I am a Psychosynthesis Executive Leadership Coach with further qualifications in systemic and embodiment disciplines. In the last 3 years I have been an Executive Leadership Coach, for clients located in Jersey and London. My clients are women in senior leadership roles, who are responsible for innovative change. I have over 30 years experience as a Chartered Accountant supporting the financial planning, financial management and development of business cases for the design and implementation of change up to the value of half a billion pounds in the public health care sector. This is invaluable in understanding and relating to the difficulties my leadership clients face implementing sustainable global change. As a qualified teacher of adults, I have experience teaching and facilitating change for professionals. With a passion for continual personal and professional development, I have qualifications in psychology, mindfulness, and embodiment practices. I use these skills with clients to manage and moderate their responses to change. Within my Parish Community in the last 3 years, I led the development of a strategy for Grouville to support the achievement of carbon neutrality. Environmental Grouville is a community driven platform established by me, dedicated to achieving the implementation of our carbon neutrality strategy and protecting the environment. I have played a leading role in collaboration with other Parishioners in envigorating historic democratic processes through the Parish Assemblies. Attendances of more than 200 parishioners were recorded for the contested Roads Committee election and the 2022 successful Requฤte which contributed to amendments to the Island Bridging Plan, in particular to preserving Grouvilleโs important wetlands. When parishioners collaborate, they co-create a vision for the whole community. Flatter group structures with partnerships that use the best of different talents and experiences empower individuals and result in quicker implementation of change. My top 8 strengths are:
Exploring Possibilities - developing concepts, applying theories & identifying underlying principles
Providing Insights - continuously improving things, identifying key issues, & making intuitive judgments
Examining Information - processing information, asking probing questions & finding solutions
Understanding People - showing empathy, listening to people & understanding motivation
Developing Strategies - forming strategies, anticipating trends & envisaging the future
Generating Ideas
Challenging Ideas
Convincing People

It is in the darkest moment of the Winter Solstice that the Summer Solstice is born.
The darkness is the place of great mystery in all wisdom traditions. If we are willing to release what is no longer serving us to the darkness, we find the luminosity; insights and wisdom that will lead us on our path to value, meaning & purpose. Our soul's path. We discover that there is pure potential in the emptiness of the dark void. We face a death that feeds a birth of new potential. Potential that is always there within us.
Join Kat Milner from Womens Wellbeing Jersey and me, Sarah Howard, for this magical mini yoga retreat where we will reconnect to our body, nature and the playful spark of the festive season.
3 hours of yoga, mindfulness, breathwork and discussion (if you want to), in women's circle. A depth embodiment experience. You will leave feeling enlightened, relaxed and more integrated.
Reclaim sovereignty over your feeling states, the chemistry of your nervous system and the energetic frequency you emit. At this wild edge of evolution there is joy & excitement, the spark of something new.
Dear Synthesis Yoga Community! Regular weekly yoga classes in the yoga studio end this week, but the final Synthesis event for 2025 is the Winter Solstice Yurt Yoga Retreat for women on Saturday 20th December 2pm to 5pm.

***Update: NOW FULL***
Generations of economic stability have separated us from the cycles and rhythms of nature. We have forgotten how to autumn and winter. We have forgotten about the connection of our body to the earth. Our daily lives are becoming more stressful due to economic and climate changes out of our control. We don't know how to respond. There are no logical fixes to the global chaos. We have to move with this powerful force and open the door to personal and systemic transformation. Autumn and wintering is a process of grief. A natural way to detox, release, and move through change.
The new moon in Scorpio is exact on Thursday 20th November. We will be gathering in the yoga studio on Monday 17th November at 7.30pm just as the moon is moving into Scorpio. The very beginnings of the new moon phase for November. The energies of this new moon are powerful. Supporting us to listen in, feel the discomfort in our body, shed old patterns through compassion, forgiveness and acceptance. Igniting our free will choice to recognise our value and self-worth. This new moon is a rite of passage into feeling safe and grounded in our body, in our relationships and in our daily lives.
In this 90-minute session we will be moving with ta***ic goddess Tara. Tara means star. We will track her shakti infused energy of compassion and truth through our body, shedding old patterns, like a snake sheds its outgrown skin. The yoga will take place in a circle of women. We will use energy practices and discussion to support us to illuminate and drop attachments to our identity.
My work at Synthesis encourages us back into our body, emotions and energy field. Reconnecting to nature through our senses. The nervous system is of key importance in the process. Soothing, calming and unpacking the trauma that we hold within our entire body. A somatic approach is central, but that combined with talking and coaching facilitates empowerment through activation of willpower.
We will use the vibe of this new moon to reflect, release, and prioritise actions for the next 28-day cycle of change.

