Val Silidker, MS, BCC, is the Founder and Director of Psychospiritual Institute. She is a Board Certified mindset and leadership coach and coach trainer, and has been coaching individuals and facilitating groups for over 20 years, specializing in transpersonal psychology, WTR and eco-therapy, leadership skills, and holistic business. Val is also a Deep Ecologist, an international speaker, and author of Call of the Ecological Self. She has been featured multiple times on Hay House Radio, NBC, and USA Today, as well as numerous publications.

Val works with emerging leaders and mission-driven entrepreneurs, who feel the shift in our world and want to be a catalyst for change. She supports people to deepen their self-awareness and develop personal and global leadership skills so they can confidently achieve their full potential and inspire the world through their unique gifts. Over the past few decades, she has also produced close to one hundred small and large-scale mindful-living events, retreats, and workshops, and gratefully inspired the transformation of tens of thousands of people world-wide.

Val is passionate about psychological and spiritual maturity, nature and the human psyche, and rewilding our hearts and our world. Her deepest vision is to help people remember who they are so they can live a fulfilled life, reconnect with a greater vision for humanity, and contribute wholeheartedly to our changing world.

Why I am called to facilitate the Work

My Great Work in our world is to help us remember who we are in the deepest context so that we can experience what is it to be fully alive and contribute whole-heartedly to a more compassionate, connected and whole world.

I am in love with Life. And this love guides me in sharing my gifts with the world.  As an evolutionary activist, deep ecologist and psychosynthesis coach with a passion for consciousness and cosmology, I love to inspire others to fall in love with themselves and our world while courageously living an authentic life.  

Sometimes this looks like chaos in the depths of positive disintegration, other times it is the sun rising over the snow capped mountains, breathing in a new day.  All of it fills us, shapes us and guides us deeper into our world.

How I see the Work serving the Great Turning

This work awakens us to the joy of being alive. It reminds us of Beauty and profound love, the kind of love that expands our capacity to hold all of our experiences; the kind of love transforms worlds. It is practical, spiritual, the teachings are transformative, and the experiential nature of the Work allows us to embody the natural intelligence and collective wisdom within all of us so that we can become the Hope of our world.

Audiences I work with

I work with change-makers and emerging leaders, who are ready to dive in to the deepest work of rewilding, embracing psycho-spiritual wholeness and creating a positive impact on our world.
