Marion Birnstill

In a world characterized by rapid change, deeply ingrained patterns, and complexity, I am thrilled to introduce Inner Ripple. Having spent two decades working in Global Health and more recently in system change and transformation, I have come to realise the critical importance of cultivating our individual and collective consciousness for positive transformation. Inner-led change is needed to increase our capacity to break old patterns, co-create the future we want and for new paradigms to emerge. This realization has inspired the birth of Inner Ripple.

My past experience has honed my understanding of the intricate ties between inner spaciousness and future consciousness. I've dedicated my career to fostering meaningful collaborations across various sectors, driving collective action and systemic thinking towards impactful social change.

My passion lies at the intersection of human flourishing, conscious leadership, and systems change. Through countless collaborations with inspiring leaders and organizations, I've facilitated leadership programs and ecosystem meetings designed to foster systemic collaboration. My approach is rooted in tools, presence, and deep listening, enabling both individuals and ecosystems to navigate and transform complex challenges into pragmatic systemic actions.
