Answering the Call

We are in the midst of one of the most pivotal rites of passage in human history. With compounding crises that can escalate globally, conscious leadership is no longer optional—it’s essential.

The future is uncertain, and we are being called to grow into higher levels of consciousness. This means embracing uncertainty, developing trust, facing our fears, and healing our pain.

The Leadership Quest is your guide to navigating transformation. You’ll learn how to:

  • Work with paradox instead of resisting it

  • Break free from dualistic thinking

  • Transform complexity and uncertainty into opportunities for emergence

  • Tap into the future potentials of higher orders of reality

This is the foundational course for developing your transformative leadership capacities.

Your ability to hold space for emergence, regeneration, and transformation can be the difference between breakdown and breakthrough.

Through Seven Masterclasses and Seven Conscious Leadership Practices, you’ll gain the knowledge, wisdom, and experiential tools to move through this collective rite of passage.

With Seven Practice Sessions, you’ll also learn to embody and deepen your leadership capacities for both inner and outer transformation.

Join The Leadership Quest and step into the leadership our world needs now.

A Personal Invitation to The Leadership Quest

My life’s work has been dedicated to empowering people and organizations for this pivotal transition—the shift into a new era. Through over two decades of deep inner transformation and Ph.D.-level research in systemic transformation, I’ve uncovered key insights about evolutionary leadership:

  • It begins with developing evolutionary consciousness—understanding the language and intelligence of life's evolutionary process.

  • It’s about weaving inner and outer transformation, especially in times of crisis, uncertainty, and growing pressures.

  • Leadership is not a title or job description—it’s a calling. It’s a journey of initiation into higher states of consciousness, purpose, and service.

During times of profound change, we need support to expand our consciousness, deepen our understanding, and develop our capacities. That’s why I created The Leadership Quest—to guide you through the states of consciousness that activate your evolutionary potential and help you step into a more expanded awareness of life, the universe, and reality.

For years, I’ve facilitated The Leadership Quest online to support leaders, visionaries, influencers, and change agents like yourself in answering the call of evolutionary leadership. This course is more than just a program—it’s a quest filled with transformative resources, practices, and teachings designed to elevate your leadership to entirely new levels.

Most importantly, it will prepare you to embrace your calling as an evolutionary leader—for yourself and for the world.

Dr. Jean Houston

Dr Jean Houston

internationally acclaimed Author & Founder of the Human Potential Movement

"Dr. Anneloes Smitsman is a leader and pioneer in the development of the architecture of creating civilizations that enhance the wellbeing of both person and planet. In this she is a treasure trove of ingenuity and wisdom. She is one whom leaders in social evolution regard as the person who has the genius to implement the revolutionary solutions and visions that can advance the necessary development of both people and planet. I, as well as many others, regard Anneloes as a female Einstein. I met prof Einstein when I was 8 years old, and he told me that his greatest quality was imagination, a quality which Anneloes shares abundantly and which informs her extraordinary creative gifts. She is a living example of what it means to walk the path of the emerging future human."

Dr Jude Currivan

As a teacher, guide and companion, she is a loving and hopeful gift of Spirit to the world."

What You’ll Learn in The Leadership Quest

Consider this quest your rite of passage—an initiation into evolutionary and conscious leadership. A rite of passage marks a profound transition, opening new realms of possibility and awakening higher states of consciousness that unlock entirely new capacities.

Through The Leadership Quest, you’ll receive the essential guidance and support to take your next evolutionary step. You’ll explore uncharted dimensions within yourself and discover possibilities you may never have considered. This journey will equip you with the capacities to thrive through this transition time, turning challenges into life-enhancing opportunities—not just for yourself, but for the transformation of the world around you.

At the heart of this quest are 7 Conscious Leadership Practices, grounded in the Leadership Alchemy Process I’ve developed over two decades of pioneering work in evolutionary leadership. This process is designed to help you navigate the darkness of transformation—a crucial aspect of profound change.

What is Leadership Alchemy?
Alchemy, the ancient practice of transforming base metals like lead into gold, was always about something deeper—the elevation of consciousness. Leadership Alchemy applies this wisdom to leadership, showing us how to transmute our heaviest and darkest emotions—fear, pain, anger, and division—into trust, regeneration, healing, compassion, and conscious leadership.

