RELEASE YOUR POTENTIAL

Release Your Potential

For Inner Island Online, we created a six-week holistic program for our global community at a time when travel was limited during the pandemic. This transformative experience provided a structured and supportive environment for participants to engage in deep personal and professional development from wherever they were in the world.

The program was designed to establish continuity in personal growth by combining facilitated online sessions, peer coaching, guided exercises, and optional daily meditation. Participants worked consistently on their projects over six weeks, experiencing the power of mind training, a supportive community, and the courage to move toward a meaningful future.

Program Structure

Each live session started with a meditation to help participants ground themselves. The sessions then progressed through a reflective check-in, followed by topic-specific exercises conducted both individually and in breakout groups. The workshops concluded with homework instructions and a Q&A to ensure participants had all necessary materials for the week ahead.

Between sessions, participants engaged in peer coaching groups, fostering a sense of accountability and support. These structured check-ins allowed them to share insights, challenges, and breakthroughs as they progressed through the program.

Methodology

Inner Island Online was designed as an investment in personal growth, allowing participants to identify and overcome the key challenges that were limiting them.

The program combined transformation design, proactive planning, appreciative inquiry, strategy development, peer coaching, and guided mindfulness meditation—bringing together tools from contemporary business contexts with ancient wisdom practices.

By integrating these diverse methodologies, we aimed to disrupt conventional thinking patterns, inspire fresh insights, and create breakthrough moments. The holistic Future Design Process provided a structured yet flexible path, helping participants clarify their vision, values, and concrete next steps.

Raja Ampat,  Indonesia

The Journey Starts With You

The Journey Starts With You

For Inner Island Raja Ampat, we created a bespoke 10-day holistic program at Raja Ampat, which is located off the northwest tip of Bird’s Head Peninsula on the island of New Guinea, in Indonesia’s West Papua province.

The daily workshop was integrated with yoga practice, Inner Guidance sessions and peer-coaching. At Inner Island, we put a lot of emphasis on preparing a holistic and systemic approach where all elements of the day complement each other and are aligned with the workshop theme of the day:

The concept comes with experienced and dedicated facilitators but does not involve charismatic teachers or coaches giving Lectures from a stage. Instead, the co-creative peer-to-peer approach and the holistic setup creates a very unique learning environment. It is the collective power of the group that will make the difference. Every participant is dedicating their valuable time and has made an effort to reach this remote destination. This joint effort, the stunning nature, and the shared motivation set the power field where transformative magic will happen.

During this retreat, we had participants from 10 different nationalities hailing from Finland, Sweden, Norway, Netherlands, UK, Switzerland, France, Chile, Romania and the U.S.

Facilitators

Henrik Johansson, Process Designer and Facilitator
Henrik’s role as facilitator revolves around developing an optimal framework and conditions for the participants to reach their full potential by providing a route, methods and establish a culture of creativity and flow so development can take place.

Amir Jaan, Yoga Teacher
Amir’s nearly two-decades-long dedication to his yogic practice has taken him from London to a touring teacher across the world. At Inner Island Raja Ampat, Amir guided the morning yoga sessions, connected to the daily workshop theme.

Location

Raja Ampat archipelago comprises over 1,500 small islands, bays, and shoals surrounding the four main islands of Misool, Salawati, Batanta, and Waigeo, and the smaller island of Kofiau. Raja Ampat contains the largest marine national park in Indonesia.

If the world’s biodiversity was a dartboard, Raja Ampat would be Bull’s Eye: the much sought after and hard-hit point in the centre of the board. Researchers have found individual reefs here with greater species richness than the whole of the Mediterranean. Everything from blue whales to pygmy seahorses and pedestrian eagles is found in Raja Ampat – plus 76 percent of all known coral species. The area is as dramatic above the surface as below, and kayaking is an exciting way to enjoy the incredibly varied and rich marine environment.

Doberai Eco Resort is the one and only resort in Raja Ampat that occupies an exclusive island privately, named Urai, only 20 minutes from Waisai, the Capital City of Raja Ampat district. Exclusivity and privacy are guaranteed.

ANDAMAN ISLANDS, INDIA

Creating Space for Meaningful Futures

Creating Space for Meaningful Futures

Inner Island Andaman was a 10-day long transformative retreat combining personal growth processes and facilitated co-creative and holistic practices on a remote tropical castaway island located in the Andaman Islands. The ten-day-long program was held on Dec 27th 2014 – Jan 5th 2015 and gathered 20 participants from six countries.

The theme of Inner Island Andaman was Creating Space for Meaningful Futures. We explored the causes and conditions of space-creation as well as it’s relation to letting go.

The campers were guided and facilitated through learning experiences utilizing co-creation methods, teachings sessions and collective reflection. Each participant brought and shared one personal challenge, which was solved collectively. An important part of the program was to build the physical campsite-infrastructure together.

Yoga sessions were designed and led by Iituli Aalto, certificated teacher in Astanga, Rocket and Flow Yoga.
The meditation module was conducted by London-based Tibetan Buddhist monk and teacher Lama Chödrak.
He also offered Shiatsu and Seiki Soho.

Location

The Andaman Islands form an archipelago in the Bay of Bengal between India to the west, and Myanmar, to the north and east. The archipelago consists of over 350 islands of exceptional beauty and conservation importance, governed as part of the Indian Subcontinent.

Biologists have identified about 250 species of birds, 85 of reptiles, 60 of mammals and thousands of invertebrates and plants, of which more than a quarter are still found nowhere else in the World. The islands are also home to five ancient indigenous tribes. The Andaman and Nicobar archipelago is fringed by spectacular coral reefs which support many species of fish, marine mammals, coelenterates, molluscs, crustaceans, sea snakes and sea turtles.

"A magic place, process and people to explore and launch your dreams for a better you and a better world.
Your Inner island tribe will be one you have for life."
