This workshop grew out of conversations with hundreds of social entrepreneurs and changemakers that revealed three things:
Almost all of us have had an experience of knowing something we couldn't have known.
Fewer of us access that way of knowing deliberately in our work.
Almost none of us talk about it openly in professional spaces.
Together, we'll explore the conditions that support the emergence of deep knowing and demystify 'intuition' and 'gut feelings' by introducing Vibrational Intelligence, an emergent framework that gives structure to something that can often feel numinous, eye-rolly, or taboo in linear settings.
We'll also look at real life examples in which practices of Vibrational Intelligence have shaped leadership, research, and convenings.
For participants who are already comfortable with non-linear and non-Western ways of knowing, this may give you framing and language to introduce these practices to others.
For those who are skeptical or hesitant, you'll come away with an embodied experience of deep knowing and concrete, accessible tools you can integrate into your work right away.
This is an interactive experience with small group work throughout. In other words, don’t join while driving :)
About Michael
Michael Kass is a leadership coach, facilitator, storyteller and creator of Vibrational Intelligence (VQ), a five-part framework for developing the capacity to attune to, discern between and act from layers of information that live beyond analytical thought. His work grows from a simple premise: human beings have not lost intuition, embodied knowing or sensitivity to the energy of people and places — modern culture has trained us not to trust them.
His work is especially timely as AI accelerates the cognitive capacities Western culture already overvalues and forces a deeper question: what forms of intelligence do humans need to remember in order to meet and navigate this moment?
For years, Michael lived the split he now challenges. His professional life moved through storytelling, organizational and financial strategy, executive coaching and facilitation while, in parallel, he practiced breathwork, energy work and other forms of transformational practice. He often felt he had to translate, hide or separate those worlds to remain credible. VQ emerged as the bridge: a shared language for bringing soul, intuition, non-ordinary reality, embodiment, relationship and strategy into the same conversation without requiring a particular religion or cosmology.
Today, Michael works with leaders and teams to strengthen five trainable capacities — Attunement, Range, Discernment, Trust & Action, and Tending — so they can sense more of what is happening, distinguish signal from projection, and act from a wider field of intelligence.
