We lead in a world that’s complex. Yet… leadership development remains anchored in beliefs, assumptions and practices that do not match the realities that leaders face.
The Pathwork Studio
I believe that…
Reconnecting with your full, integrated self is the key to more effective and confident leadership.
You unlock transformation when you know at the same level of complexity as the worlds you navigate.
The Pathwork Studio Exists to
Make Sense of a Complex World
Activating the full range of human knowing.
Logic is just one way to make sense of the world. It helps us reason, plan, and build—but it has limits in a complex, dynamic world.
What happens when we reach the limits of logic? Our capacity to both dream and problem-solve becomes limited. The path forward is revealed through other portals of imagining, gathering insight, and creating impact. We have the opportunity to turn to the other ways humans have always known.
Through sensation. Through story. Through symbol. Through spirit. We turn inward, toward intuition, outward, toward relationship, beyond, toward ancient patterns. We remember that knowing doesn’t always begin in the mind—it begins in the body, the dream, the breath, the pattern.
We need better ways of knowing to better navigate what we face each day.
The Pathwork Studio builds within people enhanced capacity to:
Trust what they sense, not just what they can explain,
Reclaim the full spectrum of their intelligence—strategic, relational, intuitive, and embodied—so they can lead themselves and others through complexity, with courage and coherence.
Create organizations rooted in the reality of what is and where people experience inspiration, clarity, alignment, and expansiveness.
Reclaiming the Forgotten Ways
Sensation. What your body knows before your brain can explain it.
Story. The personal and collective narratives that give meaning to our experience.
Symbol. The patterns that speak through dreams, cards, synchronicity, and myth.
Spirit. The deep inner knowing that connects us to something larger. The mythic call that draws us into becoming all of who we are.
This isn’t fringe ideology —this is who we are as humans. What we’ve always been capable of, but we’re taught to minimize and ignore.
You’re invited to explore the Pathwork Studio Ventures and how they help you enter these portals and remember.
Who I Am - Across It All
Stacy Parson
I am a black, queer, woman who was raised to effectively navigate a world that is anti-who-I-am. I spent many years performing “femininity” before I put the weight of that down, and now I present as comfortable.
I am the mother of two and I practice relationship anarchy.
I cultivate courage – in myself and others.
I say things that other people won’t, but should.
It is being revealed to me that I am entering what I call the Post Ambitious (TM) phase of my life - I am arriving at ease with myself in the midst of everyone else’s expectations of me. I practice Kung Fu and tarot for leaders. I am a Gongfu tea enthusiast who curates essential oil blends. And…, if I were to pursue a doctorate degree, it would be focused on human consciousness as expressed through the music of Earth, Wind & Fire.
