You can’t lead change while clinging to control.
And yet, that’s what the world still expects of you.
You’re the one they turn to when things unravel.
Your title says “head of transformation,” “culture lead,” “coach,” “consultant.” But the truth goes deeper than any role.
Quietly, you know:
- The frameworks are showing cracks.
- The strategy decks feel empty.
- The words “resilience” and “change management” ring hollow.
But something in you is tired of pushing, efforting, chasing clarity that never arrives.
Embodied WaysFinding.
An alive, attuned approach to navigating change, complexity, and new possibilities.
What you’ll practice & remember:
- A living compass for navigating uncertainty with presence, not performance.
- Somatic tools to ground, reorient, and reconnect to signal in the noise.
- Language + embodiment to dissolve the myth of stability and lead with clarity.
- New ways to move inside teams, systems, and cultures, without faking it.
- The courage to stop managing change, and start co-creating with it.
Who this if for:
This is for coaches, leaders, and transformation agents who:
- Are exhausted from holding everyone else’s process.
- Speak the language of change, but feel disconnected from their own fire.
- Are constantly translating complexity to systems that demand linearity.
- Feel like they’re betraying themselves just to be taken seriously.
- Are craving spaces where they don’t have to perform insight, just be in it.

Why this is different
We won’t teach you how to fix, explain, or manage change.
We’ll invite you to feel it.
Move with it.
Lead from it.
This is a practice space, not a download.
A crucible. Not a course.
You won’t leave with certainty.
You’ll leave with something better:
Coherence. Capacity. Compass.
What others experienced inside this space
“The depth and breadth of learning in this program is amazing and crucial right now for anyone looking for a new way to think about change and moving forward in this complex and confusing time.”
– Andrea Swanson, Organizational Consultant, Coach and Instructor.
“A practical and empowering framework to pause and take stock of your journey in any context. Extremely relevant in our messy world.”
— Marlene de Lange, Director of Grow Consulting.
“I highly recommend the Waysfinding framework for deeper self-understanding and growth. This journey expanded my awareness, helped me embrace uncertainty, and tuned me into my body’s wisdom. Mirjam and Sonja created a safe space for authentic, vulnerable exploration. The experience shifted me from a purely rational approach to a more intuitive and holistic path.”
— Robert Merlo, Sales & Business Development Executive.
“This program offered itself as an unexpected oasis – both refreshing and transformative. Delivered with expertise, grace, and respect, Mirjam and Sonja struck the perfect balance between information, exploration, and structure.”
– Gail Cox, Leadership Coach.
“This course touched me deeply and opened my eyes to many aspects relevant to today’s world. It helped me understand why my nervous system feels overwhelmed, reminded me that the brain alone isn’t enough, and awakened a deeper, embodied intelligence I didn’t know I had.”
– Juanita Uribe, Director Reframeit.
What is the WaysFinder framework?
The WaysFinder framework is a living compass for navigating change, complexity, and transformation.
Rooted in complexity theory, anthropology, and mindfulness, it helps you:
- Orient: Get a clearer sense of where you are.
- Set boundaries: Name what no longer fits or fuels you.
- Sense direction: Move with what feels alive and generative.
- Explore edges: Step into possibility just beyond the familiar.
When facing uncertainty, it’s easy to get stuck in overthinking or indecision. The WaysFinder breaks through that stuckness, encouraging small steps, movement, and momentum.
In times of rapid change and disruption, these skills & practices – rooted in wayfinding traditions like those of the Polynesians and Inuit – are invaluable. They allow individuals, teams and organisations to navigate change rather than manage it, and ride the wave of what’s unfolding instead of resisting it.
Still wondering if this is for you?
Meet Anna.
Director of culture at a global org. She’s helped hundreds through change.
But now?
She wakes up dreading another Zoom call where her words feel like wallpaper.
She used to feel lit up by her work. Now it’s like she’s mouthing someone else’s script. Something in her body said: no more pretending.
Meet James.
A trusted leadership advisor. Everyone looks to him for direction.
But lately, he’s been zoning out in meetings, gripping the edge of his desk during strategy calls, wondering if it’s burnout, or something deeper trying to get his attention.
He didn’t need another framework.
He needed a space where he could stop performing, and actually feel what was true.
Anna and James weren’t sure at first.
They didn’t know if they had time. If it was too soft. Too “out there.”
But something in them was already shifting. Not loudly, just a quiet pull. A sense that their old ways of working weren’t enough.
They said yes because they were done abandoning themselves for credibility.
They said yes because staying disconnected was costing more than they realised.
And they found something here.
Not answers, but aliveness.
Not a script, but a signal.
Not a method, but a movement, back to themselves.
You’ll know if it’s time.
Trust the pull.

Frequently asked questions
I’m very busy right now. How will I make time to benefit from this course?
Life is busy. We’ve designed the course in a way that you can simply plug in & plug out. Our live calls are every 2 weeks and our training content comes in bit-size and various formats (e.g. video, audio, reading material) to allow for an easy and flexible learning experience.
You’ll gain access to the training content a week prior to the live call, to allow you enough time to go through it.
Going through the training content is not mandatory, but is recommended to enrich your experience.
What is the focus of the live calls?
The focus of the live calls is on the practice of “waysfinding”.
Every live call will start off with a frame that links the training material to the topic we’re discussing. Each call includes somatic & embodiment practices to get out of our “heads” and into our bodies. There will be lots of space for questions, reflections & mutual learnings.
How much time should I put aside for the course?
We recommend setting aside 1–2 hours per week to get the most out of the experience.
You’ll meet with your Peer POD every week (60 minutes), and join a live group session every second week (90 minutes).
There is a bit of light prep work for some sessions – but nothing heavy, and it’s designed to be easy to integrate into your week. If you can carve out one focused hour, you’ll be well on track.
How will I access the course?
Once you’ve enrolled, you will be emailed access to our Waysfinder space hosted in a private online hub. From there, you will be able to access all course material and calls.
What is a POD?
Apart from the bi-weekly live sessions with Sonja & Mirjam, you’ll work in small groups (=POD) with participants from around the world to give and receive support. They’re self-organising and a great addition to your learning experience.
How interactive is it?
As much as you want it to be! Apart from the bi-weekly live sessions, you’ll take part in a self-organising POD that meets weekly.
