Eight weeks to the rituals you need

Turn your wisdom into practice. Bring depth, connection, and transformation to your leadership programme.

Over eight weeks, I guide you through ritualized discovery while leading the design of three core rituals that align with your vision.

By the end, you’ll have the foundation of a ritual framework that supports your programme’s flow and resonance, helping participants fully experience and embody the journey you’re guiding.

the impact

Shift from Information to Transformation – Move participants beyond theory into embodied learning that reshapes their sense of being.

Create A Strong Container – Open and close with intention to orient participants and help them integrate their experiences.

Offer A Unifying Core Practice – Provide a meaningful ritual anchor that deepens engagement and supports the journey of becoming.

Go From Group to Tribe – Build belonging and shared purpose.

Anchor Big Ideas in Experience – Turn abstract concepts into concrete, liveable experiences.

I turned to Viktor to help me create bespoke rituals for my Evolving Leadership programme. It was clear to me that something was missing, but I wasn't quite sure what.

His gentle inquiry brought this to light, and he offered me highly perceptive ways of enhancing the programme participants' learning experience. In the process I have learned things that have deepened my understanding of my own work.

Highly recommended! Working with Viktor is a privilege and a joy​​

Who is it for?

You’re a visionary programme creator who’s built something powerful and senses it could have more depth and transformative impact.​

You see the potential of ritual but aren’t sure how to integrate it as an essential part of your work.

You want a stronger container for transformation, with intentional openings, closings, and a core practice that keeps participants engaged throughout.

how it works

Our work together is a collaboration. Over eight weeks*, we follow a process that balances space for discovery with a clear path to a powerful outcome.

I take the lead in designing the rituals, shaping them to flow naturally within your programme, while supporting you in deepening your understanding of your offer.

Your role is to stay connected to your programme’s vision and hold authority over its direction. The assignments I give will strengthen your connection to your own wisdom, help you see through your participants’ eyes, and activate your creative intuition.

After our initial creative work concludes, we’ll stay connected and continue refining what we’ve created, drawing on the reflective feedback from your participants.

* The timeline can be adjusted based on our availability and what the process requires.

Golden Water Ripples

Week 01

The Opening

Our first week is about attunement. We take time to connect and explore your vision, tending to the conditions for the rituals to emerge directly from your practice.

ASSIGNMENTS
Connecting to Your Stream of Wisdom | Remembering the Formative Moments

WEEK 02

The Initiation

With attunement in place and the connection to the wisdom that drives your practice established, we turn our focus to how this can be opened to your participants. In our second week together, we explore and fully step into the work that is ours to do. Together, we begin taking steps to manifest your programme’s core practice, allowing it to become an anchor point for our collaboration and a living prototype in our creative process.

WEEK 03

THE UNFOLDING

In our third week, we meet a group of deeply moved participants at that moment when it’s clear the programme is over, but they haven’t fully left yet. They linger in that beautiful afterglow, finding it difficult to say goodbye. From this point, we walk backwards through their journey, exploring your programme and how our ritual designs can be woven into it.
 

ASSIGNMENTS
Embodying the Participant | Embodying the Role Model

WEEK 04

The Creative Cauldron

In week four, we are entering the heart of the creative process. The symbolic landscape of your programme is vividly present, and the seeds we’ve planted are beginning to sprout. Your core practice is maturing, and we’re applying design principles as we take significant steps that will result in the prototype for your opening ceremony.

WEEK 05

Refining the Prototype

Building on what we've learned from the first iteration of prototyping, we refine the ritual design and begin preparing to share it with your participants. In the second round of prototyping, you'll deliver the opening ceremony and the core practice to trusted individuals who can provide valuable external feedback. This helps us create ritual instructions that are both easy to understand and enjoyable to engage with.
 

ASSIGNMENTS
External Prototyping | Evaluation

WEEK 06

Bringing it Together

As we bring the core practice and opening ceremony towards their final form, we're ready to begin developing the closing ceremony and two distinct versions of the core practice: one for Integration and one for Invocation.

 

We do this while revisiting the gestalt of your overall programme and continue the work of making the rituals flow naturally within it.
 

ASSIGNMENTS

Backwards Meditation | Personal Practice

Sand Dunes
Footprints in the Sand

Week 07

Towards a Beginning

In week seven, we prepare for delivery and make room for the emergent qualities of our collaboration. This is the time to address any questions you have and ensure you feel clear and confident.

We’ll also focus on participant engagement and explore ways to lower the threshold for participation.
 

ASSIGNMENTS 

Packaging Deliverables | Personal Practice

Week 08

THE CLOSING

In week eight, we focus on the final version of your closing ceremony. This week takes place in the middle stages of your programme’s delivery - Allowing us to draw upon your direct connection with your participants and their responses to the previous rituals. Giving us the flexibility to adapt and ensure the closing reflects the journey they’ve been on.
