- How can I find more inspiration and more energy in my life?
The Leadership Archetypes
We help each person interface with the normal fray of life through four fundamental leadership stances and their associated practical applications. When these are fully inhabited, we have the inner resourcefulness to respond with assurance to just about anything. These stances access an ever-present field of creative possibility that underlies all difficult and stuck places.
The Place of Intuition is home to our emotional IQ, where reliable perceptions of critical non-physical factors inform us through our bodies. The ability to stand in another’s shoes, and our spontaneous playful selves reside here.
The Place of Truth is deeply rooted in the earth: practical and honest. Draws clear boundaries, assesses risk and voices what needs to be spoken.
The Place of Perspective is the dispassionate overview that can discern cycles and patterns, reframe problems, learn quickly and embrace complexity.
In The Place of Vision and Purpose one sees through surface disturbance to the benevolent and worthy essence of one’s own self the gifts of others. From here we maintain the sanctity of the core mission of all endeavors, and hold the continuity of past, present and future.
Origins
The CIYO program has grown from the personal needs of woman coming from various origins, who have their roots in International businesses as well as in different indigenous wisdom traditions from South Africa, North-America and Europe. It is co-founded by Barbara Cecil from The Ashland Institute.

CIYO is a journey to wholeness under the guidance of three unique coaches. Together they form a whole, each giving a specific input. This retreat brought a lot to me; I learned among other things from my own female strength to take my leadership position and to be able to lead from my own energy and values rather than from control. Wonderful to experience how the power of women can help you become who you are.
Nicolien Joosen
HR Director – Cargill
“Grounding myself in my values and growing in self-confidence to lead from those values in order to create the impact is what I was looking for. Joining the retreat means you are touching your field of potential and that your power as female leader can be released when you walk out of the retreat. For every woman that feels the need to grow in her leadership journey, the CIYO Leadership retreat is a true blessing. If you would like to hear more I would encourage you to reach out to one of the facilitators to explore how this experience can become part of your journey!”
Women should show up in all their blessed femininity.
