Simon Goland, Ph.D., PCC, is a contemporary alchemist, with deep passion and commitment to our individual and collective awakening. With a Ph.D. in Applied Eco-Psychology, Simon bridges somatic intelligence, nature-based practices, and the Enneagram to facilitate transformation that honors our whole selves – body, mind, spirit, and our place in the more-than-human world. His work helps leaders and organizations remember what modern life has taught them to forget: that we are embodied beings inseparable from nature and community. For the past 26+ years, through his Executive Coaching, Leadership and Organizational Facilitation, teaching, leading retreats, and writing, Simon has been bringing integrity, vulnerability, humour, and ancient truths to the boardroom while challenging the fiction that professional excellence requires disconnection from our humanity. Based in Victoria, British Columbia on indigenous lands, he continues to explore how transformation happens in the spaces between breaths, between thoughts, and between the corporate and the sacred – discovering that the wisdom we seek has always been available in our bodies, in the natural world, and in traditions that never forgot what we are only now remembering.
