Feminine Leadership

Introduction

“A good leader is one, who by their presence, increases the capacity for excellence in others,
so that this excellence continues in the presence or absence of the leader. Women do this very well.”
- John W. Maxwell

According to The Athena Doctrine: How Women (and the Men Who Think Like Them) Will Rule the Future by John Gerzema and Michael D’Antonio, the following data was shared: “We surveyed 64,000 people from 13 countries and asked this question: “What is the fundamental Operating System of success in the 21st Century?”

Conclusion: 75% of those surveyed agreed that values associated with the Feminine, i.e. care, connecting, collaborating, inclusiveness, flexibility, listening, sharing, mutuality-- redefining success in every realm-- are what will determine success in the 21st century.

The future is Feminine in men and women. Enlightened Feminine Leadership prepares women (and men) to be successful in the 21st Century through the use of ‘soft power,’ relationships and holistic connections instead of separation and isolation.

OUR LOCATION

Sangha by Octave is a mere 1.5 hours away from Shanghai. As an immersive ex-urban retreat location in Suzhou, Sangha is surrounded by water where ancient Wu culture first started. Suzhou is a symbol in China for the artistic, cultural, sophisticated and mindful lifestyle.

Sangha spreads over 189,000 square meters of lakefront peninsula on Suzhou’s Yangcheng Lake.  It is a place for mindful learning designed to enhance your connection with yourself, with others and with nature. Sangha is the distillation of decades of reflection by Octave’s Founder & CEO Chavalit Fred Tsao and is viewed by him as “an expression of a world-view where evolution is supported, and where consciousness can shift to embrace wholeness and connectedness.”

Sangha is an integrated complex of wellness residences and learning facilities consciously created by master architect Calvin Tsao to be the embodiment of a vision of how such a community might work. One of the spaces within Sangha - The Sanctuary - has won numerous architectural awards for its stunning design, elaborate interiors and exteriors, including UK Blueprint Awards, 2017 APIDA, the A&D Trophy Awards.

Built with natural materials, Octave’s aesthetics and design choices for Sangha re-think the whole idea of space utilization, reconsidering the balance between personal space and communal space, to create a greater sense of closeness, of community.
