TAKING ALL THE LESSONS RECEIVED FROM NEARLY A DECADE OF CONSCIOUS & TRANSFORMATIVE GATHERINGS
We open our doors exclusively to a small group of mentees to learn from our team & wide network of transformative event industry leaders.
If you are looking to find your people, build a valuable community, live a life of freedom, empowerment & positive impact, then you have landed in the right place.
And this is more of what the world needs …
We need changemakers.
We need more togetherness & community in a world that seems to get high on separation & division …
We need more cross cultural pollination & change of ideas so that we can evolve into a more open minded and mature society.
We need more celebration in ways that are actually growth fulfilling, wholesome & nurturing
These events can be powerful vessels these important shifts in culture.
And almost anybody can launch successful & impactful events If they know the correct formula & system.
So this is why we are now teaching this programme.
To help support & amplify the power of transformative events both for individual self growth but also for societal evolution.
To hand in hand walk organisers through the essential actions required to create long term, sustainable & successful community prioritised events.
So come along for the journey.
Who Is This For?
This programme will be particularly beneficial for any aspiring facilitators, therapists, producers, event organisers or those who desire to step into this world of event planning, organisation & production either launching their own events or taking roles within existing communities.
​
This is for those that are purpose driven with the ambition to create a livelihood from their purpose or mission.
​
It is for anybody looking to up skill, improve the quality of their events or weave more intentional awareness into the way they bring people together in an ethical & sustainable way.

Relevant Case Studies
When Anna-Lisa joined the mentorship, she carried a dream — to create a space where movement, music, and community could merge into something deeply transformative.
​
After completing the programme, she brought that vision to life through Avalon Dance Odyssey, a 4-day movement and dance immersion festival that gathered people from across the country.
​
Her first-ever festival was a huge success — breaking even and receiving glowing reviews from the 150 attendees present. Immediately selling a large number of tickets for next year.
​
Anna-Lisa’s journey is a beautiful example of what’s possible when conscious intention meets practical event strategy.

​
Her first two events were both financially sustainable and deeply celebrated, breaking even while introducing fresh facilitators and building a growing creative network.

You’ll get one 2-hour live session with me each week, plus guest coach calls with leading organisers (Medicine, Soul Revolution, Primal etc) — all recorded for lifetime access.
What if I can’t attend every session?
Everything is recorded and uploaded with notes, summaries and resources, so you can catch up anytime. Many mentees last year juggled full-time jobs or family and saw great results. You can also send in questions beforehand that we can answer live on the calls if you know that you might miss a call but still want a guest coach to answer them.

Alongside the live weekly sessions, you’ll get:
