Roots & Wings is crafted for leaders who are not content with the status quo and seek to transcend traditional leadership paradigms. It is a call to step into a space of deep inquiry and experiential learning, where each gathering is held as a unique participatory method. These methods are not just theoretical concepts; they are embodied practices that invite you to engage with the full spectrum of your being. Unlike traditional programs that focus solely on cognitive learning, this workshop engages all aspects of your intelligence—integrating the wisdom of your body, the emotions of your heart, and your energetic, intuitive, and imaginative capacities. From the tangible to the intangible, from the known to the mysterious, this journey will challenge you to explore the multifaceted nature of leadership.
A Leader Is
A leader is a person who, irrespective of their role or status, is passionate about a cause, inspires others to share in their cause, and together they collaboratively craft a future that was once only imaginable.
Our capacities to lead are rooted in our values, habits, personality, and worldviews. Revealing one's leadership essence is a journey of self-discovery that highlights your strengths and brings awareness to your shadows.
Today's unprecedented challenges call for masterful leaders who recognize that true leadership is about creating connections, listening deeply, and navigating stressful situations with equanimity.
To become a conscious embodied leader, we need more than just good ideas. We must learn to embody a presence and take actions that resonate with visions and goals. This involves translating your ideas into new, tangible habits until they become an effortless part of you.
If you're dedicated to leading with greater impact or bringing a dream project to life, Rewilding Leadership is a place for you. When the essence of your leadership approach weaves somatic awareness and your intellect, you become more authentic & visionary. Leadership that transforms comes from the inside out and includes your whole self.

Which Values Inspire You?
And Are You Truly Practicing Them Right Now?
Practice Somatic Leadership
Shift Patterns to Align With Your Values
Have you ever felt trapped by a habit you just can’t shift? Maybe it’s procrastinating on important tasks or getting upset over small things. No matter what you try, the same patterns keep repeating, like being stuck in an endless loop.
Our brains are wired for efficiency, forming automatic routines that once served us but can become outdated, persisting in the parts of the brain beneath conscious thought - in the parts responsible for emotional regulation and instinctual actions. To address these deeply embedded patterns, somatic practices bring awareness to the sensations, impulses, emotions, and beliefs tied to them. This bridges your thoughts with your deeper, unconscious knowledge, helping you interrupt your automatic pathways and rewire your brain-- creating new neural connections for lasting transformation, much like a pearl emerging from layers of what once seemed like nothing but mud or grit.

