We cannot imagine or create a new world with old patterns of thought and ego-driven ways of being. The crises of our time—ecological, social, and spiritual—ask us to go deeper. They call us to source from love, not fear; from connectedness, not isolation.

Love is not weakness, sentimentality, or escape. Love is power. It is the courage to imagine what does not yet exist, the strength to hold complexity, and the clarity to act for the good of all. Love transforms our inner landscape, healing our relationship with self to change how we use our power to relate to the world. It is this dance of love with power that connects us to spirit, respect and reverence for all beings, seen and unseen. 

This workshop invites change-makers, leaders, entrepreneurs, organizations, and communities to come together in a shared journey of renewal. Through creativity, body-based practices, trauma-informed approaches, and rituals rooted in nature, we will explore how love and power, in balance, can guide us through uncertainty into possibility. 

What You’ll Experience

  • Reimagine love as a force of power, clarity, and change
  • Transform your relationship with self to re-shape your other relationships
  • Cultivate resilience and courage in times of fear and anxiety
  • Explore ways of knowing and connecting to spirit
  • Experience an expansion of heart and community connectedness
  • Discover practices that deepen connection with the natural world
  • Create pathways for more humane, loving, and powerful organizations and communities
  • Access creativity and joy as renewable sources of strength

Who This Program is For

This workshop is for anyone who knows that the world must change—and that change begins with us. It is for:

  • Change-makers, activists, and visionaries
  • Educators, caregivers, therapists, and artists
  • Leaders and entrepreneurs building organizations that honour people and the planet
  • Communities and individuals seeking renewal
  • Anyone longing to live with more love, courage, and power in these uncertain times
  • Together, we will practice a new way of being—awakening love as power, and power as love—so that a new world can emerge through us.
