Embodied Leadership Collective

Embodied Leadership Collective, previously known as Embodied Leadership Asheville, is now expanding!

Our core values will remain similar; however, we are transitioning to virtual events only while we plan for new, in-person events beginning in summer 2026.

Embodied leadership is the practice of turning your attention towards the physical body and sensations while in a position of power or privilege.

We collaborate with diverse business, nonprofit, and community leaders to provide a unique networking and learning experience. We focus on practical steps to grow and sustain our community in a manner that recognizes our deep connection and inter-relatedness to one another and the planet.

In addition to the opportunity to meet new people with similar interests and build lasting relationships, we offer workshops, skillshares, and retreats that empower members with skills and learning for building a more embodied, grounded sense of leadership.
