Spiritual Resilience
at Castillo Moro, Tenerife
June 25th - June 30th, 2025
Spiritual Resilience: An embodied practice to deepen resilience with coherence and awareness in your life, work and purpose.
Spiritual Resilience is the ability to find meaning, purpose, belonging, and connection to something larger than ourselves in the face of adversity. Spiritual Resilience helps us to reconnect with the clarity, strength, compassion, wisdom, and skillful collaborative action that come from an open heart.
༄
Under the guidance of Tibetan lama and scholar Khenpo Samdup Rinpoche and entrepreneur and meditation practitioner Álvaro Guirao, our annual Compassionate Leadership retreat has evolved into the Spiritual Resilience retreat to adapt to the current uncertain times we are living, in a world demanding rapid adaption, this retreat is designed to introduce participants into the theory and practice of Tibetan Buddhism as a powerful tool to radically shift our perspective and deepen our toolkit to become the aware and spiritually resilient leaders the world so urgently needs.
This immersive 6-days retreat provides in-depth training for leaders, using a powerful framework for advanced self-awareness and resilient decision-making based on the millenary wisdom and practice of Shamata, Vipassana and Mahamudra.

Meditation practice is my personal tool to (re-)gain control over any given situation.
¨The Compassionate Leadership Retreat was a transformative blend of Dharma, Tibetan Buddhism, and conscious leadership. It enhanced my sense of purpose, decision-making, self-awareness, and empathy. I left feeling empowered and equipped to create a supportive work environment. A must for leaders seeking compassion and integrity.¨
Dr. Roland Pfister, Chief of Staff Air Defense, Swiss Air Force, Switzerland
Our Method
Spiritual Resilience is an approach to Conscious Leadership that is rooted in the principles of Dharma and Tibetan Buddhism.

Now, we are teaming up with top Dharma Teachers and Leadership Coaches to unveil a new approach to Conscious Leadership.
The Pillars
Clarity of Purpose: Sharpen your sense of purpose and meaning to make decisions aligned with your values and beliefs.
Virtuous Decision-Making: Understand the causes and conditions of virtue and non-virtue in decision frameworks, and take clear, virtuous action to bring about positive transformation to all your relations.
Mindful Leadership: Increase awareness of your own thoughts, feelings, and actions to become a more resilient, adaptable, and mindful leader.
Empathy and Connection: Cultivate equanimity, generosity, empathy and meaningful connection to others in order to create more positive and supportive work environments, foster stronger relationships, and inspire your teams to work together towards a common, greater goal.
