True Leadership happens when we commit to our inner work.
The Lila programme is for light-and-like-hearted women with big dreams. Women who are ready to bring joy back to our individual and collective Game of Life. Women who wish to make the most of the gift of life we have been given while shaping a brighter future for all.
The Lila programme is a women’s leadership space – beyond our usual places of work and home. It is a place created by women for women. A place where you are invited to bring your hopes, dreams and wishes as well as your worries, challenges and fears.
The Lila programme is a place where you will be warmly welcomed and received – exactly as you are. We will transmute, recombobulate and celebrate together, weaving and reconnecting that which has become disconnected as well as freeing you from your blocks by unpicking your entanglements and transmuting them into resources through Play Alchemy.
All in service of one another’s personal and professional growth. And for greater good, of course.

Why do we need The Lila Programme?
The Lila Programme is crafted and facilitated by Portia Tung, Play Alchemist and Executive Leadership Coach from 20+ years of honing her skills, knowledge and experience in individual and organisational transformations.
“As I travelled further and deeper into my own development as a female professional, mother, wife, sister, daughter and human being, I found myself longing for a warm, safe and resourcing space to explore my lifelong wonderings in order to move forward with integrity and lead as my highest self when playing The Game of Life,” says Portia.
“My heart longed to be surrounded by likehearted women who share my wish to harness our full individual and collective potential through personal and professional transformation. So I manifested The Lila Programme along with The Lila Circle.”
What is it The Lila Programme?
Lila (Sanskrit: लीला līlā) or leela (/ˈliːlə/) can be imaginatively translated as “divine play”. Since the divine by definition is perfection itself, Lila represents creation out of freedom instead of creation with an objective to be achieved.
In this sense, Divine Play – what Portia calls True Play – is the outcome of the playful nature of the Divine. It is how the Universe manifests. Becoming a true leader begins with discovering and becoming ourselves. True leadership happens when we commit to our inner work.
What happens during The Lila Programme?
An example of a programme class consists of four elements:
- a grounding check-in as we land in order to better take off
- followed by a themed exploration from The Wheel of Life – ranging from but not limited to Personal Development, Health & Fitness, Family & Friends to Partners & Love, Money & Finance and Career & Growth
- followed by a group constellation – a somatic, extra-ordinary way for nurturing insights and cultivating our intuition – in which participants take turns standing as the Explorer while the rest of the group stand as Companions in support of the Explorer’s inquiry
- and ending with each woman being invited to share their needs met and gifts received.
When and where does The Lila Programme gather?
The Lila Programme will begin February 2025.
Given many of you have expressed a wish to be part of such a precious programme, we will begin by offering two cohorts of up to 8 members UK afternoon time and UK evening time in support of our Lilas globally.
Participants will typically sign up for one particular cohort and, as needed, can swap between cohorts so that we can enable full participation amidst our bustling lives.
We will aim to maintain a balance of a maximum of 8 women in each cohort. However, depending on the needs of each Lila at any moment in time, it’s possible a gathering can have up to 16 participants. The more the merrier as the saying goes. And whoever shows up are the ones who need to be present.
What is the investment?
The investment per participant is £1111 for 8 x weekly group coaching sessions each lasting 2 hours. Also included – as an option – are two x 60-min 121 coaching sessions with Portia which will take place betweeen the programme starting and within 2 months from the day the programme completes to help you deepen your focus and identify resources as you transmute and transform as a leader.
