„The most exciting breakthroughs of the 21st century will not occur because of technology but because of an expanding concept of what it means to be human.“

John Naisbitt, Megatrends

The last two years have turned our world upside down: climate change, the Covid pandemic, the war in Ukraine, digitalization are just a few examples of mounting challenges we are facing today. And the list piles up daily and appear to dim prospects of our futures.

Davos is known for bringing world leaders together for the most salient questions. Yet, what are the personal and local implications of the global agenda and vice versa?Are we connecting to the experience of future generations?

THE SPIRIT OF DAVOS: SHAPING THE HEARTS OF OUR FUTURES is an exclusive 2 days retreat, dialogue and coaching workshop on the mountains of Davos at the dawn of the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting 2023 with the cooperation of The House of Balance @ WEF23. It addresses probably one of the most pressing questions of our time: What does it take to shape our futures?

THE SPIRIT OF DAVOS provides a unique space to share what matters to you the most and discover new ways to shape and experience the future today - in your personal life, local community or work and business environment.

A Unique Setting

What makes THE SPIRIT OF DAVOS unique that most of the dialogue and workshop takes place on the mountains of Davos.

We start the event with a fire site chat on the evening of January 14, 2023 at the breathtaking Schatzalp above the city of Davos. The second part of the event on January 15, 2023 takes place on skis or snowboard in the beautiful Parsenn ski resort of Davos.

Exclusive Circle of Game Changers

This coaching workshop is limited in size to allow for personal and intensive dialogues. We welcome executives, game changers, WEF attendees and everyone who cares about our futures.

Holistic Experience

THE SPIRIT OF DAVOS gives you a holistic experience for your heart, mind and body while replenishing your energy reserves.

We let you share and (re)discover what it means to be(come) human.

We take you on a journey away from your stressed minds to feeling your bodies and discovering your hearts.

We then explore how to integrate this experience into your daily lives and shape futures today. It is not a future dictated by technology or "those above" or "other unknown entities". It is a future that is created and shaped by us humans. This future is human.

What you will learn

At the end of the event you will understand

• how to re-connect with your own human core as a navigator to shape our futures
• how to integrate your human core in daily personal and business life
• the MVP approach, a practical method to shed light on decisive drivers of change
• what it takes to become a conscious and transformational leader in the 21st century

Last but not least, you will have lots of fun in the beautiful nature of Davos, make new connections and charge your batteries for the WEF Annual Meeting and events in Davos.

Target Audience

We welcome executives, game changers, WEF attendees and everyone who wants to actively participate in shaping a human future; regardless of whether you attend the WEF Annual Meeting 2023. Davos locals are highly welcome.