During times of transition, this process is essential. It teaches us how to embrace uncertainty, move beyond dualistic thinking, and step into higher states of consciousness where true leadership emerges.

Are you ready to embark on this life-transforming journey?

“I am eager for more of the initiation”

I feel I was initiated in the field that Anneloes brings forth and I have so much gratitude for this. Because of the profound nature of the times that we are in, we are of course being initiated but we don’t have very many places to go to for entering into initiation that are a through-line from the ancient wisdom traditions and the Indigenous traditions in a way that is so alive in Anneloes. I am eager for more of the initiation, and I am eager to go back into the meditations, to go back into the field and to receive it again and again. The meditations are so profound and they continue to work you. I am looking forward to deepening in this practice. For coming into conscious leadership and to be of the greatest service  that you can possibly be, you can’t get there without this kind of support. 

~ Sheri Herndon, ecosystem architect and evolutionary leader

 

"I found your mentorship of great help"

Thank you Anneloes and EARTHwise Centre for all your support. I found your mentorship of great help this summer as the racing competition I have competed in this season has been very trying at times. I have learned that there are many ways to see the world and people. If you look for the good, you will find it, and if you look for the bad, you will find that, too. I am now focussing on looking for the good.  Everyone experiences hardship or sadness of some sort, but it is how you can engage the uncertain times that matters.  Support through programs like yours allows people to heal and discover a deeper understanding of themselves. Thank you, as I genuinely appreciate the help you put forward to bring personal peace and harmony into the world.

“What she brought was just what I had been longing for”

I felt like I stepped into a sacred circle of women, where I knew I was held lovingly and safely as I delved into the questions I was carrying in my heart. During this time together, I unearthed some golden nuggets because of the unique context, perspective, teachings, practices, and principles that Anneloes brings in such a beautiful, powerful, and heart-centered way. It was apparent that the richness of these teachings was distilled from her many years steeped in Ancient Wisdom teachings, Indigenous ways, and current scientific research. What she brought was just what I had been longing for so I might more deeply explore and discover some answers to questions I had been contemplating for quite some time. It was as if some missing pieces of a puzzle I had been working on for many years were shown to me, and as they found their place, the entirety of the picture I couldn’t quite fully see now came into view in all of its beauty and wholeness. I feel immensely honored, blessed, and grateful for having had this opportunity to embark on this quest with Anneloes as my guide.

"In truth, I think the quest is a gift that keeps on giving"

When I began the leadership quest, I had initially been disorganized and scattered, likely a result of summer school and  sickness. I had not been able to attend the live sessions due to  summer school, but I was able to watch the recordings in my own time. Starting with the first season, I could feel a gradual, but meaningful change begin to occur. Through each of the lessons, the meditations, and the self-reflection, I learned more and more not only about myself but also about perspectives I hadn’t considered before and ways of looking at the world. Other things I had known before but hadn’t truly explored until going through the exercises, being more introspective and pondering the meaning of those thoughts.  Although, I have learned much from the quest and “finished” it, I think there’s still more to the lessons and teachings for me to discover, even now. As such, I will be going back into the lessons to review and think differently about what is in them.  I will be using what I’ve learned and integrated it into my life, in day-to-day circumstances, hard times, and even in ways I haven't thought of yet. In truth, I think the quest is a gift that keeps on giving, and although I hadn’t finished viewing the lessons until recently, I predict I will be coming back to it in the future.

"Truly amazing, providing such wonderful ways to be conscious and synchronous, to flow and grow"

The Leadership Quest that I began with like-minded learners has enlightened me on many levels from personal matters to matters from others around me. There were issues that I was dealing with at one point, and due to the insights I’ve gathered from the others in the group as well as from myself, I was able to identify and properly handle them, and I learned from them, having solved them! The support I received and continue to receive inspirational learning and it helps me find my own clarity, even if I don’t know the answers, as I’m confident in myself even more than before! The skills and tools that I’ve received are truly amazing, providing such wonderful ways to be conscious and synchronous, to flow and grow!
