About Rebel Human:
A rebel human is someone who has the strength and clarity of purpose to go against norms in order to bring about constructive change for themself and the world around them. They do the hard thing when it's the right thing.

Rebel Human offers a video-based program for high schools, classes, retreats, small-group and corporate events and trainings that build rebel humans: individuals who push back against norms that are harmful to themselves and others and act in accordance with their values regardless of the status quo.

Science Based - If we want to change our physiology in real time we need to use things that are both under our control AND connected to the autonomic nervous system. These are our entry points for change. Breath, focus, movement, and self-talk are these entry points. These are the “dials you can turn” in any given moment to dramatically change how you show up for your life.

The programming at Rebel Human uses movement, meditation, and creative expression to develop the core competencies of resilience, equanimity, and transcendence (read our FAQs for more on these), the building blocks of a rebel human. Movement strengthens the nervous system, building resilience in the body that translates to resilience in our lives. Meditation actively trains the brain to process and navigate difficult emotions with equanimity and clarity. Creative expression allows a reimagining of a better world for ourself and others while actively connecting us with our values and greater purpose. The world needs more rebel humans, learn to be one now.