At Roots & Wings, You Will Learn
Each gathering, you will engage with a new participatory process, from dynamic facilitation and collaborative decision-making to storytelling and narrative construction. 70% of change efforts fail in organizations due to lack of engagement and shared vision. Participatory processes have been shown to foster deeper understanding, enhance engagement, and encourage collective intelligence. By participating in these participatory processes firsthand, you will gain the skills to implement them within your organization, transforming meetings and system processes. This approach will inspire a more synergistic and innovative organizational culture.
Some of the activities you will experience include methods like Consensus Workshops and Deliberative Democracy, where you actively participate in shaping group decisions, feeling the power of collective intelligence and shared purpose. You will also be introduced to new tools for brainstorming in World Café sessions, which blend somatic presence with creative thinking to unlock fresh ideas and innovative solutions. Through Clearness Committees & Fishbowls, leaders witness how dialogue shifts when they move between the roles of active participant and observer, enhancing their capacity for reflective listening and strategic foresight. Through Participatory Action Research, leaders engage stakeholders—including customers, employees, and community members—in collaborative research projects that address real-world challenges.
These are just a few of the many innovative meeting processes you will explore and engage in. Experiencing participatory methods offer leaders the opportunity to see how intentional approaches to holding space can shape outcomes. You will actively develop the skills and capacities required to facilitate collective intelligence, foster meaningful dialogue, and build resilient, adaptable teams that thrive in complexity.
Participatory Methods
Somatic Wisdom
Learn the language of your whole being, beyond your analytical mind to include body wisdom, heart connection, energetic intuition, & imagination. Engage in practices that go beyond intellectual understanding, where intuition, creativity, and inner knowing play a crucial role. You will explore embodied practices such as guided visualizations, power poses, and creative expression, all designed to deepen your connection to the unseen aspects of leadership. Through somatic exercises, movement, and breathwork, you will learn to access the intuitive knowledge that resides within, enhancing your ability to lead with presence.
Heart-Centered Communication
Become clear in your language and honest in your communication using a heart-centered approach. You will learn to create psychologically safe containers that focus on attuning to the current moment and immediate experience. This allows for the addressing of issues as they arise, fostering mindfulness and reducing misunderstandings. This approach creates an environment where individuals are encouraged to question and examine their own ideas rather than stubbornly hold onto them, stimulating new possibilities and bravery to share bold ideas.
Conflict Resolution
Learn to sit in the fire of conflict and trust that an understanding will emerge. You'll cultivate the ability to create a culture that moves towards fear and creative tension, navigates defensive behaviors, and embraces restorative justice practices. You will develop skills to work effectively with emotions, embracing the full spectrum of human experience. These abilities will empower you to foster deeper, more authentic connections, creating an environment where genuine understanding and collaboration can flourish.
Systems Thinking - Ecological Integration
Explore the deep connection between leadership and ecology, learning how to incorporate ecological principles into your leadership practice. Observing how nature solves complex problems can spark innovative solutions in leadership, cultivate adaptability and resilience, and identify systemic patterns. It also cultivates empathy, ethical decision-making, and a deeper connection to nature, promoting regenerative and compassionate leadership.
Quantum Leadership
Delve into the principles of Quantum Leadership, where we explore the complexities of the quantum world and their parallels in leadership. You will learn to navigate uncertainty with grace, leverage the power of paradox and embrace the non-linear dynamics of change.
Collective Intelligence
The Power of Community and Collective Wisdom
The community aspect of Roots and Wings is a vital component, offering a space for mutual support, collaboration, and shared learning. Roots and Wings is not just an individual journey; it is a collective experience, where we build purpose through belonging, shared insights and challenges, and practice the reciprocity of nourishing participation. You will be part of a cohort of inspiring leaders, where we will foster expanded perspectives and adaptability. Together, we will explore the richness of diversity and the beauty of interconnectedness, recognizing that our individual journeys are deeply intertwined with the collective.
A Living Laboratory
The work does not simply ask you to think about transformation; it immerses you in the transformative process itself, where learning happens every time we meet through direct interaction, relational awareness, and embodied presence. You don't learn about different methods and processes to apply, you get to experience them in action. We hold space differently, we practice what we teach.

Somatics In Leadership
As we navigate the journey of leadership, we often encounter deeply ingrained patterns—ways of relating to others that seem to be hard-wired into our being. These default patterns, like defensive reactions or avoiding difficult conversations, are responses rooted in the "programming" of our more primitive brain. Somatic practices help us recognize our default patterns by bringing awareness to the sensations, impulses, and emotions that accompany them. This awareness allows us to connect our rational mind with our instinctive responses, creating a bridge between our thoughts and our deeper, unconscious reactions.. This heightened awareness enables us to observe our habitual responses without being controlled by them, opening the door to new possibilities and ways of being. Through somatic practices, we engage with the body's wisdom, learning to listen to its signals and cultivate a deeper connection with our internal landscape. This integration enhances our ability to lead with authenticity, presence, and grace.
Exploring Participatory Methods
Participatory methods are approaches that engage all members of a group in the decision-making and problem-solving process, emphasizing collaboration, inclusivity, and shared responsibility. They can be applied to how you run meetings, processes, and daily interactions. In this workshop, you will experience a variety of these methods, each offering unique insights and tools for fostering collective intelligence and co-creative solutions. Each session will explore a different participatory process to enhance these leadership capacities: consensus building, brainstorming, reflecting, mentoring, conflict resolution, community-based research, engagement, coalition building, feedback, organizational learning, change, adaptivity, & planning.
