We Are Awakening Individuals to Achieve Their Full Potential.
Our Vision is to empower a global network of evolutionary change agents through media, education, and resources featuring leading wisdom keepers and visionaries.
We empower people on a journey of personal growth over time, and provide a platform for an emerging culture to connect, collaborate, and co-create.
We aim to accelerate the shift to a world where each and every one of us has the opportunity to liberate our full creative potential.
We call ourselves The Shift Network because we believe it will take millions of awake, connected, and inspired individuals to activate their full potential and collaborate on the changes that are needed for our world to truly shift. People from every race, creed, color, and national origin have their essential role to play.
Our ultimate aim? Upgrade our human operating system in order to co-create a healthy, peaceful, sustainable, just, and prosperous world.

We’ve given hundreds of thousands of dollars directly to non-profits, offered millions of dollars worth of scholarships to our programs for people who couldn’t otherwise afford them, and created specific programs that address societal issues from racism to sexual violence to political polarization.
Shifting the paradigm in business also means that for-profit companies like us need to consider social and environmental impact as part of what we do.
To that end, we give a significant percentage of our profits to charitable organizations, and allocate 20% of the founding shares of our company toward philanthropic works and organizations.
The vision for The Shift Network came to Stephen while on a meditation retreat: “I got a powerful sense that we needed a global network connecting people who are activating more conscious lives in order to create a world that works for alI.” Many years later, what began as a flash of insight has transformed into a thriving organization and global leader in online transformational education, media, and events.
Stephen is a graduate of Stanford University (Human Biology) and the California Institute of Integral Studies (East-West Psychology). He co-created and directed the Esalen Center for Theory & Research, a think tank for leading scholars, researchers, and teachers to explore human potential frontiers, and also served as the Director of Membership and Marketing at the Institute of Noetic Sciences.
He is the author of Sacred America, Sacred World: Fulfilling our Mission in Service to All. He is a member of the Transformational Leadership Council and Evolutionary Leaders, and has been a featured speaker at many international conferences, including the World Cultural Forum in China, the Alliance for a New Humanity in Costa Rica, and Renovemos Mexico in Mexico City. He lives in Northern California with his beloved wife Devaa and their two daughters.

At Muse she served as the Chief Marketing Officer. Prior to that she was the Chief Operating Officer at Gaiam and held various leadership roles at Whole Foods Market.
Passionate about the awakening of humanity and the evolution of consciousness in business, Sylvia has devoted her career to working in the transformational education field.

In her teens she became certified as an Empathy Counselor, was the youngest member of her city’s Crisis Intervention Task Force, and during college co-created a soup kitchen serving the homeless.
