The Brilliant Rebel Tour

The Brilliant Rebellion is hitting the road! Over the course of 44 days, Melanie Spring and Dan Russell will be visiting 25 cities up and down the Eastern US to gather our Rebels (and Rebels-to-be) together for group discussions, healing experiences, and meals.

Check out the cities we're visiting this summer in the list below! If you're in the area, put your name down and we'll reach out to let you know the details.

In every city, we'll host a non-traditional event in a park, private back yard, temple, or gathering space to have conscious conversations with your neighbors.

As details are nailed down, they'll appear on this page and will be sent out via email if you register using one of the links below. (Plus you'll have access to surprise & last minute events & treats!)

We're modernizing the path of personal growth, and we're leaving no stone unturned.

Humans have never had as much access to transformational knowledge and tools as we do at this time in history. The biggest problem is not access, but knowing what to believe or who to listen to.

For those of us who grew up in church being told how to think, what rules to follow, and what deity to believe in, The Brilliant Rebellion is here to help you find what you believe for yourself.For those who grew up with no faith-system, The Brilliant Rebellion provides a safe space to express yourself and ask the questions that have been burning inside you. 

We’re not following a doctrine, a guru or prophet, or even a set of guidelines. We’re giving you access to everything you need to think for yourself while connecting with others doing the same. And it all happens within a supportive community built around our shared quest for bettering our lives.
