THE WORLD WE ENVISION

Calling visionaries, change-makers, leaders and creatives committed to transforming the current paradigm we live in. As we enter the social era where AI, cryptocurrency, climate change and social media are disrupting business as usual, we believe it is essential that leaders become awaken to their purpose and align their energy, creativity and influence with the most positive outcomes that can serve all beings. It’s time to envision a new world where… 

collaboration is valued over competition 

businesses and institutions operate from abundance rather than scarcity

the wisdom of the heart, the gut and nature is just as valued as the wisdom of the intellect

it is safe to be real and authentic. In fact, it yields power for connection and outstanding co-creation

success is perceived by the value you bring in your community towards a more compassionate, just and regenerative future

community intelligence, ingenuity and diversity are valued and highly encouraged

your ‘felt sense’ is valued as a source of inner guidance

the feminine and the masculine qualities are equally valued and perceived as mutually supportive to shape a better future

the genius, unique gifts and passions of each individual is acknowledged and supported

each person is seen for who they really are, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, social status, race.

YOUR GUIDES

 

Hi, I’m Magalie Bonneau

A transformational coach, former world-class sailor, and creative producer. I am dedicated to helping a new generation of leaders live a life of purpose, freedom and abundance. From time to time, you’ll find me producing immersive creative events dedicated to elevate collective consciousness. 

I envision a world where authenticity, purpose and resilience are at the center of our lives and relationships. I believe in our power to shape a thriving future by evolving cultural narratives that stifle the human spirit and by deepening our ability to tap the wisdom within our heart, soul, body, nature and community. The quality of our presence determine the quality of the culture we shape. I have dedicated my life to understanding and evolving how humans relate to themselves, one another, our environment and our evolutionary impulse.

I am the visionary behind Awaken Leaders and the Founder of Dancing Without Borders, a non-profit dedicated to “Dancing the World Awake”. With a background in leadership coaching, community building and creative facilitation, I have led leadership retreats, social innovation labs, and large-scale community art projects both in the U.S. and internationally. I work with private individuals and organizations committed to ushering in a regenerative paradigm.

How I serve my clients is informed by a 15 year journey of researching consciousness, optimizing relationships, as well as, pursuing an Olympic quest as a solo sailor. In 2005, I ranked amongst the world class sailors worldwide – a result I achieved as I deepened my capacity to access the “feminine intelligence” found in embodied presence. In the wake of my athletic career, I co-founded the PJ Phelan Sailing Foundation which sought to unlock top national athletes’ potential based on holistic and collaborative paradigms. During my tenure, the organization had one of the largest endowments for amateur sports in Canada.

While I am originally from Quebec, I am currently living in California and identify as a global citizen.
