A Place to Step Away—and Come Back Revived
Nestled on 83 acres near Bowling Green, Missouri, The Farm offers a nature-inspired respite away from the pace, pressure, and patterns of corporate life. Here, leaders slow down enough to listen more deeply, see more clearly, and imagine more boldly—unshackled from daily demands and expectations.
At its heart, The Farm is a place to be free and share.
"It is the marriage of the soul with Nature that makes the intellect fruitful, and gives birth to imagination." ~ Henry David Thoreau
Shift-Point Experiences
Workshops and Retreats at Leadership Farm are designed to be a shift-point—where old patterns loosen their grip and new possibilities emerge.
Teams come to The Farm to do real work in nature's classroom on a wide range of topics.
Each topic includes micro-lessons of content drawn from:
- Leading-edge leadership and innovation methods
- The neuroscience of human behavior
- Living systems principles and research
Followed by immediate application working on real-world issues and challenges.
The goal is for teams to leave feeling grounded, connected, and inspired … ready to turn tangible concepts and plans into action that drives an impact.
Nature is a Great Teacher
Nature is not a backdrop at The Farm.
It is the teacher.
Walking the trails, sitting by the ponds, and gathering under open skies, leaders experience living systems first hand—systems that thrive through connection, balance, diversity, and renewal.
The Farm offers:
- Quiet trails for reflective walks and meaningful conversation
- Open fields and woodlands that invite stillness and perspective
- Ponds and natural spaces that foster presence and gratitude
- Gathering spaces designed for honest dialogue, learning, and creativity
In these settings, leaders reconnect with a deeper sense of grounding and gratitude—fueling life-giving creativity and innovation that is both revitalizing and impactful.