Being really stirred by the Mahavidyas this morning as I do some preparation for classes. Things that are touching me?
* Grief -ย Dhumavati
* Shame - Bhairavi
* Judgement - Bhuvanesvari
I feel it all in my chest, particularly around my sternum and my throat. Do you feel it too?
Das Mahavidyas are an intrinsic part of Traditional Ta**ra and our Shakti - creative force.
I will be bringing some of the material to the Yurt Yoga on Saturday 1st Nov, and we will move with the Mahavidyas in my new moon yoga sessions. Next one is in Monday 17th November. Join me in a safe space to explore our vulnerability, the precursor to courage, creativity, change and innovation!๐ฅ

Synthesis hosts discovery for change within a framework of Evolutionary Leadership. Its evolved in an organic and integrative way over three decades of the founders professional training, commercial experience, personal journeying, and determination to become authentic and whole. We are all leaders in some aspect of our daily lives, and in these roles we are facing huge challenges. We are at a unique turning point in the history of humanity where old systems are breaking down through external challenges beyond our control, including political conflicts, acts of terrorism, natural disasters, inequality in private asset ownership, the decline in natural resources and the disruption of ecosystems through industrial pollution. We are all impacted by these external forces in our personal and working lives. This breakdown is part of a natural order in any complex system making way for a new paradigm to emerge. We are at a point of global transformation, a chaotic and seemingly unstable place, however within the chaos there is a new order waiting to be perceived.
Synthesis provides a supportive holding environment for you to unpack, understand and integrate the whole of yourself in everything that you do. Through this process you will find innovative solutions to problems providing stepping stones toward transformation. Whether your leadership role is large or small, within a corporate, family or group environment, Synthesis has a track record of supporting your change goals.
Sarah Howard
Sarah brings logic, enthusiasm and creativity in a collaborative approach that provide the essential elements of true innovation. She has decades of top level commercial experience combined with a unique robustness in the softer, more fluid aspects of change.
Her first professional qualification as a Chartered Accountant provided the foundations of understanding systems and controls, within a wide variety of different organisations, both in the private and public sectors. Her career has taken her into short, medium and long term planning where she has developed the ability to support leaders at all levels plan and implement change in large and small organisations by providing a vision in financial terms.โ
Her second professional qualification, a Cert Ed in adult education, opened emotional intelligence as well as an ability to communicate in a variety of different ways to support understanding and enhance learning.โ
Sarah's third professional qualification as a Leadership Coach draws together her earlier academic successes. Through the coaching training - supported by substantial in depth experiential learning in Psychosynthesis, a holistic model of psychology - creativity has emerged within her well-established logical framework of understanding. All this culminates in a trifocal vision bringing a deep understanding that the evolution of groups and organisations requires work at an individual level as well as at the group or organisational level, with both at an inner and outer domain.โ
Additionally Sarah brings two decades worth of unique skills in energy work and alternative wellbeing practices which are essential in evolutionary transformation. Her personal experience is that ignoring any element of ones self - physical, mental, emotional or energetic/spiritual - may result in an imbalance and an inability to bring about the desired change. Sarah believes that humanity has become fragmented and to evolve we need to integrate the whole of ourselves in everything that we do; otherwise we are on an annihilation trajectory.โ
When you follow your passion, your life unfolds in truly miraculous ways. Its a constant evolution where Sarah believes she has become bigger both personally and professionally. Sarah describes herself as an evolutionary leader working in personal development and corporate innovation. Through Synthesis, Sarah invites you to become self empowered by stepping onto your personal journey. You will be invited to take a 360 degree look at yourself inside out and outside in. You will see what hinders and helps you. You will get in touch with your body, your thoughts, your emotions and your energy field. All of her work has evolved through lived experience underpinned by psychological theory and scientific research.
