'We need activated citizens with the courage to create a politics worthy of the human spirit.’ - Parker J Palmer

What does ‘a politics worthy of the human spirit’ mean to you? And what would it look like for you to embody it?

Amidst the manifold global crisis, leadership is more important than ever. And as we begin to appreciate the complex interdependence of everything, the question is not just about how to elect or create better leaders, but about how to create leadership for the world, together.

As the source of our creativity and our capacity to transform ourselves and the world, the soul is a vital & often missing dimension of leadership. As environmental lawyer and advocate Gus Speth famously said:  

"I used to think that the top environmental problems were biodiversity loss, ecosystem collapse and climate change. I thought that 30yrs of good science could address these problems. I was wrong. The top environmental problems are selfishness, greed and apathy, and to deal with these, we need a cultural and spiritual transformation and we scientists don’t know how to do that." 


In this session we will explore leadership from an existential perspective, enquiring into what it means to be human, and from there, what it means to serve humanity’s evolution. 

…………………………………

What to expect:

  • Enquiry questions, discussion and sharing in breakout rooms to help you connect to what leadership and the soul mean to you.
  • A short talk on Soulful Leadership with reference to multiple psycho-spiritual models and materials
  • Meditation, visualisation and poetic evocation to stir your soul and awaken your authentic desire.

This workshop will offer a meaningful introduction to the concept of soulful leadership. The next intimate three month coaching journey designed to call forth the powerful, soulful leader inside you starts on 22 Sept. Register before 1 June for Early Bird pricing.

…………………………………

The Call

The way we are being ‘led’ is missing a vital dimension - attendance to and appreciation for core the human values of truth, beauty, freedom & love. For, if we are not being led towards that which is most sacred, most meaningful, most deep & abiding in life, then we are being led astray. 

Any leadership that perpetuates paradigms of division, domination and control, is leading us astray… 

When the sanctity of life is being violated, true leadership involves saying a firm and resounding NO to that which seeks to extract, exploit, violate, dominate or manipulate life. (Both in the world and inside ourselves.) And saying an emphatic and resounding YES to possibility, creativity, imagination, joy, beauty and the sacred. (Both in the world and inside ourselves.)

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "I got so much out of this course, it was filled with wisdom, from frameworks from psychosynthesis which were illuminating, to self-inquiry prompts, to group discussions, to homework exercises and links to external content, to Bonny's ever spot-on reflections on our sharings… The content was excellent, thought-provoking, challenging yet uplifting... I finished it with a feeling of hope for the future and a sense of courageousness for my unique path, in making a positive dent in the world." - Soulful Leadership Course Participant.

The course content was well put together, solid & substantial without being overly academic - the emphasis was on applying the frameworks to key questions & points of reflection. The 121s were very helpful to integrate and spaces where Bonny gently prodded, questioned and guided our own reflections. Bonny holds the space with curiosity and reverence but is still very grounded & real so this isn't a super-spiritualised course, its quite gritty & earthy in parts whilst at other times it soars into the sacred as Bonny sprinkles her powerful spoken word output & other poetic influences. Its a lovely mix of enquiring souls on a journey, substantial content, honesty, integrity & guidance, I found it so helpful on many, many levels and I know the rest of the cohort felt similar. She runs taster sessions but its hard to convey the full bandwidth of the course in these, its a really rich, deep offering and held safely and tenderly by Bonny.

I was curious about the Psychosynthesis but nervous about commiting to something I didn't really understand. I'm glad I went along as it was a really thought provoking and engaging taster session with a huge amount of content. Bonny unpacked the landscape of Psychosynthesis clearly and in doing so raised lots of intriguing questions. Unlike a few offerings which can be a little 'soggy' and vague at their core, this was a very grounded and well put together session that struck the balance between being serious and true to the topic and yet still engaging and interesting. Well worth a dabble if you have any interest in the topic.

I joined Bonny's Soulful Leadership taster session because for a Iong time i've wanted a place to feel held in making connection with the vastness of suffering in the world... This session confirmed to me that it's in facing & feeling the hugeness of our intersecting crisis that I will find the courage to step up & be of service. I left feeling inspired and grateful for a container that allowed this intimate kind of meeting between myself and the world.

Bonny’s massive heart is the reason I thoroughly enjoyed and would highly recommend her online Soulful Leadership course. Bonny has a deep understanding of our broken world and the crisis we find ourselves up against as leaders. She is a creative healer and space holder who draws out the very best in people, being intuitive to their needs and passionate about their growth and flourishing. All with a sense of humour! The Soulful Leadership course created a shift in my psyche and life, allowing new ways to flow in and move through me.

Bonny is such a wonderfully talented and intuitive facilitator. Signing up to her 3-month course is one of the best decisions I have taken in years. It awakened so much in me and has left me with a whole set of new perspectives for looking at my life, particularly a few places I felt so stuck and confused about. Bonny has this amazing ability to tune into whatever someone is saying...not only on the surface but at some deep soul level...and draw out insights, patterns and truths lying hidden underneath. She is definitely one of the best listeners I have ever had the opportunity to work with.
