About the event

GCRD Contemplative Policy Retreat
𝐒𝐀𝐕𝐄 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 | 𝐀𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐥 𝟔-𝟏𝟎, 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔

𝐁𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐓𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐀𝐠𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐀𝐈 & 𝐀𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 Contemplative Policy Retreat | Broughton Sanctuary, Yorkshire Dales

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐆𝐥𝐨𝐛𝐚𝐥 𝐂𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐑𝐞𝐡𝐮𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐃𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐜𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐲 invites 20-25 senior policy leaders to four days of contemplative practice and moral discernment at the intersection of AI governance and democratic renewal.

This is not an AI policy conference. But a protected time to develop the practices that anchor human judgment when algorithms accelerate - practices that prevent leaders from becoming extensions of the systems they're meant to govern.

𝐂𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐐𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬:

→ How do we protect the interior spaces from which wisdom emerges?
→ How do we build trust in the age of algorithms?
→ How do we guard attention and conscience as sacred territory?
→ How do we use AI to serve human flourishing and democratic renewal?

𝐘𝐨𝐮'𝐥𝐥 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐖𝐢𝐭𝐡:

• A personal Rule of Life for sustaining contemplative practice in policy leadership
• Moral discernment frameworks
• Peer accountability networks for ongoing formation
• Facility with tools: centering practices, clearness committees, institutional examen, moral imagination scenarios
• Rest and renewed hope

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐕𝐞𝐧𝐮𝐞:

Broughton Sanctuary - a 3,000-acre historic estate (est. 1097) recognised by National Geographic as one of 2024's most exciting global destinations.

𝐖𝐡𝐨 𝐒𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐀𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐝:

Senior policy officials | Parliamentary representatives | Civil society leaders | Media executives | Academic researchers

𝐅𝐞𝐞𝐬:

Tiered fees from £1850-£2,750. Includes all accommodation, meals, and year-long formation support.

𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐧 𝐅𝐞𝐛𝐫𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝟓, 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔 | Space limited to 20-25 participants. Early booking is encouraged.
