News and offerings

Stella

International Peace and Security Consultant – Uganda

I’ve been travelling and mediating and enhancing capacities for groups in violent conflict. I’ve infused The Mighty Heart doctrine in that work. I am currently training women mediators from across the African continent in ceasefire mediation. Like in all my work, the heart, especially the Mighty Heart doctrine, will be at the front and center of the training.

Manuela Welton

Peace Builder, Strategist and Facilitator – Colombia

I’m in the planning stages for The Mighty Heart in Colombia. I’ve recently been connected with an incredible organisation working in conflict zones across the country. I’m also in the process of setting up meetings with government officials to explore potential collaborations in education and cultural centres. Connect with me here.

Grace

Strategist and Facilitator – Taiwan and Japan

I am reaching out to Taiwanese publishers to introduce Scilla’s work on the Taiwanese market. I am also working on a rough Mandarin translation of The Mighty Heart in Action. I am aiming to develop meaningful examples that resonate with the Mandarin-speaking world, to get ready for the coaching class to start. Connect with me here.

Rhian

Executive Coach – UK

From September, I will launch a new website to showcase my services as a regenerative leadership coach and facilitator, with the Mighty Heart course included as a core offering. I’m seeking to deliver The Mighty Heart course with impact-focused Board and C-Suite leaders in order to accelerate the shift to a world where people and planet flourish. Connect with me here.

Miriam

CFO and Executive leader – Tasmania

At the end of June, I will be presenting the Mighty Heart In Action framework for the first time in Australia, as a guest speaker at an Interfaith event hosted by Sacred Conversations. In parallel I will launch my website change2peace landing page with the Mighty Heart in Action as a key aspect of my intention for global peace. The first Mighty Heart in Action program in Australia is planned to commence in September 2025. I am excited for what each of us offers to our world that is in crisis. Connect with me here.

Elisabeth

Author, Director and Journalist – Austria

I will be holding a course at the JKU Linz (University, upper Austria) for three days. The theme is: ‘How to negotiate with yourself’. It’s for business students and I am very excited to be presenting the learnings from The Mighty Heart. I’ll be meeting publishing house owners very soon to talk about a German version of Scilla’s books. Connect with me here.

I am volunteering to support a women’s peace initiative for Ukraine and Russia and I am identifying relevant European politicians and policy-makers to support the cause and encourage women from both countries to step forward together to call for peace in the region.

The Mighty Heart Chile – MHC

In 2021, Chile began a constitutional process that became a historic milestone for the country.
Citizens voted massively in favour of a new Constitution and for it to be drafted by a Constitutional Convention, rather than by the National Congress. This process wanted to respond to the demands of the social uprising of October 2019 and also to replace the 1980 Constitution, inherited from the Pinochet dictatorship.

In May 2021, 155 Constituents were elected through public votes, and the results showed a strong presence
of independents, representatives of Indigenous peoples, and women, after a national agreement on gender parity.In partnership with president of the Convention, Elisa Loncón, MHC proposed training delegates with the tools of The Mighty Heart Course to facilitate the process. A process which had already been very turbulent and complex.

The unprecedented pressure to draft the proposal in less than six months prevented the Convention members from accepting it. However, MHC nonetheless assembled the team in Chile to facilitate the course, and MHC translated The Mighty Heart Book into Spanish to be given to the participants.

The Convention began its work in July 2021 and spent a year drafting the new constitutional text.
Pioneering ideas and unprecedented rights were proposed, such as a Social, Ecological, and Democratic State, a Plurinational and Pluricultural State, the right to care, the right to the city and decent housing, the right to water and sanitation, and the right to a life free from gender-based violence.

Despite the high level of citizen participation –an online system was created for communities and organisations to submit their proposals– the process also faced controversy and criticism, especially due to the lack of cross-cutting agreements and some controversies involving certain Convention members. In addition fear-mongering and polarisation marketing campaign on social media and media were key factors that prevented the building of a broad consensus.

The final text, a 387-article document, was presented to the country in July 2022. The proposal included the creation of a social and democratic state of rights, a gender-sensitive justice system, and the protection of nature. However, on September 4, 2022, citizens went to the polls and rejected the text with 62% of the vote.

After the “rejection,” 15 former Constituents members, women political leaders, agreed to take the MHC course. They had been devastated by the result, some suffering from depression, mental health and illness issues due to the high professional and family costs entailed by the process.
The Mighty Heart course became a beautiful restoration and healing process for them and also a return to passion for their positions as agents of social and political change, as most of them stated at the beginning of the course that they wanted to leave politics after the aggression and psychological violence they experienced during the Constituent Assembly process.

At the end of the course, all the constituents declared their desire to return to their social and political work, but above all, to a new form of community leadership from the heart.

Testimonials from participants on the MHC Course:

What has resonated with me the most has been to remember the present moment, not to freeze and to reconnect with myself…That has been a huge gift for me.
Workshop participant

Learning and applying this proposal is a priority for the politics of transformation and for the leaders of the 21st century, which must primarily integrate a political conception of movements of consciousness, of the path of nonviolence, and the experience of people like the guest teachers of the course who apply Mighty Heart tools in their activism.
Workshop participant

A very important lesson that this wonderful course has taught me is realising that in my activism in defence of nature and common goods, many times I have been on the opposite side of the Mighty Heart, being confrontational and closing communication channels for the anger and frustration that injustice generates in me, blocking the possibility of moving forward. These tools give me the possibility of doing it in a different way, I am grateful for everything I have learned.
