Tierra Sabia is an experiential leadership program set in nature that aims to create a movement for systemic change in the nonprofit sector—one that transforms the way organizations are structured, operate, and collaborate by reconnecting with nature and incorporating regenerative leadership into their work.
Located in the heart of the Catalan Pyrenees, this program offers a unique experience where participants immerse themselves in nature, learn from it, and connect with colleagues from their organization and other institutions. Through physical, intellectual, and introspective activities, participants acquire tools for regenerative leadership and explore new ways to address the challenges of today’s world.
Tierra Sabia, thanks to funding from the Germina Foundation, was held for leaders and professionals in the nonprofit sector who seek to drive positive change in their organizations and communities.
The main tools that participants have gained from this program are:
- To be part of a movement of third-sector organizations committed to driving the systemic change needed to achieve the planet’s sustainability and regeneration
- Implement principles of regenerative leadership in your life and work
- Connecting with new sources of knowledge by learning from nature
- Learning to lead with greater awareness, drawing on new qualities such as resilience, adaptability, and systemic awareness

I found it very powerful and effective to work with an approach focused on fostering connection on three levels: with oneself, with others, and with nature. I really enjoyed the group and the dynamic that developed.

The innovative nature of the program. I don’t know of any other program with similar content, and there’s a real need for spaces where we can connect with nature and with other professionals in this way—based on trust, intimacy, and a more meaningful and profound exchange than what typically occurs in other training or networking settings.

The balance between physical activity, moments of meditation and personal connection with the environment, moments of collective reflection, and the relationship with participants and facilitators.

Disconnecting from the digital world and connecting with nature; activities that involve direct contact with nature (being alone, river rafting, and mountain climbing); and having the space to be with oneself and with others who are going through a similar experience.
