Who We Are
Conscious Revolution is a social impact organization dedicated to imagining and creating alternative futures. We support leaders and organizations in expanding and deepening their consciousness through transformative experiences, including conscious leadership programs, immersive retreats, leadership coaching, innovative facilitation, and holistic human resources support. Our strategies, tools, and processes are designed to spark meaningful change at both the individual and organizational levels, building sustainable momentum that empowers leaders to transform themselves, their teams, and their organizations.
What We Value
We Are Human
We hold the full range of human experience, joy and grief, rest and action, uncertainty and clarity. To be fully human, we need space, laughter, boundaries, humility, and connection. We bring our whole humanity into our work, honoring our interdependence and our commitment to the well-being of all beings and the Earth.
We Choose Responsiveness
We create space to pause before reacting, allowing us to respond with intention rather than impulse. Circumstances change, and we choose flexibility while staying aligned with our values. We commit with clarity and integrity, ensuring our words and actions reflect thoughtful intention.
We Question The Status Quo
We avoid binary thinking and interrogate what we’ve inherited as “normal.” By staying curious and intentional, we explore alternative futures and build with imagination and purpose.
We Seek Joy
The world is changing, and so are we, growing and evolving together. Embracing this evolution with curiosity and care is a joyful endeavor! We find opportunities to celebrate and honor one another, and laugh, connect, and have fun together.
Meet Our Team
As a team, we are dedicated to elevating our own conscious leadership. Our personal learning informs our holistic conscious leadership approach. Through transformative experiences, coaching, and hands-on support and consultation, we influence you to think differently, learning to rely on your own instincts.

I’ve got a couple of things I’m doing that I’d call my life’s joy (formerly called life’s work). Being a mom to my two kids gives me a chance to directly influence two people that will do great things in this beautiful, chaotic, wild world. Yes!
My life’s joy is also helping leaders build inspiring organizations that they love. There’s no better way to spend precious life time! The unique organizations we create together impact so many people for the better.
I have been told I’m a catalyst for transformation. To do this work I have a commitment to be awake in every aspect of my life, a commitment to equity and abundance, and a vow to be content in being both polished and a messy work in progress.
Witty things make me laugh. Kindred spirits fill me up. I love the sky, trees and water. Ask me to travel, sing, dance, hike, or see live music and I’m immediately in. Skiing and camping are a blast once you’ve started but the prep almost makes me not want to go. Someday I’ll be deeply settled in my body and soul and helping others to do the same.
And yeah, I have all those credentials one typically needs to be declared legit. Twenty-five plus wisdom-building years grinding it out as a global HR leader; Undergrad in Human Resources, Masters in Organizational Development & Leadership, Certifications galore. In 2019, I became one of the world’s first Certified Conscious Capitalism Consultants.
Our work together will fill everyone, including us, with joy and inspiration. Yes, we can do that! Yes, that’s what we are doing! Join us!

I’m Margot, a community weaver, advocate for radical transformation, and lifelong learner. My roots stretch from a third-generation New York lineage with Russian and Polish ancestry to the place we now call Portland, Maine, where I’ve spent over 25 years building connections and nurturing community. I find joy in walking by the ocean with my partner, learning alongside my kids, playing in the garden, creating art, and making soup without recipes.
Throughout my career, I’ve worked within organizations and systems, fostering change on issues such as food sovereignty, incarceration, youth resiliency, and alternatives to exclusionary practices. My experience includes working on large-scale political campaigns and alongside government systems, advocating for inclusivity and responsiveness at every level. I have been deeply shaped by my work as a co-founder and Co-Executive Director of Maine Inside Out, an organization I helped bring to life that uses theater as a tool for social change, centering people most directly impacted by incarceration. In my role as Co-Executive Director, I worked collaboratively across different identities, guiding the organization’s vision, planning, and operational growth. I also nurtured MIO’s sustainability framework, focusing on non-traditional governance and shared decision-making processes.
In addition to my organizational work, I am passionate about facilitating groups and curating transformative experiences that empower individuals and communities. I aim to bring people together in meaningful and joyful ways, creating spaces where people can learn, be heard, be held, and grow…whether in a workshop, a retreat, or a collective action.
While my journey has been influenced by hands-on, organizational experience, I also graduated from Bates College, received a Master of Social Work (MSW) from the University of Southern Maine and have a Clinical Social Work License. These academic experiences have provided me with useful tools that complement my practical work and deepen my understanding of collective healing and change.
My approach focuses on trust, collaboration, and growth, and I am committed to fostering spaces where people can evolve individually and collectively. My work continues to be driven by a desire to support lasting change and ongoing evolution, whether that’s with individuals, organizations, communities, or systems.
When I’m not working, you can find me outside, connecting with the natural world and finding comfort in the simple acts of creating, collaborating, and being as present as possible in the moment.

Dr. Zoe Spencer says “I am wise enough to know that I know nothing at all.” She is a scholar/strategist/activist from Barry Farms projects in DC. She currently teaches sociology at Virginia State University. She is a published author and a highly sought after speaker and presenter. Most importantly she is a freedom fighter, a seeker of truth, and unapologetic in her purpose of making a better world for humanity, no matter how small the mark. She says: I am a microcosm of the Universe, in real life. I was put here to perform a task, maybe even to take this test…test my faith, test my humility, test my obedience, test my resilience, test my focus…test my willingness to simply admit that every blessing is given to carry out a divine purpose…And the closer I get to actualization, the more I realize that I am just a vessel, on loan to this Earth to see what I will do here, to tell stories, fight, love, and then leave…hopefully a legacy-a lingering spirit- that will live on-long after my body is no more.

Taylor Paul was appointed by the governor to his juvenile justice and prevention board and just recently the governor’s department of criminal justice service board as well. Taylor Paul is cofounder of RVA League for Safer Streets, an unorthodox basketball program that focuses on problem solving, critical thinking and conflict resolution for high risk youth in the city of Richmond, VA. He’s also the founder of THE S.A.N.I.T.Y. Project (Standing Against Negative Influences Toward Youth), a program that takes aim at incarcerated fathers and their children. Paul Taylor served 23 years of a life plus 26 year sentence, and was paroled on his 11th try in 2017, returning to his community as Taylor
Paul, the opposite of the man who went in. He’s passionate about restoring humanity back inside of people challenging all racial biases and social injustices. Taylor Paul shared his story in the Richmond Post-Dispatch and more recently at Philadelphia Citizen’s Ideas We Should Steal Festival.
