Movement architect and entheogenic minister, San Francisco Bay Area, USA
Makenzie Darling is a movement builder based in the San Francisco Bay Area. For more than a decade she has built community-led campaigns where social impact meets spiritual change.[1] Let It Ripple's Character Day and 50/50 Day, which she worked on, reached more than five million people across 128 countries, and the World Happiness Festival reached more than ten million people in 145 countries.[1][3]
She teaches founders and leaders of mission-driven organisations how to build movements that outlast them.[1] She works through Global Movement Maker, which runs a four-day programme called the Movement Maker Incubator, a leadership podcast called The Call to Rise, and a free workbook, Bloodline to Blueprint.[1][2]
She is a trained Entheogenic Minister. She completed a two-year seminary programme and helped launch a leadership seminary for psychedelic guide training, The Congregation for Sacred Practices, where she studied from 2022 to 2023.[1][4]
The Movement Maker Incubator is a four-day intensive for visionaries trying to turn an idea into a movement.[1] She teaches leaders to turn "followers into co-creators," to share power and to design for belonging, because a movement built around one founder dies with that founder.[1]
Bloodline to Blueprint, the free workbook, is an ancestral inquiry exercise. The Call to Rise covers leadership and movement building, with several episodes on psychedelics and Indigenous wisdom.[1][2] On Instagram, at @global_movement_maker, she sums the work up as helping "mission-driven leaders build culture-shaping movements, while scaling power responsibly."[5]
Before that she partnered with NGOs and startups on global campaigns and ambassador programmes.[1] Two of the biggest were Character Day and 50/50 Day, run by the documentary and civic-engagement nonprofit Let It Ripple. Character Day is built around the science of character and 50/50 Day around gender equity, and together they reached more than five million people across 128 countries.[1][3]
The World Happiness Festival took her reach past ten million people in 145 countries. Her antibullying campaign work, connected to Major League Baseball and the X Games, reached more than 90,000 students.[1]
Makenzie trained as an Entheogenic Minister over a two-year seminary programme, and helped launch the seminary itself, a leadership school for psychedelic guide training.[1] It is The Congregation for Sacred Practices, where she studied from 2022 to 2023 and where her current Movement Maker role sits.[4]
Since November 2020 she has sat on the leadership team of Thank You Plant Medicine, a nonprofit working to destigmatise plant medicines and psychedelics and to help people "responsibly integrate them into society."[4][6] She has spent years learning from Indigenous wisdom keepers.[1]
From May 2017 to January 2020 she was a delegate to Vision 2020, a Drexel University College of Medicine initiative, working on shared leadership, economic parity, civic engagement and youth education for women.[4]
From July 2019 to November 2020 she served on the advisory committee of Sidewalk Talk, a nonprofit that tackles loneliness and supports mental health through public listening.[4][7]
