expanding consciousness and Leadership AS Love
tuning our Self as an instrument of evolution
As leaders and leadership practitioners, we play a vital role in responding to the personal, social, and planetary challenges of our time. These crises hold the potential to become our greatest opportunities for growth and transformation.
At Empire of Love, we are dedicated to unleashing human potential and developing the capacities and skills necessary to thrive in the complexity of our world.
From a developmental perspective, human evolution unfolds through shifts in awareness. As we expand our ways of making meaning—of ourselves, others, and the systems in which we operate—we cultivate deeper integration and understanding.
This expansion of consciousness invites us to explore diverse ways of knowing, sensing, and sourcing. It brings us into a deeper awareness of our interconnectedness—the space where leadership as love originates.
From this heightened awareness, we can honor love as the driving force of evolution, embodying it in action, and allowing it to ripple outward into our communities.
How can we continuously expand our capacity to lead with love—consciously, compassionately, and in impactful ways that inspire others to do the same?
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 re-generativity.
Personal and professional development unfold simultaneously, as our main instrument is our self—mind, heart, body, and spirit.
Participants refine 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 a specific growth edge they wish to explore within the group.
At every session, a central theme is examined through relevant frameworks and experiential practices that integrate cognitive, emotional, somatic, and spiritual dimensions.
Between sessions, participants continue their self- and mutual inquiry, fostering a living practice within the community. Facilitators introduce guiding frameworks, questions, and practices, as the learning journey is an emergent, co-created process shaped by all.
The program also includes a one-on-one coaching session with a facilitator, offering personalized guidance and support.
Co-facilitators: Silvie Le Muzic, Gabriella Fenesi, and Ilaria Distefano, PhD,
co-founders of the Empire of Love initiative.
