FOUNDER & GUIDE
Join me on a playful adventure.
I am devoted to guiding people, teams, and communities to reconnect with their essence, navigate transitions with depth, and create lives and work grounded in truth, meaning, and impact. I am a passionate advocate for the inner journey of life, working at the fertile edge of expression, belonging, and transformation, where service becomes a vehicle for impact.
I’ve spent the better part of my life building things at that intersection: where meaning meets business, where belonging becomes the work, where the inner journey and the outer one stop being separate.
After 15+ years of building and working with local and global brands, I realised that business could be a vehicle for good. Built on the belief that where and how we work shapes who we become and how we belong.
But the deeper thread was always pulling me further in.
It took me to Bhutan, where I studied as a Gross National Happiness Practitioner with the GNH Centre and Schumacher College. It led me to the Rites of Passage Institute in Australia, where frameworks for transition and transformation shaped how I hold space for others.
And through it all, the natural world as a mirror and inspirer.
"Thank you for holding the space for the team.
Your calm presence and confidence really came through, and I just want you to know how much it was noticed and appreciated by me."

CHRIS WILSON
YOGA & MEDITATION

Chris has lead over 30 teacher trainings, advanced trainings in Pranayama and meditation, along with many immersive retreats.
