About me

Dr Marcel Scharth

Personal development coach and meditation teacher

I’ve always been passionate about exploring and diving into practices for personal development and well-being. I started Unfoldment after discovering that I love sharing these skills and facilitating transformative experiences.

We live in an exciting era where more individuals and organisations recognise the need to bring the cultivation of wisdom back to the forefront of our culture and upgrade our capacity to facilitate human development and flourishing.

My journey has led me to embrace a wide range of practices covering different aspects of human unfoldment, including mindfulness meditation, nondual meditation, breathwork, yoga nidra, imaginal journeying, dreamwork, Circling, and Dialectic into Dialogos.

Some of the most influential teachers and mentors on my journey have been Shinzen Young, Michael Taft, Rosa Lewis, Rob Burbea, Daniel P. Brown, Dustin DiPerna, Christopher Wallis, Peter Fenner, B. Alan Wallace, Steve March, and John Vervaeke.

Originally from Rio de Janeiro, I’ve been in Sydney for over a decade after a period living in Amsterdam.
