Unlock your authentic leadership potential
Many of the world’s supposed leaders are hypocrites who lack integrity, prioritise profits over people and the planet. So… let’s change that.
You don’t need to hold a fancy title to be a leader. Leaders are normal people who take responsibility for themselves and their impact on the world. We are all leaders, leading from where we are.
Leadership can be scary. And anyone with any humility asks, “Who am I to lead?” But you already influence people, whether you like it or not.
Do you truly embody all you can be as a leader?
With support, embodied practice and a little knowledge, you can unlock your true leadership potential to be a source of inspiration, hope and strength to those around you.
That’s why you’ll have the option to get the most complete embodiment course we’ve ever put together, Embody Your Leadership, with the live Anti-Decadence Odyssey.
It’s pre-recorded, so you can work through it in your own time, starting immediately if you choose. You’ll have me – Mark – leading, but I’m supported by Karin van Maanen, Erika Chalkley and Ron de Brito…

“Honestly, if I could choose a single thing in Embodiment Unlimited’s library to give the world, it’d be Embody Your Leadership. It has a bit of everything.
It’d make this offer worth it alone, but getting the live sessions and Purpose Blackbelt too is a-f*cking-mazing.”
– Steve New, Content & Sales Manager at Embodiment Unlimited
