Pioneer Rhizomes
Choreographing regenerative work
Shifting lives and livelihoods - with heart, soul, and sexiness
Both founders and leaders are trying to make regenerative work pay off in extractive systems. Whether you’re pathfinding with your business or stewarding change within an organisation, you’re navigating the same tension: how to stay aligned to regenerative wisdom while engaging markets, funders, and ecosystems.
Why
This community programme is a 7-month journey to materialize your insights from inner work - through your embodied story, posture of change, and market contribution. It holds a space of shared intelligence and mutual pollination where regenerative founders and leaders cross-pollinate insights across sectors, geographies, and worldviews.
You are part of a quiet revolution - cultivating the foundations of a renewing civilization from the soil of the old.
Your work doesn’t fit traditional leadership, marketing, or business development. Its value is at the in-betweens: between invisible wisdom and visible business structure, between business-as-usual and embodied change, between siloes and synergies.
A liminal space between the old world and the fields you’re pioneering.
You know your regenerative work has depth, but you struggle in framing it as a worthy investment for others today. Your gifts and talents don’t sufficiently translate into what you offer through your work - you sense there is potential for much greater resonance in those you work or could work with. Beyond the usual bubbles. Beyond constant crisis mode.
You’re tired of offering deep, meaningful regenerative work that doesn’t pay off - whether financially, emotionally, socially, or even spiritually. And you’ve reached the point where you can’t keep pretending you’ll find your way - without re-embodying, re-posturing, re-directing the roles you need to play today in your world. So that your work is effective.

The Value of Your PR Leadership
Embody the power of nature
We want your communications to express your beautiful, nature-given uniqueness and power. When we come to the point where you embody your wisdom, your action speaks words, your presence attracts, and your dream can bear its fruit.
Enable a culture of connection
At a time where belonging is scarce, we explore your role in reconnecting culture: with nature, with community, with the places we are part of and with the narratives that make our life meaningful and beautiful.
Express the potential of your story
We want to deeply understand your unique story to express its potential – your unique gift to the world. Narrating your role in your greater ecosystem can activate synergies and shared value that benefits everyone.
It’s time to choreograph your break-throughs - when new roots and shoots emerge from the work you’ve cultivated. Together, not alone.
That’s what Pioneer Rhizomes was designed for: to help you embody the energy that is needed to break-through the too often hard cultural soils you work with. So that your work can take root - and you feel grounded, energized, and determined in your pioneering growth. When you say "this is my way, I'm sure."
What you get
This is not a typical business or leadership course. It’s a living lab where regenerative founders and leaders learn to choreograph transformation — uniting business acumen, storytelling, cultural intelligence, and embodied leadership in one coherent journey."
Energy
- Resonance Compass : orienting your energetic and practical value proposition to communicate with clarity and confidence
- Brand Story: templates and language for the essence of your work and the transformation it makes possible to felt - directly.
Embodiment
- Understanding your archetypes and roles: how to re-attune to different contexts to work effectively.
- A Style Guide: visual, verbal, and somatic anchors to design for resonant experiences.
Community
- Live workshops: seven interactive and conversational deep-dive sessions.
- Access to an online platform to connect, exchange, and learn together
- A buddy to accompany you on the journey and support your learnings
Across seven months, you’ll move from feeling that your work is not seen for its deep vale where needed - to having the role clarity, language alignment, and resonance tools to lead, communicate, and design from embodied confidence.
The flow of the programme
The journey moves from inner alignment to ecosystemic influence — from the soil of your being to the networks that sustain your impact. The journey unfolds through self-learning materials, live workshops, reflective exercises, 1:1 buddy check-in sessions, and a vibrant community space.
1. Synopsis

You leave with a deeper understanding of your natural magnetism so that you can feel confident and in flow when communicating about your work.
2. Style
Who am I as a pioneer?
Discover the living essence of your brand — the archetypes, gestures, and roles that flow through your work. We trace your Regenerative Brand DNA, uncovering the invisible threads that connect how you show up, what you offer, and why people are drawn to you.
You leave with a deeper understanding of your natural magnetism so that you can feel confident and in flow when communicating about your work.
3. Stability
What is my work grounded in?
Root your practice in story and soil. We explore the foundational myth and history of your work — where it comes from, what sustains it, and the values that give it strength. This is to understand the unique contribution you make - the value that shines naturally through you.
You leave with a grounded value proposition that clarifies what potential clients are willing to invest in - because it’s your unique gift they need.
4. Story
How does my contribution connect and resonate?
We translate depth into resonance. Through regenerative storytelling and embodied communication, you’ll craft a narrative that bridges your inner knowing with language that clients and collaborators can feel and trust.
You leave with a distinguishable and attractive brand story and language that you can use in proposals, social media etc.
5. Stewardship
How do I design an offer that nourishes?
Here, insight becomes structure. We cultivate the architecture of your regenerative offer - pricing, positioning, and pathways that honour reciprocity rather than extraction.
You leave with an updated, coherent, and validated offer that speaks to the real needs and experiences of your audiences - so that the package feels highly relevant to them.
6. Synergy
How do my connections strenghten the field?
Regeneration flourishes in relationship. This module explores partnership, collaboration, and audience resonance — identifying the alliances, communities, and networks that can amplify your impact while keeping your work authentic.
You leave with a clear map of your stakeholder and client/funder ecosystem that allows you to deepen relationships with client segments and potential co-creators - so that you can thrive in fertile soil.
7. Seeds
How do I tend what's next?
Integration and emergence. We harvest insights from the journey, refine your next steps, and create practices for ongoing alignment. This is where your pioneer work becomes rhizomatic — sprouting in unexpected places, sustained by community and clarity of purpose.
You leave with concrete next steps to communicate and market your offer where it resonates most - so that it is both financially sustainable and ready to ripple further.
We know this kind of work often happens at the edges – at the edges of our culture, professional norms, and everyday life boundaries. This work needs comfort in the discomfort.
That’s why this programme is designed as a worthy, regenerative investment: an experience that multiplies its value over time. What you plant here continues to grow - in your practice, your partnerships, and your impact. In your joy and gentleness.
Who is it for?
- holistic and regenerative founders who want to solidify their offer so that it pays off
- leaders of NGOs or social impact business who need to identify and attract funders
- artists, craftworkers, and storytellers who understand that they need to “sell” their story, rather than a product
This is not a cost. It’s compost - a soil-enrichment process for your livelihood and your legacy.
Why join?
- Because you’re ready for your work to stick - to be seen, understood, and valued by the right people.
- Because you’ve done enough inner work - now it’s time for your brand and offer to reflect it.
- Because you’ll leave with clarity, language, and systems that make your business thrive, with more consistency.
- Because you’ll join a support community that provides you with emotional, intellectual, practical, and spiritual nourishment - you’ll access the Pioneer Rhizomes that anchor your work.
Together, we’ll ground your story, refine your offer, and grow the rhizomes of your next season of impact.
“I felt touched and in good hands-hearts during the process. The approach is bold and unique, and it was managed to make this participatory, meaningful and beautiful. We could dive deeper, thinking of (and feeling) our organisation in relational ecosystemic terms, to then come back to the surface with a specific tangible result everybody loved and felt identified with.”
