OUR STORY
INSIGHT was founded in 2013 to serve high-impact leaders by enhancing their perception, awakening the power of their creative intelligence, and changing the shape of how they lead.
Today, ten years later, INSIGHT serves leaders across all domains of leadership, from corporate and small business to political, cultural, and community. Our Facilitators guide practitioners into practices, meditations, and contemplations that aim to purify, strengthen, illuminate, and expand all aspects of physical, psychological, emotional, and spiritual intelligence.
Beyond our 1-1 mentorship work, INSIGHT partners with organizations of all sizes to optimize and awaken organizational systems and structures, bringing sustainable harmony through operational excellence.
In 2022, we launched the INSIGHT Apprenticeship Program. The first of its kind, the training is designed to impart and awaken the awareness, knowledge, understanding, and skill necessary to facilitate INSIGHT.
MISSION
We believe in the power and potential of the awakened individual.
One who embodies awareness, authenticity, and integrity while possessing a healthy relationship to Self and a thoughtful, responsible connection to the whole.
Our mission is to optimize and awaken leaders, organizations, and communities whose relentless commitment to a positive and sustainable impact is evident in their every action.
OUR FACILITATORS
Kevin Courtney
PRINCIPLE FACILITATOR
Kevin Courtney is a meditation, mindfulness, and conscious leadership expert. In his twenties, Kevin found himself consumed by work in business development and consulting for companies like Coca-Cola, Procter & Gamble, and GM. His high-paced career was met by two cataclysmic events: being diagnosed with a life-threatening stage of cancer & witnessing the tragedy of 9/11 from just a few blocks away. He knew he was destined for a different path.
Kevin abruptly left his corporate career, committing himself to the study of psychology, yoga, and meditation. A life-long student, Kevin centered his 25 years of learning in the teachings of Richard Freeman, Swami Satchidananda, Nikki Costello, and Rod Stryker. Rooted in the teachings and in practice, he founded INSIGHT in 2013.
His work has been featured in Human Shift, Well + Good, VOGUE, The New York Times, VICE, and YOGA The Secret of Life. His album Nada Sadhana, an ideal instrumental soundtrack for bodywork sessions, yoga classes, walking meditation, or relaxation, has 5.8 million plays on Spotify.
Kevin currently lives in Santa Monica, CA, and continues expanding his teachings’ reach through mentorship, online meditations, workshops, and retreats.
Julianne Aerhee
FACILITATOR
Julianne Aerhee is a yoga teacher and INSIGHT facilitator whose purpose is to support practitioners in experiencing a life of increased joy, connection, and awe.
Julianne was fascinated by the human body's intelligence and how it embodies all aspects of our psyche long before she landed on her mat.
A professional dancer through her early 20s and a student of psychology, communications, and exercise physiology, Julianne saw bridging the maps of our mind, body, heart, and Spirit as a way to bridge each of us to the world at large.
Julianne has brought yoga & mindfulness practices to the NFL Dolphins Business Combine, the NBA Miami Heat, and the Friendship Music Festival. She continues to work with organizations across the entertainment, sports, performance, tech, and product development sectors to bring mindfulness into new arenas.
Erin Rose Ward
FACILITATOR, IN-APPRENTICESHIP
Erin Rose Ward is an embodiment teacher and INSIGHT Apprentice who has been on a path of heart-centered service for over a decade.
She began her journey on the spiritual path as a teenager living in New York City and struggling with an eating disorder. It was this dark night of the soul that led her to the medicines of yoga, meditation, and counseling. Through a blend of ancient wisdom and modern psychology, she transformed her suffering into a devotional relationship to spirit and a commitment in supporting others in coming home to their true nature through practice, brave contemplation, and embodied self-love.
Erin has been trained in a multiplicity of healing modalities including yoga, meditation, somatic and spiritual psychology, breathwork, psychedelic assisted healing, and embodied movement practices. She considers herself to be the humble carrier of a toolkit that can support those she works with in grounding into the body, clarifying the mind, and opening to the limitless potentiality of the heart.
Erin currently lives in Topanga Canyon, CA where she offers public classes at The Class and The 360 Emergence. She offers multiple international retreats each year which focus on courageous exploration of our relationships to ourselves, each other, and the planet.
