New inner work for the leaders of tomorrow
At EVOLUTE INSTITUTE, we create profound learning and development experiences using the power of altered states of consciousness. We welcome those leaders, change- and decision-makers to our programs who would like to deepen their practice of self-exploration or who are ready for an initiation to a path of personal renewal.
Meet the Evolute Institute
What we believe in
The Evolute Institute was born out of the vision of a world where each person, particularly those in positions of leadership and influence, has the insight, competence, and courage to bring their unique gift to the world. Where leaders proactively engage in opportunities for personal maturation to connect more deeply with their innermost purpose, realizing and embracing the full scope of their potential and responsibility (response-ability).
Who we are
The Evolute Institute’s co-founders Dmitrij and Christopher have been on their self-exploration and integration journey for many years. Christopher as a teacher and trainer with a personal and business coaching practice that includes somatic & mindfulness approaches and Dmitrij as researcher and senior manager in a leading tech start-up while discovering the life-affirming beauty of the path of the heart as sketched out by timeless contemplative teachings.
What we offer
The Evolute Institute summoned a strong team of experienced facilitators, leadership coaches, as well as clinical experts and psycho-spiritual guides to bring a series of scientifically informed and wisdom-inspired personal development approaches to leaders in Europe.
If you seek change within and beyond yourself, yearn to re-connect with your inner source of purpose and aliveness, want to go deeper in your inner work, or feel drawn to an initiation to a wholehearted life, you are right with us.
Start exploring which of our offerings suit your current needs best to move towards an authentic and fulfilling life – a life well-lived.
We offer the right experience based on where you are in your journey

Psychedelics – the new frontier in personal & leadership development?
Clinical research on psychedelics, such as psilocybin (the psychoactive ingredient in certain types of mushrooms), has experienced a renaissance in the past two decades, leading to spectacular successes in treating conditions such as addiction (1), treatment-resistant depression (2), mood (3) and anxiety disorders or even end-of-life anxiety of cancer patients (4). But what about what Michael Pollan, author of “How to change your mind” (5), calls “the betterment of well people”? Could altered states of consciousness in general and psychedelics in particular be used to support the development and personal growth of healthy individuals, and could it even be used to catalyse leadership development?

Inner work and altered states of consciousness – Interview with ConsciousU
The challenges we face locally and globally are not getting any smaller. The most important skills for the future include, on the one hand, the ability to feel and communicate hope and, on the other hand, the ability to feel empathy for ourselves and others. What role does inner work play in initiating a sustainable change in consciousness?
