ABOUT
"Don’t ask yourself what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do that, because what the world needs is people who have come alive.”
— Howard Thurman
Who We Are
Soulful Impact is a community of world-class practitioners building a bridge between the mystical and the practical.
We’ve trained with some of the world’s best coaches, teachers, leaders, and guides. We’ve helped hundreds of people, including top-tier executives and CEOs, connect more deeply to their inner truth and live a life of profound meaning, joy, freedom, and service.
We believe that making an impact that’s deeply rooted in soul is not only the most fulfilling life path imaginable, but also precisely what the world needs most right now.
We believe that the best way to make a positive impact is to remember and embody your soul’s true calling, and our goal with everything we do is to support you in that journey.
We offer transformational experiences, services and content designed to help you come fully alive, lead with purpose and presence, and create authentic, aligned and regenerative impact.
Our Team
As the founder of Soulful Impact, Brooks weaves together transformational coaching, wilderness-based vision quests, and sacred plant medicine work to empower the next generation of soulful leaders building a regenerative future.
Working closely with the medicine of Mother Nature, Brooks helps us redefine our relationship to that which is greater than ourselves to create tangible, practical shifts in our lives. He helps us move with the flow of life rather than against it, so that we can make the difference our souls came here to make and deeply enjoy the ride.
