In this episode of the Conscious 500 Speaker Series, Mark van der Heijden sits down with Matías de Stefano, recorded live during Symbiosis Egypt, our annual Conscious Leadership Adventure.
Surrounded by the ancient pyramids and the timeless wisdom of Egypt, this conversation explores business, leadership, and consciousness through a radically different lens: one rooted in biology, rhythm, synchronicity, and being remembering how it is to be human.
Rather than approaching business as a mechanical system, Matías invites us to see organisations as living beings, with their own intelligence, cycles, shadows, and needs. From this perspective, leadership becomes less about control and more about awareness, presence, and listening.
Together, we explore how:
• Biological organisation mirrors how companies and systems evolve
• Businesses behave like living organisms
• The future of business is inseparable from our humanity
• Healing and clarity arise through stillness and orientation
• Conscious leadership requires facing shadow, trauma, and inner power
• Consciousness itself moves through cycles of destruction and rebirth
• Synchronicity emerges when we align with our own rhythm and time
This conversation was charged up by life-changing experiences during Symbiosis Egypt, including private access to the King’s Chamber inside the Great Pyramid and the Valley Temple, guided by Matías together with the Conscious 500 community. These moments shaped the depth, presence, and coherence of the dialogue.
This gathering was a live, immersive experience with 33 conscious leaders from around the world, coming together to grow their business, elevate their consciousness, and expand their network, creating symbiotic relationships with each other, the land, and the wisdom of ancient cultures.
From organisational intelligence to synchronicity and right rhythm, this episode is an invitation to slow down, listen deeply, and reimagine leadership and business as living, evolving expressions of consciousness.
