expanding consciousness and Leadership AS Love
honing our Self as an instrument of evolution
As leaders and leadership practitioners, we play a key regenerative role in the personal, social, and planetary crises of our time. We can transform them into our greatest evolutionary opportunities.
Empire of Love supports the unleashing of human potential, capacities, and skills necessary to evolve in the current level of complexity.
In the developmental perspective, human evolution occurs through shifts in awareness, as the ways of making meaning of ourselves, others, and the systems in which we operate become increasingly comprehensive and integrated.
This expansion of consciousness implies opening to different ways of knowing, sensing, sourcing, that bring us at the heart of our interconnectedness. That’s where our leadership as love originates.
From this expanded consciousness, we can more fully honor love as the force governing all evolutionary processes, practicing being love in action in every moment, and allowing our leadership as love to ripple out into our communities.
So how can we constantly expand our capacity to be conscious, compassionate, and engaging invitations to more leadership as love in the world?
9 on-line sessions of 90 minutes via Zoom
+ a 60-minute 1:1 coaching session with one of the facilitators
Stay tuned for an upcoming new cycle in 2025!
The program’s methodology builds on self-, mutual, and collective inquiry into the lived experiences of the participants.
The emphasis is on awareness-based, embodied, and creative ways of being in relationship, evoking awareness, and supporting loved-sourced re-generativity.
Personal and professional development unfold simultaneously, as our main instrument is: our self—mind, heart, body, and spirit.
Participants cultivate their quality of presence, deepen the integration of different aspects of themselves and the systems they evolve with, and become more agile in the constant re-generation of their ecologies.
Each participant is invited to identify one specific personal growth edge they wish to explore within the group. At each meeting, one topic and its implications for leadership as love are explored through relevant frameworks and practices that integrate mind, heart, body, and spirit.
In the intersessions, participants continue self- and mutual inquiry and practice in community.
The facilitators introduce frameworks, inquiries, and practices, and everyone is ultimately co-responsible for the emergent process of each session and the experience we co-create.
The program includes a 1:1 coaching session with one of the facilitators .
Co-facilitators: Silvie Le Muzic, Gabriella Fenesi, and Ilaria Distefano, PhD,
co-founders of the Empire of Love initiative.
