Activating Purpose-Driven Leaders To Thrive
“All those you touch, you change, all those you change, change you.” Octavia Butler
Sh8peshift Your Life is a platform for Changemakers. We support the inner development of leaders and teams in order to further the outer transformation they are creating in the world. We reject the idea that liberation work has to be depleting and instead center our practices in the wisdom of our ancestors, who found ways to alchemize their suffering into radical reimagination, power, and profound transformation. Through in person activations, virtual workshops, a podcast, masterclasses, leadership coaching programs, a mutual aid network and curated shop we provide tools for purpose driven leaders to reclaim their power and liberate their approaches to creativity, business, and healing.
