In a world increasingly characterised by volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity, conventional leadership approaches are not only failing us—they're actively perpetuating our crises. 

Our institutions, organisations, and communities are trapped in paradigms of domination and control that have led us to the brink of ecological collapse and existential despair.

This moment calls for a profound transformation in how we lead ourselves and others. Sacred Rebellion isn't about rejecting the world, but about reclaiming what matters most. It's about standing for life and love in systems designed for extraction and control. It's about finding the courage to lead from your deepest truth when conformity seems safer.

"It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society." — Jiddu Krishnamurti

A Crisis of Soul

At its core, our leadership crisis is a crisis of soul. We've mistaken freedom for independence, power for domination, and success for accumulation. We've lost touch with the timeless values that sustain human flourishing—Truth, Beauty, Freedom, and Love.

As Parker Palmer observes: "When nothing is sacred, deemed worthy of respect, banality is the best we can do." This banality has infiltrated our organisations, our politics, and even our dreams of what's possible.

Soulful Leadership offers a radical alternative. At its heart is the understanding that there is an existential dimension to our crises, and that psycho-spiritual development is crucial in order to respond meaningfully to the needs of the time. 

"The most common form of despair is not being who you are." — Søren Kierkegaard

An Invitation to Rebellion

In this transformative  workshop, psychosynthesis coach and leadership facilitator Bonny Tydeman will share psycho-spiritual frameworks and teachings to help make sense of the context we’re in, the psychological dynamics it creates and the qualities of leadership we need to cultivate in response.

This workshop serves as a call to arms for those who sense there must be another way—a way that honors our humanity, our interconnection, and our capacity for wisdom and love.

Whether you're leading an organisation, guiding a team, creating social change, or simply seeking to navigate these challenging times with greater integrity and purpose, this workshop offers practical wisdom for the journey ahead.

“The most radical thing any of us can do at this time is be fully present to what is happening in the world.” - Joanna Macy

A Deeper Journey Awaits…

This introductory workshop serves as a gateway to Bonny's transformative six-week Soulful Leadership course,  beginning on April 16th.

In this immersive journey, you'll:

  • Develop specific transpersonal leadership qualities needed to navigate our VUCA world
  • Work through the psychological blocks that keep you trapped in reactive patterns
  • Discover your unique ecological niche as a leader
  • Join a community of fellow travellers committed to soulful leadership
  • Receive personalised coaching to address your specific leadership challenges

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "I got so much out of this course! It was filled with wisdom, from psychosynthesis frameworks, to self-inquiry prompts, group discussions, homework exercises, links to external content, and Bonny's ever spot-on reflections on our sharings… The content was excellent, thought-provoking and 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."

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.
