Systemic Renewal Residency 2025

You are warmly invited to join us for this year's Systemic Renewal Residency at the Caux Palace, Switzerland, from 10 to 13 November 2025.

About

We look forward to welcoming you to our annual immersion experience in personal and strategic renewal, organised in partnership with Systemic Renewal, for exceptional change leaders, who sometimes feel overwhelmed.

This residential is designed for committed, hardworking change leaders who find themselves pondering a change of career, stepping sideways into starting a meditation studio or just moving to a farm!! These ideas circle for all of us from time to time, because the cost of leading change from within systems is high. This residential is our way of sowing into leaders who have the gifts and vision to make a difference, but could use a reset once a year. 

Whether you are already a certified Renewalist, currently completing your certification, or just interested in dipping your toes, we know that our Residency can offer you a renewed sense of your personal vocation, space to shake-off the residue that comes with working in the ‘trenches’ of change leadership, and meaningful strategies to win the battles you face.

At Caux, you will have the opportunity to:

• Receive personalised support to develop renewed change strategies for your context;
• Practice our evidence-based framework with a global community of Renewalists; and
• Take time to rest, explore and enjoy the Caux Palace near Montreux, Switzerland, and have dinner at the award-winning local restaurant Le CouCou.

Meet the organiser

Heather Cetrangolo (Australia) is a dedicated systems change researcher and the visionary behind Systemic Renewal, who passionately advocates for a particular breed of change leaders that often goes unnoticed—the 'Renewalists.' These unsung heroes specialise in rebuilding broken systems from within, a role Heather has embraced throughout her professional life.

With two decades of experience, Heather has applied her skills in various challenging contexts, such as:

• Strategising with international student support teams through escalating rates of suicide and mental health incidents;
• Revitalising schools by reinventing outdated mission and vision statements
• Leading faith-based communities recovering from abuse by past leaders
• Guiding non-profit organisations facing liquidation
• Facilitating a legal support service for socially disadvantaged clients unable to access Legal Aid.

Her groundbreaking, trademarked programme was crafted collaboratively with global leaders at the Caux Palace in Switzerland. Now, Heather is extending her transformative approach to corporate, government, and non-profit sectors.

Heather holds degrees in Law, Theology, Education, and Leadership Studies. Currently completing a PhD, she is developing a pedagogy for systems change inspired by Franciscan social reform.

Resilient like her namesake, 'Heather,' she has learned to flourish in harsh conditions. As a victim survivor, Heather believes that no one and no situation is ever too far gone.
