DISCOVERING YOUR HIDDEN TREASURE AND AUTHENTIC SELF JUST GOT EASIER...

YOU'RE JUST SECONDS AWAY FROM JOINING A COMMUNITY WITH THE ESSENTIAL GUIDANCE, FELLOWSHIP AND SUPPORT YOU NEED TO START LIVING YOUR BEST LIFE WITH LOVE, LIGHT, AND JOY

Join KESWiN Academy to discover your hidden treasure and authentic self. If you want to fast track your heroic quest in order to live your best life with peace, love, light and joy, then we are here to provide the guidance, fellowship and support that you need.

Any heroic quest involves the individual being challenged to personally develop and grow.  But it need not be a solitary journey.  Just like in the heroic tales of old, all heroes need like-minded travelling companions to provide feedback and encouragement along the way.  Having an experienced guide or mentor is also a bonus.  

If you are looking for a tribe to join for a while, then KESWiN Academy is the right place for you

You are the Hero of Your Life Story

For many people who have had the courage to stand up and speak out since 2020, the consequences have been devastating.  You’ve lost so much:  income, relationships, belief systems, dreams, opportunities, and so on.  

Imagine your life is a storybook or movie; you have unexpectedly been thrust into the lead role.  In most cases, you are probably a reluctant hero, realising the need to set forth on your journey. What is it you are looking to discover? 

  • Hidden treasure
  • Your authentic self
  • A world where your potentials, talents and attributes are respected, valued AND generously compensated?

Whether you’ve been coerced, nudged, bullied, excluded or chosen to pursue this heroic quest is irrelevant.  The fact is you cannot go back to that old “ordinary” world. Instead, you need to navigate this strange new world you have been thrust into.  

Most importantly, it’s time for you to seek solutions on how you will step up into higher level authentic living

Learn how to use the power of your subconscious mind to visualise and create the opportunities and potential-filled life that you desire. 

Here inside KESWiN Academy, with our friendly, freedom loving community, you will develop all the knowledge, experiences, skill-sets, wisdom, ideas and narratives for you to transform and grow

Because personal development and growth is the most challenging heroic quest an individual can set out on, it’s best to do this within a safe community.   Inside our Academy you’ll get the support, growth, and fellowship you need, with people who on a a similar journey to yours.  Reach out to experienced guides and mentors who will help you through any challenges you may face.  

When you join KESWiN Academy, your membership empowers you to:

  • access in-depth group coaching,  live interactive events, and like-minded community.
  • network with others for support and inspiration;
  • be a pioneer, exploring and contributing to make our world peaceful and free;
  • identify and share your most precious treasure;
  • discover your inner diamonds that you have created throughout your life;
  • share your valuable talents, attributes and resources;
  • be the hero in your story, pursuing your own goals and potentials;
  • and lots more…
KESWiN Academy

Membership Options

We currently have two membership options for you to choose from. 

SI Community Membership gives you full access to our community.

PQ Library + Magazine Membership provides you with access to just our Library content (with our Potentials Quarterly magazine sent direct to your inbox every three months). 

KESWiN Academy also provides a 30 day money back guarantee (no questions asked), so this makes your decision risk free. If you decide to change your membership, or that it’s not for you, it’s easy to action this inside your member account (see below for more information about our Peace of Mind Guarantee).

Note: This video was produced for a New Zealand audience, so pricing shown for SI Community Membership has increased for 2026 (due to a surcharge increase with Stripe Payments and our Membership platform). We have also decided to merge some of the features from the VS Membership into the SI Community membership level, which adds extra value for a very low cost. 

About KESWiN Academy’s SI Community Membership

We call this “Self-Invested (SI)” Training, as you are, first and foremost, investing in your most important asset – yourself.  However, you are never alone as there will always be real people in our community or on our team able to answer questions, keep you accountable, or cheer you on. 

Plus Deb runs weekly live and interactive coaching calls via Zoom, which you can jump on to get  real-time assistance, find inspiration, or become empowered by adopting strategies that have helped others. 

Our member area has an activity feed, along with topic specific groups with discussion forums, and full access to the PQ Library (see below). There is also SI Community Member Only content, workshops, courses, downloads, templates, events, exclusive offers, and more. 

