Dr Cathy-Mae Karelse is an independent specialist in deep systems change and decolonization with over 20 years' expertise in social transformation and shifting mental models. As a Bridger, she is trained in numerous transformation approaches that address the underlying social norms and narratives that keep institutionalised and systemic discrimination in place. She designs and develops customised change-making strategies at multiple levels to shepherd meaningful transformation and has worked with corporates, policy institutes, communities, and global programs on pathways that generate embodied liberation and collective leadership to make love and justice one. As author of 'Disrupting White Mindfulness: Race and Racism in the Wellbeing Industry', she foregrounds global south, indigenous, and queer knowledges that elevate communal consciousness. Her practice increasingly draws on elemental and mycelial approaches to worldmaking.
