Welcome to Brownswell
A home for change-makers & mission-driven organizations ready to lead cutting-edge systems change, in service to people and our planet. We help you develop earth-based leadership that has the strength to bloom, rest & transform the increasing challenges of our time into new possibility.
Welcome to the cycle of resilience that emerges from the ancestral seeds of surviving the harsh conditions we inherited. This is a form of resilience that gives life to us and all we touch.
How do we grow such resilience in our current context?
Modern day resilience hinges on our willingness to not just survive our physical reality but to develop our spiritual and emotional maturity so we can feel alive in the process of life.
As change-makers, we are primed for this task, because we are deep empaths. We have robust sensitive energetic systems that can channel and merge many aspects of reality - the spiritual, emotional, political, physical, collective, seasonal, personal through our bodies DAILY - awake and asleep.
But most of us don’t, or at least not consciously, because we live inside of systems that are not complex enough to make room for what we can’t see, touch and measure. We shrink our natural abilities in order to be able to navigate the systems we’ve inherited.
All of us, empathic or not, are suffering as a result, spiritually and emotionally young trying to belong in harsh, linear conditions. We feel the effects in our bodies and psyche as burn-out, anxiety, loneliness, victim-hood and feeling like it’s impossible to belong without sacrificing our bodies or some aspect of our nature.
What do you think the effect is on our collective when our global population is tired, collapsed and fragmented?
Sounds like an impossible, heavy situation huh?
But what happens if we got curious? Let’s ask a question:
How do we receive and honor all the energy that moves through us when we operate inside of rigid unjust systems that feel like they will explode if we unleash our true selves? Pause and feel for an answer in your body.
I asked this question over many years before I started Brownswell, I still do.
Wanna know what I keep hearing? I’m certain it’s elder wisdom.

At Brownswell we take time to feel these truths in our personal and collective body over and over again. It reminds us that we access power to balance our world by balancing our internal ecosystems, and that we need the earth and each other to do so.
At Brownswell we help you unplug from the constructed systems of our world and settle into the natural ecosystems of our earth so you can understand how to balance your unique internal ecosystem alongside a network of others doing the same.
Together, we create a resilient web that can be a home for our empathic nature, and in doing so, become a homecoming beacon for all those we touch.
