Helping Changemakers Navigate the Storm
As a changemaker, challenging a toxic system with minimal results is exhausting. Even if you're an optimist, it's easy to lose hope. The only thing we can do is continue. Not because we believe we'll succeed, but because it's the right thing to do.
Mission & Vision
We coach, counsel and facilitate individual journey's and collective spaces that support changemakers to find purpose, balance and impact in an unravelling world. This equips us to be resilient in facing global crises.
We envision a global community of resilient changemakers facing systemic crises together to create a sustainable, just world for all humans and non-humans.

Our Founder, Tom Marshall
Since graduating business school in 2016 and starting a corporate job, Tom's been challenging the status quo. He began by facilitating workshops to help young people find purpose in their lives, as part of his non-profit Extraordinary Life.
This evolved into career coaching and a focus on sustainability and activism after he attended his first Heading For Extinction Talk by Extinction Rebellion in 2019.
After discovering the potential of psychedelics during the pandemic, Tom trained at the MIND Foundation in Berlin and started facilitating psychedelic retreats.
This path of exploring altered states also led him to become a Vipassana practitioner, attending 10-day meditation courses and practicing daily.
He's also a certified Life Coach and currently completing the year-long Compassionate Inquiry course with renowned teacher Dr Gabor Maté. He utilises this trauma-informed approach in his Resilience Counselling sessions.
Tom has spoken at over 100 events, with audiences and venues ranging from climate activists to professionals at Patagonia, international changemaker conferences and 5000 students at the Ahoy stadium in Rotterdam.
