TEDx Talk: “The Conscious Revolution of Celebration”
Sept 2025
Celia Gaze took to the TEDx stage in September 2025 to challenge how we mark life’s milestones: from weddings to funerals, graduations to retirement.
Her talk explores how societal expectations have shaped celebrations into pressure-filled, wasteful spectacles and asks:
What if we paused, reflected, and made them more meaningful, sustainable, and deeply human?
Through global traditions, stories from her own journey, and a powerful call to action, Celia introduces the idea of Conscious Celebration – reimagining not just events, but the way we live, lead, and leave a legacy.
- “What happens when we pause?”
- Features traditions from Peru, Bali, and beyond
- Sparks a shift from autopilot to intentional living

Signature Keynote: “What If You Put a Bow Tie on Your Business?”
What do burnout, bow ties, and a llama have to do with business success?
More than you might think.
In this inspiring and thought-provoking keynote, Celia shares her journey from exhausted NHS leader to reinventing a rundown farm into a multi-award-winning, B Corp-certified venue – all sparked by one playful question:
“What if I put a bow tie on a llama?”
But this talk isn’t really about llamas. It’s about what happens when you give your business a personality, a purpose, and a reason to exist beyond profit. It’s about daring to lead with heart, values, and a touch of quirkiness and in doing so, creating something unforgettable.
Through stories, humour, and powerful insights, Celia invites audiences to rethink:
- How business can be a force for good
- Why culture, values and wellbeing are your strongest competitive advantages
- How to stand out in a crowded world (without selling your soul)
- And how putting a “bow tie” a spark, a signature, a soul on your business could be the turning point you never expected
Perfect for: leadership events, women in business, conscious entrepreneurs, changemakers, B Corps, wellbeing conferences, and anyone tired of doing business the old way.
