Course: Lifeforce Leadership - with Fanny Fanny Norlin
Eros, Clarity and action in the digital age
begins Thursday, November 13th, 2025
In this seminar series I invite you to explore how the distorted relationship between the Masculine and Feminine has shaped today’s meaning crisis — what expression of them the digital era is calling for and how unleashing masculine wisdom and power in right relationship with the powerful feminine can build a new era worth loving, living, and dying for.
The seminar will be a mix of teaching, Q&A, guided embodiment practices, and dynamic fishbowl conversations where men and women can listen, ask, and learn directly from one another’s lived experience.
Her Calling
We stand at the threshold between worlds—watching old paradigms crumble while the new remains unborn. In this liminal space, we desperately need both men and women to rise into their full power and wisdom. Yet in most places, the dynamics between masculine and feminine are leading to the exact opposite movement—brutally tearing each other down.
Something fundamental has been distorted. The archetypal patterns of masculine and feminine, woven into our biology across tens of thousands of years, carry an unchangeable essence. When we work against these deep currents, it fractures something essential within us.
The roots of this distortion stretches back thousands of years. The true feminine—powerful, sexual, and vibrantly alive—has been systematically demonized. In losing our relationship to her authentic expression, we have simultaneously witnessed the masculine become equally distorted. The philosophical foundations laid by Confucius in the East and Plato in the West—with their emphasis on consciousness-first thinking, perfect eternal forms, and rigid linear structures—created the very paradigms that have led us further from our natural essence, eventually catapulting us into a global meaning crisis.
I am deeply grateful for the scientific progress and technological development of recent centuries. Modern civilisation and technology would never have been possible without transcendent spirituality, rational abstraction and attaining sovereignty from the immanent great mother. What was not necessary was to completely denounce the immanent—like an immature man stuck in teenage revolt against mother, instead of growing up and entering right relationship with a mature and sexy partner.
I love the masculine. I love human’s ability to imagine and create realities transcending far beyond our wildest dreams of what could be possible. I love rationality and technological advancement and we need much more of both to build a world worth living in.
And just as we need our sovereign masculine powers of rationality and technology, we need our sovereign feminine powers of spirituality and sexuality. We must remember and reclaim an adult relationship to divine immanence—the realization that it is precisely because everything and everyone will die that this life is sacred. Transcendence lies within immanence. There is no great other orchestrating from above, no transcendent place beyond earth. And that is fucking beautiful—that is the real truth of the feminine. This world is saturated with love, pulsing with life force, and alive with astonishing, complex patterns of emergence, if we dare to be present, open, and here enough to truly see and feel it. This world, just as it is, is profoundly magical.
Not everyone's archetype is designed to handle this brutal and beautiful truth. However, the spiritual leaders of our time desperately need to dare to meet the true feminine again, to remember how to be truly intimate with life and this moment. This is where the radiance of life exists. This is the only place we can find the truth and meaning that can fuel the rise of a decentralized digital age beyond distorted masculine centralism and authoritarianism.
This call from the feminine goes far beyond the most common current societal discourse. While the women's movement of the past century has thankfully and rightfully reclaimed women's agency, it has done little to restore true feminine power. Large parts of both the current feminist left and the men's world of the right are equally lost and destructive, based on the same platonic idealism as the currents they are fighting.
Leaving the false (and, if we're being honest, childlike) promises of control, divine order, and the savior myths of the past thousand years of religion and philosophy will not be easy. But it is an epic opportunity to be part of coming back into right relationship between the masculine and the feminine. This doesn't mean denouncing the technology and complex civilization that have been made possible. Rather the opposite. It does however mean understanding the appropriate time and place for the order, rationality, and transcendent myths of the sutric outer society, and the appropriate time and place for the aliveness, death, truth, and chaos of the tantric inner mystic realm.
These realms will be in never-ending tension, as they should be. They need to carry their own truth that will be in opposition, this is where the creative tension of life happens. There is no promise of harmony, and we should not strive for it. But we do desperately need a world where both exist, and where meaning and power are sourced from the appropriate place.

What will we cover?
In this seminar series, we will explore the authentic archetypes of the masculine and feminine, where we got lost and how they can be expressed constructively in the digital age. This seminar will of course not be able to complete this enormous task, but I have found some fascinating threads to start with.
My deepest practical wisdom in masculine and feminine leadership comes from my years as a C-level leader and management consultant, where I’ve spent the past eight years helping men and women come into right relationship in business with remarkable results. In this seminar, I will share my Lifeforce Leadership approach, which maps the core feminine and masculine archetypes of today and shows how they can work together to create extraordinary outcomes.
I speak from the lived experience I know best — my years inside leadership teams — and use what I’ve witnessed there to make sense of the larger forces shaping society. This inevitably simplifies complexity and paints with broad strokes, yet lived experience offers a depth of wisdom that abstract theory alone cannot reach. When I recognize the archetypal patterns at play in boardrooms, I see the same forces shaping politics, relationships, and our collective future.
I can of course only speak from my own embodied experience as a woman. My main contribution is uncovering this lost feminine leadership—her authentic expression, her power, and her intelligence. We'll retrieve ancient wisdom that has been buried while exploring what new expressions of leadership this digital age demands.
With this foundation in place, we will also explore masculine leadership through my perspective as a woman — looking at how the masculine can complement, collaborate with, and stand in right relationship to the feminine. I will share what we as women would love from the masculine and how we can invite and call forth his full presence, integrity, and power.
So this seminar is for:
Women who long for a powerful feminine worldview to ground their spirituality and leadership. Who wish to get a taste of embodying feminine leadership and who want to explore how to welcome men and the masculine to stand in their full power and integrity, so that together we can navigate the brutal, in-between era that lies ahead.
Men who are curious to understand the feminine more deeply; her role in the evolving digital paradigm and the masculine’s relationship to her within it, and who want to strengthen their own embodied masculine polarity in response.
COURSE CONTENT
Module 1: Feminine sexuality and spirituality throughout history - The Erotic Intelligence
Lecture and Q&A: Thursday, November 13, 10 am PST (Los Angeles), 1 pm EST (New York), 7 pm CET (Paris)

