At Realderness, our central mission is to foster profound and genuine transformations. The Realderness experience is designed to rekindle our inherent capacity for insight, problem solving and self leadership.
Established in 2022 by Dr. Lachlan Forsyth, Realderness has sought to provide a unique coaching service to both individuals and communities. Lachlan's tenure as a senior leader in Higher Education during tumultuous years – encompassing COVID-19, devastating community floods, and significant organizational upheavals – acted as a catalyst for his vision to create an entity that could facilitate deep, transformative changes that were both impactful and pragmatic for individuals and the systems they navigate.
The story of Realderness began years ago, driven by Lachlan’s interest in personal development, storytelling, and hands-on experiences like Live Action Role Plays (LARP). After discovering the power of immersive worlds while co-designing a LARP on a 30-hectare farm, Lachlan went on to create an arts-based educational project that combined acting, interactive storytelling, and play.
As Lachlan shifted towards online education, his focus on building community led him to explore social media for educational purposes, including early pioneering work with peer-created content like videos, blogs, and wikis as far back as 2003. Two decades later, Realderness was born, bringing together insights and experiences from his work in education, technology (including VR & AR), coaching, and personal development.Realderness (def.): The untamed reality of Being in process.
What is the Realderness? In 2013, Lachlan coined the term to describe the liminal space between the ordinary and the extraordinary; a mysterious ground of being through which we experience the present moment and deepen our understanding of Self. Stepping into the Realderness offers an authentic, transformative journey of exploration. We look forward to hearing from you.Contact.
