What you say.

A course to learn about yourself and what impact you have on the planet, world, and people around you. A course to make a change. A course to network and connect. A course to realise the beautiful harmonious sound coming from our collective instrument.

• Luyanda Gysman, entrepreneur

Catalyst 2.0 is not and will never be ‘just another course’. It infuses one with deep, fun and ever-necessary wisdom that raises one’s head and shoulders above the rest. Catalyst 2.0 was, personally, my transition from mediocrity to a more whole state.

• Ndumiso Caba, Site Leader at City Year SA

It is a REAL approach of leadership, taking into account the internal causes of behavior, our assumptions, and basically encompasses all by breaking down the barriers of diversity and difference.

• Zoe Mann

Transformational leadership is about having the awareness to serve the need for the common good… actions based on transformative leadership arise from the point where I connect with the world in the fullness of who I am. The course has also given me a glimpse into the relationship between being and doing. “I have experienced “flow” in the most beautiful and amazing way – where I am completely me and completely connected and see the qualities that block and enable this flow to happen.

• Karen Goldberg, Director of Kaia SA and sustainability practitioner, facilitator and counselor

This course as a vision-molder.

• Animba Ijeoma Yvonne from Nigeria, school owner

A genuine opportunity to get to see yourself from the inside out and get to know the real you.

• Mitan Nana, lecturer and business owner

I was in a room filled with a diverse group of people I once thought I was different from but found to be the same.

• Thobile Mthembli, Durban Branch Coordinator for Ikamva Youth

You know when you’re in a crowd of people and you witness something absolutely amazing that nobody else sees – like a unicorn – but nobody else saw it so they don’t believe you? Well, that’s how I feel that the world is going to feel. Thanks for letting me see a unicorn…The general feeling of this place. A safe place has been established, allowing people to become vulnerable. In the midst of all this vulnerability and even fear you find humility and bravery. You see people wrestling with themselves and you can’t help but love them and the raw honesty they give to the space.

• Isabel

The course interweaves all that I am passionate about: personal development; international development; creativity; social justice and mindfulness… I am a leader and I have all that I need inside of me in order to make my vision come true… And the importance of SERVICE – it has changed my world.

• Katie Charlcraft, Red Zebra Project Manager and facilitator

The possibilities that emerge when people are given the tools and space to unveil what lies within their spirit.

• Zoe Jarvis, Community Outreach Director for TLC Ministries

This week has been all about teaching me the immense power of true love commitment and service. I am just overwhelmed by what this space and these people made me explore within myself.

• Blerta, Macedonia

This week for me, has meant getting back to me, to who I really am, to what I really want to do in life and how simple it all is. The highlight has been the laughter and the love. This is something unlike anything else I’ve ever experienced. It’s amazing.

It’s one of those things that you can’t put in words, it’s a feeling. And I feel that to try and put it in words, I’d be leaving out something, something that’s indescribable.

• Gill, Ireland

A wonderful experience, I’ve learned so many new things, I’ve been re-inspired – and almost above all, it’s been such a pleasure interacting with these wonderful people. There was some kind of magic that came together. What was so satisfying about the course was the way that the content went beneath the surface, it really made us look at who we were and how we turned up in the world…in a way that felt very true. I learned a lot about leadership, but was amazed about how much felt so relevant to me as an individual.

• Mark Gifford, UK

I was reminded what it feels like to belong. I was reminded how amazing people truly are.

• Sahar, California

I was constantly excited about what was going to happen next.

• Maja, Poland

I had time to feel the harmony in myself.

• Gesine, Germany

I learned that peace is not the opposite of war but means a lot more: patience, love, awareness… During this whole week I learned something each minute and each conversation – all in all I’ve learned so much that it feels like fourteen years of studying.
