Preparing Leaders for a Changing World

The Conscious Liberation Institute supports leaders through historical truth, healing-centered integration, conscious practice, and intentional renewal.
Five Distinct Pathways. One Conscious Liberation Journey.
Leaders need different support at different moments. CLI offers five core offerings designed to meet leaders where they are—and support them over time.
The Conscious Liberation Institute was born from lived truth that transformation requires more than motivation- it requires consciousness, clarity, and truth.
For the past two years, MeNowYOU Consulting, guided people in self-love, confidence, and leadership, but soon owned a journey of awakening that revealed a deeper calling.
CLI emerged as an evolution-a convergence of spiritual truth, historical understanding, and empowerment science. It became the place where everything we learned, lived, and survived could become a pathway for others to rise.
Today, The Conscious Liberation Institute is a home where people learn not only who they are, but also who they were always meant to become.
Where history meets healing.
Where consciousness meets leadership.
Where personal growth becomes collective liberation.
CLI is not just an institute. It is a movement.
Programs
CLI offers five distinct pathways designed to support leaders through orientation, understanding, integration, and renewal. Understanding history is not enough. We must also heal the ways it lives in our bodies, relationships, and leadership.
Conscious Liberation Labs are facilitated healing and practice-based spaces designed to help participants process harm, unlearn internalized oppression, and build the emotional and relational capacity needed for sustainable change.
These labs integrate trauma-aware (not trauma-driven) practices, somatic awareness, reflective dialogue, and collective care.
Level I: Awaken and Understand
Intro to Systems of Oppression:
Orientation | Safe entry | Shared language (90 minutes)
This foundational workshop orients individuals and organizations to systems thinking—without guilt, shame, or overwhelm. It’s designed to reduce defensiveness, build shared language, and create readiness for deeper work.
Best for: teams, staff meetings, community groups, and leaders beginning the conversation.
Level II: Heal and Practice
Liberation Foundations:
Understanding | Historical truth | Systems clarity (4-part series)
Liberation Foundations is a cohort-based learning series that grounds leaders in historical truth and systems analysis. Participants gain clarity about power, oppression, impact, and leadership—building shared understanding before moving into deeper integration.
Best for:
leaders and organizations seeking context, clarity, and a strong foundation.
Level III: Embody and Transform
History, Harm & Healing:
Integration | Capacity | Sustainable leadership (Half-day)
This half-day immersive experience supports leaders in processing the emotional and relational impact of history, harm, and responsibility. It’s healing-centered and trauma-aware (not therapy), designed to reduce burnout and strengthen leadership capacity.
Best for:
leadership teams navigating change, conflict, burnout, or moral complexity.
Creative Expression-Reflection-Community
Level IV: Embodied Expression
Healing & Liberation Painting Experiences
Art as a shared language for healing and liberation (120 minutes)
Healing & Liberation Painting Experiences create intentional space for people to slow down, express what words cannot, and connect with themselves and others through creativity.
Facilitated by an experienced educator and leadership practitioner, these gatherings are designed to be accessible, welcoming, and non-judgmental. Participants are guided through reflection, intention-setting, and painting as a form of expression—not instruction.
Painting is used as a learning and reflective practice, supporting:
Emotional expression and release
Presence and mindfulness
Self-reflection and insight
Relationship-building and community care
No prior art experience is required. The focus is on process, not product.
What Makes These Experiences Different
These are not paint-and-sip events and not art classes.
Facilitated by a teacher with deep experience holding group learning spaces
Grounded in reflection, intention, and shared meaning
Centered on expression rather than technique
Designed to build supportive, affirming community
Participants often describe these experiences as grounding, freeing, and deeply connecting.
Best for:
Leaders and professionals seeking creative restoration
Community members navigating stress, transition, or change
Teams and organizations looking to build trust and connection
Women and caregivers wanting space to express and be held in community
All materials are provided. All levels are welcome.
Level V: Renewal and Rejuvination
Retreats
Return to Self Retreats
Renewal | Restoration | Recommitment (Women leaders)
Return to Self retreats are intentional spaces for women leaders to restore mind, body, and spirit—through rest, embodied practice, reflection, and community. These retreats support clarity and renewal so women can return to their work grounded and whole.
Retreat formats:
Maine Coast Edition (Weekend Reset)
Dominican Republic Immersion (Deep Recalibration)
