"Never let school interfere with your education" – Mark Twain
Grokkist Academy is our answer to the question – what would it look like to gift someone a life-changing learning experience that sets their soul on fire instead of just passing other people's tests?
We made a 5-minute music video that sums up our attitude to education – watch it below.
The Ancient Greek word scholé, from which we get the word school, originally meant leisure for learning.
Guided 1:1 Projects
Turn untapped potential into purposeful action with the support of a personal guide, and bring your light and wisdom into a form that others can see, appreciate, and connect with.
Unlock Your Grok
1:1 Guided Personal Growth Experience with Community Support
What if your best story is the one you haven’t told yet? It’s time to bring out the part of you that’s been waiting.
Unlock Your Grok is a hands-on, guided journey designed to help you transform your untapped potential into purposeful action.
Starting with a series of self-paced activities to spark your creativity and reconnect you with what truly lights you up, you’ll be supported by a personal 1:1 guide as you shape your unique wisdom into a meaningful project.
