Erin Ahlen-Rooney holds a doctorate rooted in one of the most audacious questions in modern science: what if consciousness is fundamental? That inquiry — sitting squarely at the intersection of theoretical physics, philosophy, and the nature of reality — became the foundation for everything that followed.
Before that, she spent two decades as a trauma therapist. She knows, from the inside out, what it takes for a human being to change.
Those two bodies of knowledge — the physics of consciousness and the psychology of healing — are the engine beneath three distinct and interconnected bodies of work: The Philosophy of Love, an experiential exploration of love as a living force; Gorilla Goodness, a mutual aid movement grounded in the emerging science of human cooperation; and the Valkyrie Project, a framework for the kind of leadership the world is asking for right now.
Erin doesn’t lecture at people. She builds the conditions for transformation — in rooms, in communities, and on the page.
