The Liminality of Our Lifetime

This conversation will explore the connection between our ancestors and future generations, asking what healing means (and maybe doesn't mean) for this lifetime and what our cultural and spiritual lineages teach us about holding space and care for those who come after us.

This event is sponsored by the Aki Institute for Peace & Justice. The Aki Institute is dedicated to creating positive change in the world through rest, responsibility, and resistance. Our work is driven by a commitment to social justice, equality, and human rights. We believe in the power of collective action and care, and strive to empower individuals to make a difference in their communities.

About Robert & Kaitlin:

Robert supports leaders and organizations who are moving through complexity, transition, and the deeper invitations that change brings. His work is rooted in the understanding that transformation begins within — in the quiet places where clarity emerges, courage awakens, and connection becomes possible. Robert helps people lead from this deeper ground, where wisdom, presence, and purpose naturally arise.

Robert's professional path has taken him through public health, social impact, finance, and organizational leadership, including serving as CEO and President of the Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health. These experiences taught him that systems shift when people do — when leaders are centered, teams are aligned, and organizations honor the humanity at their core.

Alongside this work, Robert spent years exploring the inner landscape: contemplative practice, intuitive listening, and the subtle dimensions of healing. He's studied and certified in modalities that bridge the seen and unseen — the Enneagram, Mindfulness Meditation, Akashic readings, Celtic shamanic healing, Druidism, Reiki, Death Doula training, Yoga, and martial arts. These traditions have shaped how Robert understands human potential and the many pathways we have to access it.

Today, he partners with leaders, teams, and individuals who are seeking not only performance, but presence; not only outcomes, but alignment; not only success, but wholeness. His work blends grounded leadership practices with spiritual insight to help people navigate uncertainty with integrity, compassion, and inner steadiness.
