Thursday, 19 March 2026 10:00 - 10:30 AM

Mick
Mick Kubiak is a psychotherapist, writer, and host of the Designed To Be Awake podcast. With poetic insight and unflinching honesty, Mick explores the subject of awakening to who we truly are—the Self that lives eternally at the heart of each of our lives, beyond the reach of our limited egos. She explores what it looks like, on a practical level, to wake up, surrender to what is, and live with full presence. Her forthcoming book, Inner Housekeeping, is a meditation guide for beginners that focuses on emotional hygiene and creating inner space. Each week on her podcast, she weaves together psychology, spirituality, and lived experience, offering reflections that bring the seemingly heady experience of enlightenment down to earth.

Gift for All Access Pass Holders

You’ve done the therapy, the courses, the inner work. You’re not seeking another program—you’re seeking precision. The one perspective shift that unlocks clarity and restores your natural sense of power and peace.

The Deep Dive is a powerful one-hour session created for those who want to release the blockages preventing the healthy flow of life force. This immersive experience is designed to return you to your deepest knowing.

Each session is entirely bespoke. It may unfold through profound conversation, somatic attunement, or an intuitive blend of both—whatever your system calls for in the moment.

This is not coaching, and it is not therapy. It’s an energetic recalibration—a luxurious immersion that leaves you clear, grounded, and aligned.

Essentials of Co-Creative Partnership: Connection to Nature Unlocks Creativity

Co-creative partnership is just as the words indicate; being an equal partner where the members create together to bring about balanced manifestation. 

This conscious act of partnering with Nature brings about a union of form and spirit where all life can thrive. Co-creative partnership is not a technique but a way of life that we all carry within us. 

Embedded in our cells is the memory of a time when we lived close to Earth. 

During the time before we left Nature we wouldn’t dream of doing harm to that which is the source of our sustenance. But a deep amnesia has taken over and we have forgotten how to live in co-creative partnership with Earth and all her beings.

The separation from Nature that this amnesia has created is resulting in some very big challenging, changing times. 

It is imperative that we begin to wake-up and remember that we are actually kin to Nature and together we can create a world where all of life thrives. During this slide presentation we will continue our journey of remembrance as I shine light on some of the components that make for a dynamic partnership with Nature. 

Join me in discovering the Essentials of Co-Creative Partnership and start rebuilding your connection to Nature.

Clear the Path to Your Soul Breakthrough

Ready to finally break free from what’s been holding you back and step into a life of clarity, purpose, and aligned impact in your work?

Even when you’ve done all the right things—worked hard, strategized, and taken action - there’s often something deeper at play that keeps success just out of reach. These aren’t external challenges but internal obstacles - subtle, sneaky energetic blocks that prevent you from fully stepping into your power and purpose.

In Ronda's transformational training session, you’ll uncover:
• The hidden patterns that have been keeping you stuck.
• Why external challenges in work and life are just a reflection of internal resistance.
• How to transmute these internal barriers so your actions can flow effortlessly toward the results you desire.
• A clear, actionable step to reclaim your power and create meaningful momentum in your business.

It’s time to clear the path, release resistance, and experience the breakthrough you’ve been waiting for.

Whether you’re navigating a business challenge, struggling to feel aligned with your purpose, or seeking clarity to move forward, this focused training will guide you to your next level of success.

These are some of the books summit speakers have mentioned in their talks, some of my favorite books they've written, and books that soul-driven authors will find inspiring and useful. Enjoy!
