Development for a more conscious world
"It is accelerated inner development that helps us navigate well through the increasingly complex and changing outer world"
Upcoming programs and retreats
Three Sundays with Carl and Sofia – a conversation series about hope in difficult times (only in Swedish)
How can you find hope in a time that feels dark? Where do you turn when the world feels unsafe? How can a simplified life become a tool for change and contribute to sustainable faith in the future?
These questions and many more will be raised during the conversations between Carl and Sofia. We hope that the three Sundays will become hopeful havens for reflection, but that they will also inspire courage and action as we together build a brighter and more trusting society.
A warm welcome on 13/4, 4/5 and 25/5.
Retreat with peace-pilgrim Satish Kumar - Soil. Soul. Society. (5-7/9, 2025)
Satish Kumar has been inspiring global change for over 50 years. Satish founded The Resurgence Trust, an educational charity that seeks to inform and inspire a just future for all. Through his teachings, Satish passionately shares visions of the more beautiful world our hearts know is possible.
Autumn retreat with Carl Lindeborg - Meditation, reflection, and stillness (28-30/11, 2025)
Take a break from the intensity of everyday life and give yourself a weekend filled with reflection, meditation and stillness. From November 28 to 30, Carl invites you to Lindeborg's Eco Retreat, where together we create space to fill up with energy, calm and clarity.
Retreat with Buddhist monk Gelong Thubten - Meditation for fearless living (Preliminary January 2026)
This retreat offers a unique opportunity to learn from one of the UK’s most influential teachers of meditation and mindfulness, a 3-day deep-dive into the Buddhist practices and philosophy presented in Gelong Thubten’s latest book, ‘Handbook for Hard Times - a monk’s guide to fearless living’.
Development program with Carl Lindeborg - Realisation: vision, courage, and the change process (9-11/2, 2026)
In the complex times we live in, we need to continuously become something more than we were before. People, organisations and societies do not only need gradual change and adaptation, but real transformation. In this program we focus on thinking big, preparing for effective implementation, and mastering the change process.
More about me
"Dreams inspire and activate. They make people come alive and embark on journeys of discovery towards the difficult and the meaningful. This is what leadership is, taking a risk for something worth risking it for, inspiring others through your own being and endeavour."
For more than twenty years, Carl has worked with people and organisations as an advisor, consultant and teacher, both in Sweden and internationally.
He regularly leads development programs at Lindeborg's Eco Retreat, and has extensive experience as a program leader at SSE Executive Education, Oxford Leadership and Companions for Leadership.
He has also been a guest speaker at Harvard Business School and published some 25 articles in the Swedish business magazine Affärsvärlden.
Carl has a Master of Science degree from the Stockholm School of Economics and started his career as a management consultant. He wrote his first book in 2007, after making a major change in his own life.
Deeply curious about human development, Carl has sought out learning in many places, from studying with the Dalai Lama at his home in Dharamsala to participating in global networks such as Conscious Capitalism.
Alongside his wife Julia, he runs an innovative organic retreat near Stockholm, Sweden.
