Press Release - Introducing the well • change atelier 

Social entrepreneur Nora Wilhelm launches the well • change atelier : a creative sanctuary for changemakers to slow down and reconnect.

In a world that rarely makes room for rest, the well • change atelier  emerges as a creative sanctuary, a space where changemakers, visionaries, caretakers and creatives can finally turn inward and reconnect to what truly matters.

Founded by social entrepreneur and systems change activist Nora Wilhelm, the well • change atelier was born from a deeply personal journey of inner transformation. After years of working on the frontlines of systemic change, Wilhelm was diagnosed with burnout and chronic depression in 2022. What followed was not a quick fix, but an ongoing process of healing - one shaped by slowing down, art, and self-inquiry.

“I rediscovered the power of creative practices: movement, poetry, music therapy, and visual art as tools for self-expression and healing,” she shares.

“These practices helped me rekindle my sense of hope and creativity, reminding me that true change starts within.”

At its core, the well • change atelier is more than a platform. It is an invitation to come home to yourself so you can contribute to the world from a place of wholeness.

“It’s not about sacrificing yourself for the cause,” says Wilhelm. “It’s about tending to your inner world, so you can offer your energy and care more sustainably.”

Through art-based workshops, poetic rituals, and immersive creative experiences, the well • change atelieroffers a gentler path forward one that centers rest, reconnection, and inner regeneration as foundations for meaningful change.

Nora Wilhelm

Nora Wilhelm is a social innovator and systems entrepreneur dedicated to driving positive change for a regenerative and just future. Her journey as a changemaker began at the age of 15, when she became deeply aware of global challenges, particularly in youth engagement and sustainable development. This early commitment to active citizenship led her to work with international NGOs and, over time, to focus on systems change and social innovation.

In 2017, she co-founded collaboratio helvetica, an initiative designed to catalyse systems change in Switzerland in alignment with the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Nora holds a BA in International Affairs from the University of St. Gallen and an MSt in Social Innovation from the University of Cambridge, combining academic insight with hands-on experience in systemic transformation.

After experiencing burnout firsthand, she created the well • change atelier in 2023: a space for creative regeneration and inner work, designed to help changemakers turn personal challenges, like burnout, into opportunities for growth and sustainable impact. Today, through her initiative Parayma, she also supports changemakers in clarifying their purpose and navigating the emotional and practical demands of systems work.

Recognized as a Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree and a UNESCO Young Leader, she has spoken on global stages and continues to advocate for grounded, sustainable, and systemically informed approaches to leadership and transformation.
