Liberate yourself from the grind of positioning, marketing, filling and supporting your online programs so you can focus on doing what you love: Teaching!
Are you eager to make more of your teaching available online to reach a larger global audience for better pay... and with less travel and work?

Then welcome to The Shift Network, where we aim to be the most trusted brand in transformation and deliver powerful programs at a reasonable price to a global audience eager to liberate more of their potential.
Since 2010, we’ve produced more new live programs than any other company (1,400 and counting) and featured over 430 faculty members in our teaching roster, which includes many of the most respected teachers in fields such as spirituality, psychology, holistic health, Qigong, herbalism, energy healing, psychic abilities, shamanism, psychedelic healing, peacebuilding and conscious entrepreneurship.
Some of our well-known Shift faculty have included Ram Dass, Marianne Williamson, Don Miguel Ruiz, Gregg Braden, Sandra Ingerman, Donna Eden, Suzanne Geismann , Stanislav Grof, Flordemayo, Robert Thurman, Gay Hendricks, Jean Shinoda Bolen, John Stuart Reid , Andrew Harvey, Matthew Fox, Anodea Judith, Robert Moss, Daisy Lee , Shiva Rea, Robert Peng, and David Crow. We take pride in also producing content from experts who are not as well known but deserve a global audience.
We specialize in attracting a seasoned audience of customers who are deep on a path of personal growth, service, and impact and want to live in a truly holistic way.
Gay Hendricks, PhD,
psychologist and New York Times bestselling author
Many of our faculty comment on not just the quantity but the quality of students as the best they encounter in any venue. Plus, the live format of most programs is an enriching experience for both students and faculty.
We have an exceptionally dedicated, mission-driven team of professionals who are committed to their own growth, which leads us to have great relationships with faculty.
Because we produce so many programs every year, the actual process of creating a program with Shift is streamlined, professional, and designed to be a great experience for faculty.
That’s part of why our faculty rate their experience of working with us so highly, and why many are always eager to do more programs.
We also offer more advanced programs than any other company, giving you the satisfaction of working with more committed students over longer periods and sharing more of your advanced material, as well as generating year-round income.
Finally, we can also turn high-performing live programs into passive online evergreen programs, leveraging your time for long-term passive income.
Andrew Harvey,
bestselling author of 30 books and founder of the Institute for Sacred Activism
The best part is that we only work with faculty we truly believe in (which is part of building trust with our customers!). So unlike some companies that market whatever they think will sell, we only feature faculty that we believe people can trust.
So as a Shift faculty, you know you are in good company, with high-quality faculty and marketing that is truthful and trustworthy, without the hype-y gimmicks that give online marketing a bad name.
We currently reach over 3 million email subscribers in 180 countries around the world, and aim to scale those numbers up dramatically in the years ahead. We’ve welcomed more than 250,000 paying customers to our programs since we opened our doors in 2010.
We can target very specific audiences for your programs with our top-tier advertising team, which has an unparalleled knowledge of where to advertise for specific transformational programs.

spiritual teacher, author of The Way of Grace
Some key things that differentiate us and benefit you as faculty include:
We help YOU change lives with your work and amplify your transformational impact. And we engage in many philanthropic activities ourselves, so we’re partnering with you to shift our world, one heart and mind at a time!
Over the course of 1,400 program launches, we’ve perfected a process of launching and supporting new programs that is world-class.
In a nutshell, we do virtually everything that most teachers don’t like to do AND we drive a lot of success so faculty are paid well (often extremely well) for doing what they do best.
Here’s the lowdown on the take home...
We offer faculty a minimum of 20% revenue share for all paid registrations of a course, AND we offer an additional commission on the sales that come from your personal list. Our commission rate ranges from 10 to 35% depending on the selling price of the course. Simply by promoting the course to your community using the dedicated links we provide, you could easily earn over 50% of a single registration!
Here are some recent statistics that demonstrate the financial possibilities when everything “clicks”:
We are proud of the huge impact we’ve had on the lives of faculty. Shift faculty have reported to us that they’ve been able to do the following as a result of their work with us:
One of the great additional benefits of working with us is that a big launch with Shift will support all your other offerings, such as live events. Faculty regularly comment on just how many people come to their retreats because they first heard about them through The Shift Network.
And if that’s not enough, you get free access to other Shift programs to continue your own growth!
We do a lot, but we can’t do everything.
Once we start working together, we’ll have a number of meetings with you to brand, position, and strategize about your course. You’ll then need you to provide an overview of your course, including detailed bullet points of key takeaways that participants can expect for each class module. We have a group of great copywriters, but they need your content to write the pages and campaign emails. We’ll also work with you to identify high-value bonuses to include in your program.
We also expect you to send at least two dedicated emails to your list to promote the hour-long Intro Event. Those faculty who commit to more promotion earn more and create more opportunities for future sales, so keep that in mind. We ask all our faculty to invite friends and allies who know and respect their work to also promote the launch to create the maximum benefit — this is THE biggest multiplier for success. We make this as streamlined as possible.
We’ll work together to create high-value content for you to teach. We’ll need you to be accessible by email pretty regularly — especially until we have all of what we need to build your page, create the campaign, and design your course. We’ll also have you create some short video content pieces that will be helpful in the sales campaign; our team will help craft the highest-value offerings with you. And then you need to be ready to drive great transformational value for your students.
So, if you’re comfortable with those three areas, the rest should be easy!
You own your brand and your teachings and we will fiercely protect that. Any branding and content that you bring to us is forever YOURS. The only thing that we own are the specific media assets, graphics, and copy that we create for your program. We also own the list of customers, but offer you an opportunity to build a base of students at Shift for you to come back to with ongoing and advanced programs.
We’ve honed and created a unique “live course” experience that has attracted a large following of Shifters, while simultaneously building out pre-recorded content that allows for future passive earnings.
We encourage you to read our long-term vision here, which is ultimately about how we shift the world. Imagine tens of millions of conscious, committed change agents who are living their full potential and creating positive, evolutionary change in every domain.
That’s what we ultimately envision empowering through online education, media, and eventually local centers.
When you work with us, you are joining us to help shift the world!
Here are a few comments about our larger mission:
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.
— Anodea Judith,
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!
— James O’Dea,
world-renowned peacebuilder, former director of Amnesty International, DC, and former President of the 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. I wish The Shift Network continuing and increasing success and expansion in the years to come.
— Ambassador Anwarul K. Chowdhury, former Under-Secretary-General and High Representative of the UN
