Growth
... is a Collective Journey!
What if personal growth was a key piece in the transformation of the world?
We evolve and become whole in connection, with our challenges being part of a larger journey where meaning and purpose emerge from the living ecologies we're embedded in.
Growth and healing don't happen within us while we are fixated on our selves. They manifest through relationships and challenges, while we are embedded within an infinite ecology of change.
Unfolding through self-inquiry, as we see ourselves as participants in countless layers of cultural, relational, professional and ecological contexts, holding deep awareness of our relational context.
We want to be your guide and collaborator in your journey towards a more holistic life that you meet with confidence and agency. Are you ready to embrace possibility, and participate fully in the sacred evolution of life?
Welcome
This space is dedicated to collective evolution
What is The Institute?
The Institute for Collective Development is a space dedicated to personal and collective growth with a systemic and ecological perspective. We understand human development as an expression of an evolving living ecology in which separation is merely a transitory experience, not an absolute truth. The institute isn't just a business, it is a collaborative platform that connects you with integral thinkers, coaches, facilitators, consultants, and teachers who have dedicated their work to the field of collective development, the evolution of a whole living planet.
Collective development requires multi-perspectivism, diversity and an inter-disciplinary and trans-contextual approach. It needs constant engagement with the unconscious shadow aspects of our knowledge and our culture to uncover the blind spots that keep us stuck in repetition of suffering and polarization. And it is about nothing less then bringing the sacred back into our lives.
That's why Lennart Hennig decided to set the ICD up as a collaborative platform that brings together talented and dedicated leaders in the field that are united by and dedicated to a single common mission: enabling individuals and organizations to participate in the collective evolution of humanity towards becoming a fully conscious member of the interdependent ecology of this living and conscious planet. Together they create spaces that are dedicated to profound transformation and development for all sectors of humanity, professional and private, eventually dissolving those artificial boundaries so we can start interacting in a holistic way with each other and the ecology at large, no matter in what area of life we find ourselves in in any given moment.

Who is Lennart Hennig?
Lennart is a growth and leadership facilitator. He is dedicated to provide space for individuals and organizations and their participation in the collective development of humanity within the larger living ecology of the cosmos.
His guiding perspectives in this endeavor are consciousness, embodiment, safety, trauma, and deep ecology using an integral framework of the whole, undivided cosmos.
His deepest inquiry is the potential we tap into when we dissolve the paradigm of separation that is underneath our identity and our whole culture, and begin embodying and integrating the idea of wholeness into our sense of self and our actions.
Accepting and integrating every part of our being, embracing our full human experience and walking towards a state of authenticity and vulnerability from where we recognize the profound interdependency we are a part of. He is particularly intrigued by the alchemical potential our collective and individual wounding and shadows hold for us, when we start honoring death and darkness as a place of growth and rebirth, and how we can step into a dialectical relationship towards more truth instead of polarization on the foundation of an internally regulated somatic sense of safety.
Bringing the principles of liberation, love, and leadership to individuals and organizations wanting to act from their true purpose as a conscious element of the whole cosmos is at the core of his work.