The erotic intelligence of the feminine
“The valley spirit never dies; it is called the mysterious female. The gateway of the mysterious female is the root of heaven and earth. Draw upon it as you will — it never runs dry.”
Lao Tzu
We will uncover the lost truth about what female sexuality is and why, for women, it is the foundation for everything.
Female sexuality and spirituality throughout history
Starting in humanity’s earliest, earth-connected days when the Great Mother was revered, we will trace how female spirituality and sexuality have been understood — from the great mother to the era of goddess-centered cultures and sacred eroticism, through the rise of philosophies and religions that cast the sexual feminine as sinful and dangerous, to the violent erasure of feminine power in witch hunts. Together, we will explore how this history has shaped today’s meaning crisis, and how unleashing masculine wisdom and power in right relationship with the feminine, an epic transcendence within divine immanence, can build a new era worth loving, living and dying for.
Campfire session
The first 45 minuets men and women will gather separately to for an embodied exploration and reflection on the theme of module 1
Women: Eros awakening embodiment and exploration
Men: Meeting the erotic feminine embodied exploration
Second 45 minutes — together
We return to a shared circle for fishbowl conversations: one group sits in the center speaking and sharing while the other offers their questions and listens with presence, then we switch. This creates space for men to ask women honest, curious questions about their experience of eros and vice versa. The intention is to invite curiosity and real-time learning from one another’s lived perspectives.

Introduction to lifeforce leadership
I will share my mapping of the digital age expressions of the feminine and masculine archetypes and how they collaborate in a business context. We will explore the three feminine awakenings and correlating intelligences: the eros awakening and the erotic intelligence, the power awakening and the natural intelligence and the mystic awakening and the mystic intelligence, as well as the main masculine archetypes of the holding and creating masculine. Specifically we will uncover the dance of eros, mystic intelligence and holding masculine, and feminine power and the creating masculine.
Power awakening
We will explore the power awakening of the feminine; what true feminine power looks like and how women standing fully in that power naturally invite men to stand in theirs. Without embodied power, it’s nearly impossible for women to create meaningful impact in the world. But when women claim their primal strength and align their words with the truth their bodies speak, the creating masculine can fully relax and lean in, instinctively offering his full devotion and energy.

Lifeforce leadership on a societal lens
We will explore the roles of the feminine and masculine archetypes in shaping a world where the sutric, transcendent masculine and the tantric, divine immanence of the feminine stand in right relationship. In particular, we will examine the essential place of the Crone, Priest, and Chief and how their constructive expressions can serve and lead in the digital age.
Mystic awakening and the Crone
We will explore the third awakening of the feminine, the initiation of the crone, integrating her eros and power, and leading the flow of wisdom from the tantric, mystic realm into the sutric. We will explore the matriarch who initiates the younger women, calls masculine energy to integrity, liberates creating masculine power constructively, and guides the flow between archetypes. I will also share my perspective of the shadow crone, acting without her eros and power initiated.

Fanny Norlin
My deepest passion is to make the world more fully alive and I have devoted my life to the global awakening of the feminine and the thriving of the masculine.
I am the creator and author of the upcoming book Lifeforce Leadership, an approach that uncovers and develops the core dimensions of feminine and masculine leadership, reshaping how network-based and self-organizing organizations can thrive. My work grows from nearly a decade of experience witnessing the extraordinary potential released when the feminine and masculine are fully awakened and brought into right relationship, a perspective that shapes how I approach business, leadership, and societal development.
I have long been invited into worlds that rarely meet — corporate boardrooms and spiritual circles, intellectual forums and deeply embodied communities. This has made me a natural bridge builder, able to synthesize perspectives and hold vast polarities: masculine and feminine, intellectual and embodied, spiritual and rational. It is in this space between worlds that I thrive.
For 15 years, I have been immersed in progressive, digital-age leadership and organizational development, both as consultant and leader. Over the past eight years, I have focused fully on awakening and unleashing feminine and masculine leadership in business, first as part of the management team of a billion-SEK company where I learned to embody feminine leadership in the intensity of corporate life, and later dedicating myself full-time to guiding women and men into the deepest, truest expression of their own power.
My work draws deeply on Lovisa Alsén’s Awakening Feminine Leadership path as the leading practitioner in her field. I am also one of the world’s leading practitioners of Peter König’s Source Principles, a long-time explorer of Alexander Bard’s philosophy, a priestess of pleasure and a rogue burner.
I’d love to hear from you
