ODE TO AN AWAKENING WOMAN

Life is knocking at your door.

Your heart is hungry.

You thirst for aliveness and freedom.  

You know there’s more waiting for you.

More joy. More ease. More flow.

Greater authenticity. Deeper impact.

.:.

You are smart and capable,

Well connected and have influence.

You give a lot to others and ask much of yourself.

Deep down, you long to unleash the embodied,

creative and liberated goddess within. 

.:.

The patriarchal system is wearing you out

as making things happen is never enough.

Its extractive economy is pushing our planet

and humanity to the brink

and that’s breaking your heart.

 

.

You believe women embody the sensitivity

and agency needed to positively

shift the course of history

as the crises are real

and the opportunities significant.

.:.

You’ve arrived here by no accident.

You are ready for a reboot. A reset.

You want to get real. Replenish. Play.

.:.

By surrounding yourself with a strong community 

and attuned guides you will turn an intense time of

transition into a remarkable evolutionary journey where 

honoring your truth and being embodied yield power.

YOUR GUIDES

Hi, I’m Magalie Bonneau

A guide, social entrepreneur, former world-class sailor and filmmaker. I am dedicated to helping you embody the most awake and purposeful self that you are meant to be. Midwifing a culture where the feminine is honored and empowered is in my DNA. 

I envision a world where aliveness, 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 sailor.  In 2005, I ranked amongst the top 2 Olympic female solo 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.

I hold a BAA in Business from HEC Montreal and a Certification in Coaching from the Coaches Training Institute, as a Purpose Coach from the True Purpose Institute. I’ve also a certified in the Embodied Present Process as a Vision Quest Guide with Wilderness Reflection. I am a Filmmaker and a Dancing Freedom Facilitator.  While I am originally from Quebec, I am currently living in California and identify as a global citizen.

Hi, I’m Sylvaine Hughson

An executive coach and former  producer for NBC News. I have dedicated my life to seeking out the best teachers, masters, and mentors around Peak Performance and the energetics of human potential.

.

For as long as I can remember, I have been fascinated by the field of human potential. Whether it be on the physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual level – I have dedicated my life to seeking out the best teachers, masters, and mentors around Peak Performance and the energetics of human potential. My training spans the worlds of Eastern and Western wisdom teachings and modern science.  As one of the primary facilitators for AwakenLeaders.com, I work closely with individuals and organizations to help them unlock their potential.   

I am an Executive Health & Lifestyle Coach® and the Founder & Director of SNH International,  LLC The Art & Science of Optimized Living®. As the principle coach and consultant for SNH – I work closely with high-level professionals, performance-driven groups, and Fortune 500 companies.  I help my clients unleash the power of optimized mindset, wellness & lifestyle to fuel their Peak Performance and accomplish their most important goals. To best serve my clients I became a certified Master Transformational Coach, Professional Life Coach, Yoga Instructor, Holistic Health Coach, Raw Living Foods Health Educator, FirstLine Therapy Lifestyle Educator, Corporate Wellness Consultant & Provider, and Traditional Reiki Master.  

As a former producer and field producer in New York City for NBC News: Dateline NBC, The Today Show, Nightly News and MSNBC Specials, I understand the pressures and demands placed on individuals in the workplace and their need for exceptional performance. I originally pursued my various health trainings as a means to improve my own energy, endurance, wellbeing, and performance while under deadline.

” I have been able to fundamentally change how I live each day in a way that has made my life much more meaningful and exciting. I have been able to reconnect with a much healthier, happier and wiser version of myself […]

Thank you, Sylvaine, for all that you taught me.”
