About this event

Join us at Land aan Zee, NL from Oct 14 to Oct 18 for a relaxed, creative gathering where experienced Solution Focus practitioners in organisations spark fresh insights and evolve the approach. It’s a space for original thinking and exploring “big ideas,” for asking unusual and even provocative questions, and for taking time to let new possibilities emerge — all in a beautiful and inspiring setting that invites reflection and renewal.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT

To learn and grow:

• Expand your SF thinking – see it as a living, evolving way to meet complex challenges
• Deepen your presence – listen, notice, and trust what emerges in real dialogue
• Broaden your application – bring Solution Focus into leadership, learning, and wider society
• Reconnect with purpose – rediscover what first drew you to Solution Focus and why it matters even more now

To explore with others

Have dialogue and discussion on threads of conversation such as:

• Evolving the approach – stretching the boundaries of SF to keep it fresh and relevant
• Connecting different ideas – weaving SF with complementary perspectives to enrich practice
• Exploring big opportunities – what we might achieve with SF in the medium to long term
• Nurturing community – tending the relationships that keep our shared intelligence vibrant and growing
• Taking steps – work on ideas to progress from the University

Relax and recharge

Time dedicated in the day time programme to

• Reflect and unwind in the centre
• Escape into nature by the sea or in the countryside
• Socialise in an energising atmosphere

Before the event, we will shape the format with you, leaving space in the agenda to consider the progressing of ideas. Expect a mix of lively activities, e.g. World Café to Conversation Hotspots, Mapping the Landscape, and Spiral Inquiry. Each helps ideas come alive, sparks curiosity, and moves us towards progress.