 Last, but not least, we have the KESWiN Academy social gathering place called the 4Cs Café for Community, Connection, Companionship and Conversation.  This is a great place to network, get to know and build friendships with other members from around the world.

About KESWiN Academy’s PQ Library Membership

PQ stands for “Personal Quest” Training. We realise that not everyone wants to share their personal growth and self-actualisation adventures with others. Some people prefer to travel solo. And that’s okay.

With this in mind, we produce a lot of exclusive member only content that is designed to inspire and empower you, even when travelling alone. We provide this as tips, strategies, stories, resources, templates, and more. This is available in multiple formats for you to watch, read, listen to, and even download. 

And every 3 months we publish a series of personal growth and self-actualisation articles in our Potentials Quarterly magazine. This is published in pdf format and delivered direct to members’ personal email inboxes.  Members can then save and read it at their leisure. We try to design it so that it can printed it out if you prefer (without using too much ink). 

Articles in the magazine, and content uploaded to the PQ Library come from a range of contributors, including our members who want to share insights and more from their journey.

Testimonials About KESWiN Academy

At the start of this page we mentioned that there have been several iterations of KESWiN Academy, dating right back to 2008. The earlier versions were more focused on helping people build online businesses, develop writing and content marketing skills, publish books, and build multiple income streams. Group coaching has always been at the heart of these earlier versions, and there was always an element of personal growth as members identified their KESWiN in order to have the confidence to build their businesses. 

Therefore the testimonials we’ve published below have been gathered from members and clients over the past 17+ years. While many highlight aspects that are different to our current offering with the Academy, they are still valuable for you to look through. Because they are more about KESWiN Academy’s founder, Deb Donnell (who you will be working with), her coaching style, and, most importantly, what benefits members have received when working with her.

Also, as one of our goals is to help you create a life of freedom and autonomy, should you decide to build an online business, or write and publish a book further down the track, you can be confident that Deb and our team have the skills to coach you through this process too. In other words, KESWiN Academy is more than just a personal growth and self-actualisation community! It is a place where you can transform ideas and dreams into reality, no matter what they are!

Some Frequently Asked Questions

Who are your members?

Our members are individuals from all over the world, mostly ranging in age from mid-forties to mid-seventies (we have also worked with octogenarians and under mid-forties).

The people we work with are on transformative journeys to live autonomous lives with purpose and joy. Many choose to become thought leaders through content marketing and book publishing. Or they create a legacy to share with loved ones and/or like-minded people in the local, national or global communities. 

  • Do you want to discover your hidden unique and value treasure?
  • Do you want to live a life full of potential and joy?

KESWiN Academy can help you do these things… and much more. We are a community committed to guiding individuals to become the best human being they can be, and live freely with purpose and joy.

We focus on individuals who are looking to identify the valuable KESWiN (Knowledge, Experiences, Skill-sets, Wisdom, Ideas, and Narratives) hidden inside them, and transform it into value they can confidently share with others.

Our coaching, resources and support focuses on guiding you on a personal growth and self-actualisation journey.

Some members go on to build a business, write non-fiction books, or simply just create a personal or family history legacy to hand down to the generations that follow.

Our content is never one-size fits most; it is tailored and adapted for personal, hobby, or business use.

  • Do you send and receive emails?
  • Can you navigate your way online using Internet searches and direct links?
  • Have you ever signed up for a membership site or social network?
  • Purchased something from an online store?

These basic technical skills prove that you won’t have any problems being a member of KESWiN Academy.

Our team is also very experienced at working with non-tech savvy people of all ages, even octogenarians!

“Are you green and growing or ripe and rotting?”

—Ray Kroc, Businessman

Assuming you want to keep growing your home or service based business, then the Academy can help you with fine tuning your business plan, branding, digital, content marketing and book publishing strategies; as well as supporting you with working towards your future goals.

This is certainly not a beginner only community – far from it! We’ve helped established clients scale their businesses, so there’s plenty of expertise on offer that you’ll benefit from in your continued growth.

Good question, and the answer will vary depending on your Heroic Quest, goals, and available time to study the training material, as well as carry out the assigned tasks and activities, in order to move forward on your project.

