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, 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 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 have already served over 3,200,000 people, with customers in 180 countries. We have featured over 3,100 thought leaders in domains as diverse as spirituality, holistic health, psychology, Qigong, somatics, Indigenous wisdom, enlightened business, yoga, herbalism, and peacebuilding.
And we’re just getting started, with a goal of empowering 100 million people to realize their full potential.

We’ve given hundreds of thousands of dollars directly to nonprofits, 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 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 allocated 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.
Cyd’s mission is simply to “do good” and make a positive impact wherever she goes. Prior to joining The Shift Network, she founded the Meditation Studio app, which was named one of Apple’s Top 10 Apps of the Year, which she sold to Interaxon (makers of Muse, the brain-sensing headband). 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. With a solid background in management and customer service, she believes the only way to truly succeed is by treating others how we ourselves wish to be treated, while living in a state of sacred reciprocity with the Earth. 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.

“I am continuously stunned by the depth of intimacy and transformational power of the Shift platform. Somehow, with the extraordinary attention to detail and ongoing support behind the scenes, coupled with the lived passion of its carefully selected teachers, Shift online courses create authentic sacred space — as real as any in-person retreat I have ever experienced — and into that impeccable container the light of the cosmos comes pouring, and everything... shifts. I love that The Shift Network is an interface where spirituality, social justice, and environmental activism meet, and students and faculty alike are given tools to wake up and heal the world.”
Translator of the Mystics, author of God of Love and Caravan of No Despair
“The Shift Network has my vote as the number one organization most likely to change our world. Their level of consciousness and integrity match their vision — of an expanded network of awakened people caring deeply about our world and each other, working for the things that matter most: justice, sustainability, peace, and wellness. They draw together the best thinkers of our time as social architects of the future. And that draws in participants who are ready to learn and take action.”
Bestselling author of Wheels of Life and Eastern Body, Western Mind
“The Shift Network has boldly stepped into global prominence as one of the most creative and visionary activators of global transformation. In every sphere of its work it convenes practical visionaries engaged in birthing a new planetary civilization. It works on a scale that is breathtaking as it enrolls people across the world to participate in evolutionary change and masterful peacemaking. Finally, an organization that provides the spiritual, intellectual, and skill-building tools for humanity’s next adventure in applied consciousness!”
World-renowned peacebuilder, former director of Amnesty International, DC; former President, Institute of Noetic Sciences
“The Shift Network is making important contributions in creating the global culture of peace and having a transformational influence on individuals through its Summer of Peace, World Peace Library, Peace Ambassador Training, and other peace initiatives. It is playing a valuable role in creating and participating in strategic partnerships that amplify the strengths of multiple organizations in advancing specific peace priorities.
The Shift Network’s peace programs have been presented at the first United Nations High Level Forum on The Culture of Peace, convened annually by the President of the General Assembly. Its main focus on self-transformation of individuals creating the culture of peace from “inner to international levels” has accorded it the richly deserved credibility and well-earned recognition.”
