Anew is coming to Asia!

In February 2026, we’re partnering with Spark Inbox to bring the Anew School of Leadership to Sri Lanka.

This three-day retreat for leaders across the region and the world is designed to be a space to pause, reflect, and reconnect with your purpose as a leader.

Because leadership doesn’t have to be about sheer endurance and ultimately burnout.
It can be about calm clarity, connection, and courage.

Anew School of Leadership
Date: 5-7 February 2026
Cost: €750 pp