In other words, we have a number of different learning options inside the Academy, including:

A Resource Library (PQ Library Membership and SI Community Membership)

Topic specific articles, podcasts, on-demand workshops, short guides, courses and other content which allow you to work at your own pace, outsource some tasks, and consume the content you need only when you need it. 

Suitable for people who have limited time (less than 7 hours a week), or need material to complement a specific project, an existing business, hobby, or other venture.

Interactive, Social and Supportive Online Network (SI Community Membership)

Progressive training and advanced courses, weekly live online community coaching/Q&A sessions plus community support and learning. Work at your own pace through step-by-step processes and systems, while interacting with peers in the community to get and/or provide help, support, and feedback.

Suitable for individuals who are working on a part-time business or other venture. We recommend you allow between 7 and 20 hours a week to study the material and do the tasks or assignments. We also include weekly community coaching/Q&A sessions. 

From Time to Time We Offer Small Group Coaching (paid membership upgrade)

For an additional monthly cost, you can enrol in progressive online training with interactive coach-lead online weekly workshops (90 minutes in length). This group learning is limited to 10 members only.

All members of the group work on the same step, learning together as they work through the road map towards similar goals. This holds everyone accountable to and for each other; and the group progresses only when all members have completed assigned tasks and activities. 

Suitable for people who can invest at least 20 hours a week plus the resources required to start-up and work on a part or full-time service-based business.

We recommend that you schedule a block of time each day to study the material and carry out tasks and activities to move forward on your personal growth and self-actualisation journey, regardless of your membership level.

At this stage, no. However, we can refer you to one of our approved third party vendors if you prefer, or you can choose our own.

SI Community Members are able to ask questions and get advice, support and feedback any time from within our community. We also run weekly live Q&A sessions, where you can pre-submit your questions, or even ask them live.  This helps us identify and answer more frequently asked questions.

On top of that you can also get fair use support from our Team via our Success Department. This alone is worth more than the price of admission!

If you upgrade your membership to Group Coaching (when available) you also have access to all the help and support you need in your weekly workshops, and in between from your Group Coach and peers.

It’s time for you to answer the Call to Action. Simple as that.

Do you really want to live a happy, joyful and free life?

Are you looking to be part of a friendly, supportive community where you can collaborate and co-create? 

How would it feel to have the confidence to be a leader in your community, positively impacting and inspiring other people?

Yes. Yes. And YES!

If you have answered yes to at least one of the above questions, you need somewhere to get answers.  Especially answers to questions you don’t even know you have yet.

Furthermore, you will fast-track your success through having support, community, and most of all… accountability!

KESWiN Academy is the place to help you on your personal growth and self-actualisation journey.

Therefore, if you really want to live life to your fullest potential and make a difference in the world, the time to start doing this is now.

No – KESWiN Academy is entirely online.

We recommend that you use a laptop or desktop computer to log into our site, as well as your own secure, high-speed Internet connection (not public Wi-Fi).

This provides the best experience for you as a member.

Please keep your browser and anti-virus software up-to-date.

For more info refer to our Security Policy.

For SI Community Members: our Team provide fair use Tech Support for quick fix issues and tools we recommend. However, if the issue will take some time to fix, or requires more expert support, we will refer you to one of our approved third party vendors (at your cost). We will advise you if this is the case.

For Group Coaching Members: as above. Your Group Coach can also provide limited tech support, refer you to our Team, or an approved third party vendor (at your cost).

Sometimes the technical issue may be something we cannot fix or do not support/recommend, i.e. they may be related to bugs in third party software, platforms, your hardware, Internet connections, etc. Where this situation arises, we will advise where you can go for further troubleshooting and tech support.

We know you will LOVE KESWiN Academy. However, if for whatever reason you’re not 100% satisfied in any way we have a Peace of Mind 30 Day Money Back Guarantee (no questions asked, although we do appreciate feedback).

We want you to succeed, and know that if you become a member and really put your heart and soul into your personal growth and self-actualisation journey you will achieve many of your Heroic Quests!

And if, for any reason, something’s not vibing, we’re always available for a chat to see if it’s something we can improve on and change your mind about leaving. 

