Darius Bashar, Retreat Facilitator
The Future of Creativity

One of the first things business leaders abandon in a world focused on productivity, automation, and deadlines is creativity. As the tone-setter for our retreat, Darius will guide us on a playful and deep meditative journey to help us reconnect with our creative roots and revive our passion to create. Using his Artist Morning framework, Darius will lead us in group meditation, creative journaling, and heartfelt sharing sessions that will release the tension and ignite our desire to do exactly what we came to do–connect with other business leaders and reconnect with our big why so we can lead our businesses into the future with a renewed energy and passion.
