Course in undisturbed surroundings
Hærvejsøen
A forest property deep down a gravel road. A large, bright main building from 2017 and a dining and sleeping area from 2023, with not a single white wall and even higher ceilings. Plenty of space and tranquility. This is how you will experience Leadership Lighthouse’s course property on Hærvejen, just a short half-hour drive from Vejle, Billund, Herning, and Horsens.
The course property was, until 2004, one of the quietest places in Jutland and has been owned by the Skovmand Fogh family since 1964.
No matter where you are on the 22 hectares, you can't see any other buildings. You still can't, but in 2004, the silence stopped, and since then, the sound from the Midtjyske Motorway has continuously echoed in the background. That’s why we call the place Hærvejsøen.
The motorway has taught us something important. After cursing the noise for a few years, we chose to accept the sound. Instead of giving it a negative meaning, we decided that, in a way, it was the sound of a crashing sea. The lesson was clear and simple: We cannot change the events around us, but we have control over the meaning we assign to them. It seems fittingly symbolic to realize this while we are on a course property.

Course: Midt i Livet
12 months of development for the rest of your life
Content: Midt i Livet is a concentrated development boost for you, if you feel your ambitions, hopes, and dreams calling out to you. Perhaps you haven't truly listened yet. Midt i Livet is also a physical wake-up call. You will learn about the latest midlife theories, which highlight how you can thrive and stay active, both mentally and physically, well into adulthood.
- What do you want from your working life?
- How is your personal life functioning?
- How close are you to what you dreamed of when you were 25?
- What are you willing to change now, before it’s too late?
In 24 intense hours, you will look both inward and forward. Some of the time will be spent alone, but most of it will be as part of a confidential workgroup of no more than 10 people.
Midt i Livet is 24 intense hours and also a full year of learning and development. After the first 24 hours, you will meet online with your group for one hour each month. You will share how far you’ve come in your individual development journey and receive feedback from the other participants. Additionally, you will get new theories and inspiration from the instructors.
The conclusion of the Midt i Livet program is another 24 new Midt i Livet hours, exactly 12 months after the first 24 hours. A finale that helps you move forward in life, more clear and knowledgeable about yourself.
The Midt i Livet day is inspired by the research of American Harvard professor Robert Kegan on developmental stages in adulthood – focusing on both professional and personal life. You will experience new perspectives on development theory, practical exercises, nature, music, and a combination of fast-paced activity and time for quiet reflection.
"One of the qualities of being past the early years of youth and still a distance from old age is that here – in the middle of life – we can truly step into character. We have accumulated a certain amount of life experience and self-awareness, and we know that life passes quickly. We seek meaning and integrity, both professionally and personally. What is common for most of us is a desire to find our life’s purpose. The place where we know we are living in a way that we won’t regret later."

Expected outcomes
You will be appropriately challenged in a way that forces you to see yourselves from perspectives you may not have considered before, both as individuals and as a family. You will learn new ways of conversing and collaborating. You will be inspired and constructively disturbed by witnessing how other fathers and sons experience joy and challenges with each other. You will also be invited to make some binding decisions that will help you stay committed to each other moving forward.

Course: Father and son
Your unique story, together and individually.
Numerous studies show that when people in old age look back on their lives, there is one thing they wish they had prioritized more: More time with their closest loved ones. This is where the ultimate joy and life satisfaction are found. Paradoxically, many of us choose instead to immerse ourselves in work, hobbies, and tasks we feel obligated to in our daily lives.
For all you fathers and sons, here is a chance for a dose of raw joy and meaningful connection. A full day where you get (even) closer to each other and gain new perspectives on yourselves as father/son. You will meet a small group of other fathers and sons, who, through their individual stories, will both challenge and inspire you.
Content: The Father & Son course is an intense and varied 24 hours, with a program during all waking hours. We work based on five shifts:
- Personal stories
- Practical challenges in the surrounding nature
- Theory from literature and psychology
- Exercises: father and son alone, as well as fathers together and sons together
- A Look Ahead task with the opportunity for binding decisions.
