Learn to navigate Power, Purpose and Pain through the lenses of nature, cognitive science and ancestral traditions.
Welcome to The Ecology of Power. This 10-week program will give you a lifelong toolkit to reclaim clarity and vitality, navigate power dynamics and cultivate true alignment.
This cohort will run from September 10th to November 30th
Limited seats available. Our Spring Cohort sold out.
Where is our Power?
- 70% of advertising budgets in 2023 were spent for products that either fragment our energy or monetise our distraction and lack of vitality.
- 30–50% of leaders, entrepreneurs and activists experience depression and burn outs
- 65% of projects fail because of team and governance conflicts around issues of power and money
These are not easy times.
But behind what we call “blockages,” “burn outs” or “power conflicts” there is a hidden architecture of unconscious beliefs and mechanisms that create those states, entirely based on how we’re incentivised to see power — in ourselves, others and the context around us.
Reach those roots, and you can rewrite that story. And once you rewrite it, everything can shift.
Navigating Power and Purpose in the 21st century
Ecology of Power is a 10-week cohort program for entrepreneurs, activists and explorers who want to approach power and purpose in a regenerative way.
Through this program you’ll learn to:
- understand the science of empowered vs disempowered states through nature and evidence-based protocols
- cultivate vitality, clarity and alignment in order to overcome states of anxiety, frustration and the constant feeling of “falling behind”
- discern power dynamics at play in the moment and learn how to respond effectively
- recognise actions that shift tensions vs repeating the damage and discover how to adjust them
- communicate the true value of your work thus releasing blockages around expression, worth and money
- participate in global arenas and conversations knowing what is your unique role to play within the larger eco-system
Program details
Think “group training.” We work in small groups (6-7 people) with tools from somatic and cognitive science, nature and evidence-based protocols as well as ancient traditions. No slides, just live sessions focused on key insights and how to put them into action.
*— The core program outlined below gets tailored to the group’s specific profiles and needs, based on the selected participant’s application details. If you are a young leader looking for a larger-group program with a focus on social and climate justice, check out the Under35 Impact & Climate Leaders Edition here.
Week 1
Understanding Paradigms: the Old Power and the New
We start by examining the current shifts of perspective on Power and Purpose looking at fields like quantum physics, technology, psychology and ancient traditions.
How can we read the current trends and risks? What will we work on during the program, and how?
Week 2
Power Fundamentals
We set the groundwork. We acquire key references on Power through the lenses of somatic and cognitive science, and we define the baseline and tailored Power Protocol of each participant.
What is Power? What is our current Power State, and what are the most urgent fronts we need to monitor and nurture?
Week 3
Anatomy of Attunement
We dive into the science of empowered and disempowered states. Without an antenna and vehicle in-tune nothing else works.
What is the difference between internal and external imbalances? What actions work best for our unique profiles and circumstances?
Week 4
Neutralizing Power Leaks
We deepen the work of week 3. We examine each person’s response to the defined Power Protocol and actions, reflect on the learnings and plan the necessary adjustments.
Week 5
Anatomy of Courage
We shift our focus from the internal to the external challenges and resistances that we are facing.
How do we read power dynamics at play? How do we meet tension with presence? How do we train to move through it?
Week 6
On Power and Relationships
We deepen the work of week 5. We look at each participant’s evolving situations, learn from each other and integrate tools around ancestry and relational psychology.
Week 7
The 4 dimensions of Wealth
We dive deeper, and we learn that behind conflicts of Power there’s always a story of Value, Worth and Wealth.
How do we identify imbalances of value, and their impact in our life? How can we reach the root of those stories? What does it take to reconcile and rewrite them?
Week 8
Pain to Power
We reach the core. We learn that we use Power depending on our relationship to Pain, and we dive into the Pain-Power-Purpose equation.
What has Pain got to do with Power? What’s its cultural link to the rising topic of Feminine Leadership, and why does it matter?
Week 9
On Purpose, Change and our True Role to Play
We rise from Pain to Purpose. We look into mythology, psychology and systems theory to connect the dots between individual growth and collective contribution.
How can we recognize the pattern between our cracks and our calling? What are the risks and traps, and how can we avoid them?
Week 10
Anatomy of Alignment
The end of our journey—and the start of a new one. In this final session we look at how to integrate the program’s insights looking at the electromagnetic and behavioral science of alignment and embodiment.
How do we turn our breakthroughs into action? How do we nurture and deepen our true alignment over time?

What can you let go of of the old paradigm in order to reclaim yours?
People in their power are like lighthouses.

- you’ve never done any practice of self-reflection and inner work

About Me
Hi, I’m Meg — full name: Margherita Pagani.
Over the last 10 years I have lived and traveled across 30+ countries exploring models of growth, impact and system change with local communities, public/private organisations and ancient traditions.
I'm a Forbes 30under30 and Fortune 40under40 founder, a serial TEDx speaker and a private advisor. I directly collaborate with indigenous cultures, in particular with the Yorenka Tasorentsi Institute founded by the award-winning Ashaninka leader, shaman and activist Benki Piyako.
This program is informed by my decades of direct practice with cognitive science and ancient traditions — it combines all the tools that made the difference for me (and now for my clients) and everything I wished existed when I was going through this journey myself.
You can read more on megpagani.com or start with one of my favourite articles — on the topic of The Gate, a concept that incapsulate how many of us feel when we’re called to this kind of work.
Thank you again for being here, and hopefully see you in the sessions.
Abrazo, ~M
