About Leslie Coutterand

"Critical thinking and compassion can take us a long way. Deconstruct and question everything you think you know, want, feel and believe. Often beyond the constant conditioning lies the truth. And I believe true meaning and universal Love are right there. Behind the mask."

Former actress, Leslie is a speaker, journalist, moderator, director, producer and climate activist.

After a long personal quest and meeting with spiritual leaders and Tibetan masters in Nepal, India and South East Asia, Leslie quit acting in 2016, and took a turning point in her career to focus on projects that have a positive impact on our society and the planet. Her radical life changes and experiences forced her to question her beliefs and patterns. She came out of it with refreshing perspectives and wisdom on our vision of success, social conditioning, and our need to belong, connect and Love.
