Proof in practice
In 2025, mothers and sons took part in Spark Circle, a retreat built on REINA. Here is what they told us afterwards, in their own words.
Person
Self and behaviour
“Lewis approached his week with new found strength. I've showered him with compliments, and we've quickly navigated tougher moments. He seems to have stepped towards a more mature self. He's attending ju-jitsu without fear and reflecting on his relationships. Last weekend was a rare chance for deep connection that I'll always cherish. Missing retreat life. Thank you, Ina.”
Mikala & Lewis
Mother and Son, Spark Circle Event Attendee
Relationships
Between parent and child
“My son has been cuddling up to me on the lounge more and jumped into bed with me this morning and we chatted. We are having closer connection because of the retreat!”
Fiona
Mother, Spark Circle Event Attendee
“My favorite part was having time to spend with Brad and to get to see him in a different light through all of the activities”
Pip & Bradley
Mother and Son, Spark Circle Event Attendee
The group
Learning from other families
“I really enjoyed the group discussions and connecting with the mums - hearing about their relationships with their sons, both challenges and good things.”
Laura & Miles
Mother and Son, Spark Circle Event Attendee
The setting
Place, food and facilitation
“This amazing natural setting, eco accommodation, incredible nourishing food, and amazing facilitators - Ina and her team with Rick and Andy - just amazing holding”

These accounts sit at the person and relationship layers of REINA. They are self-reported by attendees of one event series, Spark Circle mother and son events, 2025. We do not offer them as evidence at the organisational or wider-consequence layers, and they are not an audit or a sign-off.
HBA develops systemic collective leadership. Leaders shape human consciousness not by transferring knowledge alone, but by changing how they and others understand, act and lead.
We assess and co-design the organisational ecosystem: culture, conduct, and psychosocial safety climate.
REINA® does not assume that the individual is deficient, or that another policy will solve what an existing policy could not.
The compass – four thresholds
REINA® reads a leader across four domains of life persona, family, community, work at once. A change at one is felt at the others, whether or not it is ever named out loud.
The passage – five stages
Dismantling the persona
Stepping off the treadmill of compounding execution to ground your identity beneath the social mask of authority. We shift the leader's internal stance from the defensive isolation of power-over to the authentic, relational presence of power-with.
Confronting the shadow
Shedding light on the unacknowledged fatigue, stress and unlit spaces routinely buried to maintain the illusion of control. What terms the shadow shows up in corporations as undetected non-financial risk, cultural silence and executive burnout.
Reconciling polarities
Using somatic awareness and transpersonal psychology to bridge the artificial divide between analytical intellect and intuitive wisdom into a harmonised wholeness. We treat the physical body not as a mechanical vehicle to be ignored, but as a highly refined sensory system.
Shared stewardship
Cultivating the high-quality connections and collective intelligence – We-Q – that turn psychological safety from an amenity into a high-trust, risk-smart governance model.
Returning insight to practice
Converting insight into values, decisions, behaviour and commitments that can be tested in the conditions the leader returns to. What changes, who owns it, and whether it holds.
HOME – the person and the life from which professional judgement cannot be completely separated.
BRIDGE – the organisational structures through which judgement becomes collective action.
ALLIANCE – the wider relationships and systems affected by those actions.
Behaviour. Performance. Wellbeing. Psychosocial hazards. Conduct and controls. Each can be assessed independently. HBA tests how they interact, then carries that evidence through intervention, evaluation and re-test as one integrated cycle.
HBA complements formal audit. We do not replace it, and this is not a sign-off.
