mulhall, the CEO of Kripalu, North America's largest holistic retreat center.
Discover how Robert's deep connection to shamanic and indigenous practices, coupled with his Irish heritage and its "second sight", shapes his unique leadership philosophy. Learn how Kripalu aligns its organizational rhythms with the natural cycles of the year, embracing slowing down in winter and quickening in spring, informed by pre-Celtic and Celtic traditions. Explore the pivotal shift in Robert's understanding of vision, moving from an individualistic pursuit to listening to the powerful voice of Kripalu's land – the unseated territory of the Stockbridge Munsee Mohican people. Uncover the courageous decisions made during the pandemic, guided by the land's message to "be yourselves, don't be anything else and be generous", leading to a remarkable increase in accessibility through over 22,000 scholarships. Understand how Kripalu redefined growth by asking "what's enough?" aligning with nature's inherent balance.
Prepare to have your perspectives on leadership, vision, and the interconnectedness of all things deeply challenged and inspired; this episode reveals that true vision arises not from the mind alone, but from a profound dialogue with the world around us and the wisdom within our very being.
