speaker
Co-founder of Lunt Foundation, author, and speaker
For over 15 years Guibert directed various service companies operating in Europe and also in the United States. At the age of thirty, as a young business leader, a work burn-out dragged him to a hospital bed where he suffered from a very severe condition. By merging the best of our modern medicine with ancient sciences of healing he has been able to change the prognosis of the doctors. Rather than killing him, this test marked the start of a new life, profoundly influencing his life as a man, leading businessman and entrepreneur. This experience altered his concept of the world and, furthermore, enabled him to acquire a very particular experience in the field of interactions between “mind and body”. Since 2006, he helps CEO’s, executive boards, shareholders and family offices to develop a conscious capitalism based on the principles of shared value and noble purpose. Today, he works as a mentor, author and speaker specializing in the field of "Regenerative" economy and Inspired & Inspiring leadership. He co-founded the Lunt Foundation that promotes social entrepreneurship and consciousness awakening. Living in Brussels, he’s active in Europe, in Asia and in the US. He published two books (Falling higher & No time to waste) dealing with individual and collective resilience. Active also in the academic world, he held for three years the chair in “Regenerative economy” at the Louvain School of Management.
speaker
A former monk and lifelong activist, Satish Kumar has spent more than half a century quietly reshaping how we think about peace, ecology, and purpose. As a young man, he renounced worldly life and set out on a two-year peace pilgrimage—walking thousands of miles to deliver “peace tea” to the leaders of the world’s nuclear powers.
Now in his 80s, Satish remains a tireless advocate for ecological regeneration, social justice, and spiritual well-being. He is the founder of The Resurgence Trust, home to the influential magazine Resurgence & Ecologist, and co-founder of Schumacher College, a pioneering center for transformative education.
A sought-after speaker and author of books such as Elegant Simplicity and Radical Love, Satish has received international awards, honorary doctorates, and continues to champion Gandhian values across cultures and generations.
With clarity, compassion, and quiet conviction, he invites us to imagine—and build—a more beautiful world.