I'm not sure about focusing on personal growth. Why should I join?

If you don’t realise that your primary purpose in this world is to become the best human being you can become, and that in order to do this, you need to focus on personal growth, then this probably isn’t the place for you.

But if you have had a feeling that things need to change in your life, then this is a great place to figure out what changes you need to focus on.

Inside KESWiN Academy, you have the guidance, support, and travelling companions to help you slay dragons and discover your hidden treasure. 

In other words, we focus on giving our members simple, proven strategies and tools to overcome fears and blocks in order to move forward in their journey from Day One.

Sorry, as much as we would like to help you on a one-to-one basis, we don’t do private coaching or mentoring. This isn’t us playing hard to get; it’s a case of focusing our energies on our members. The best place to get access to our coaching or mentoring is inside our membership site, KESWiN Academy.

We do our best to match you with like-minded members at similar stages, and on similar journeys to you. However, we understand that occasionally we get it wrong. So if you are unhappy, please talk to your Group Coach, or one of our Team, and we’ll move you to another Group, where possible.

No Risk Guarantee

Our Peace of Mind 30 Day Money Back Guarantee applies to all levels of membership, so if you do want to cancel your Group membership in the first 30 days, we’ll refund you.

Alternatively, you can also consider downgrading to Community membership. There are plenty of options as we want to ensure the fit is right for you.

Obviously we’d love it if all of our members stuck around forever – but we’ve worked with membership sites for long enough to know that that’s never going to happen!

So, if you do decide to cancel obviously we’ll be very sad, but if you’re intent on leaving then you’ll be able to do this inside your membership account. You can also have a quick chat with our Success Department if there is something you’re not satisfied with.

Naturally, we’ll ask you for feedback and if there is any concern or issue we can remedy to encourage you to stay. 

If we can’t, then we’ll wish you well on your journey.

No. Your membership entitles you to enter the members area and access the content there released prior and during the duration of your membership.

If you cancel or do not renew your membership you will no longer be able to access the content inside the Academy.

We work with individuals who want to go on their own personal growth and self-actualisation journey. If you prefer to delegate or outsource this work to others, then KESWiN Academy most definitely is not the right place for you.

Unfortunately the answer to that is no. We only provide you with the coaching and guidance for you to identify, undertake, and complete your Heroic Quests.

However, you have access to a rich resource library. From time to time we will recommend free, or low cost tools, where possible (with a caveat that there is always a hidden cost with free software, platforms, etc.).

Recommended Tools, Resources and Vendors

Members can also access our Market Place, with offers from approved third party vendors. We do allow approved vendors to market their products and services through our email correspondence, often for a small fee.

In some cases we earn an affiliate or referral commission – and we will advise you of this when applicable.

Affiliate and Vendor Disclosure

Income from our third party and affiliates vendors help us to keep membership fees low, and invest time in develop training material, tools, software and products to support you.

All third party vendors and affiliates we recommend or promote must go through a quality control process before being approved to market products and services to our members.

This means you will only be presented with offers that will provide proven and useful solutions on your personal growth and self-actualisation journey.

Rigorous Testing and Quality Control

Over the years we have built much of our online presence through using a mix of free, low-cost, and premium services, tools, and resources.

Our experiences (both good and bad) are part of what makes being a member with us so valuable.  Consequently, you avoid many of the mistakes we made (some of them expensive, others painful!).  As a result you’ll achieve success much faster than we ever did.

Definitely! You can upgrade or downgrade to a different membership level any time by contacting our Success Department. They will take into account the time left on your current subscription, to make sure you are not double charged.

Alternatively, you can do this through your member account page, by cancelling your current level and purchasing the one you want to change to. However, this won’t take into account the portion of time you have left on your current subscription.

Most of the content in KESWiN Academy is only available to Academy members with an active subscription. However, from time-to-time, we do release mini-guides through our sibling company, KESWiN Publishing Ltd. You can view the catalogue here.

We’re not currently offering a trial. However, we do offer a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee.  If, during the first 30 days of your membership, you decide to cancel, for whatever reason, we’ll refund you.  No questions asked.
