Awakening inner freedom in service to collective flourishing
This 5-week, practice-focused experience offers a powerful introduction to the WeShift approach—distilling key principles, practices, and inquiries from our full 20-week fellowship, the WeShift Institute, into an accessible, immersive taste of what’s possible when we shift to me to We.
In just five weeks, you’ll experience a meaningful exploration of the WeShift model—where mindfulness meets collective transformation through shared inquiry and practice.
Whether you’re new to awareness-based social change or seeking a shorter, high-impact journey, this program stands on its own and serves as a springboard to deeper engagement through our full-length WeShift Fellowship.

The Power of the WeShift Approach
Insights from WeShift Fellowship participants
Meet Your Facilitator: Lisa Napora, PhD
As Founding Director of The Mindfulness Alliance, Lisa is devoted to cultivating environments where awareness, connection, and care guide the inner shift from me to We. Her work lives at the intersection of inner evolution and outer change, where awareness becomes a catalyst for collective healing.
A lifelong contemplative, she speaks the language of transformation as fluently as her own breath. Rooted in mindfulness and ancient wisdom traditions, Lisa’s path as an educator, speaker, and contemplative guide is animated by a deep belief in the power of collective awareness to reshape the world.
Lisa designs and facilitates experiences that awaken relational capacity and bridge inner awareness with meaningful outer action—for the wellbeing of all. She stewards innovative programming that blends contemplative insight with social systems change, helping individuals and organizations reimagine what’s possible when we-centered awareness shapes how we think, relate, and co-create.
Holding a doctorate in Educational Leadership, Lisa serves as a Visiting Scholar at the University at Buffalo and teaches Mindful and Quantum Leadership for the State University of New York’s Leadership Institute, which serves 64 campuses statewide. No matter the forum, her work invites people to show up more fully, connect more deeply, and engage in the inner journey of awakening freedom–together.
