Sparking Change
from the Inside Out
At SparkX Foundation, we see the individual as the catalyst for societal transformation. We spark self-system knowledge and change from the inside out, building and leading inclusive, psychosocially focused interventions that hold space for becoming, both as individuals and as a nation.
DonateChange Begins Within.
What if country-level transformation begins with a shift in gaze? What if the boldest change begins inward? What if “we” are because the “I” becomes? SparkX Foundation is a shift in gaze toward our inner life, a call to action of an elusive kind: personal development. Because when individuals transform, so do families, organisations, communities, and nations.
Meet the Founder
Founded by change advocate Michelle Eglin CA(SA) IECC (IMD) EMC (INSEAD), SparkX Foundation walks courageously and compassionately alongside a nation in transition. Grounded in systems psychodynamics and born from deep personal, professional and research-backed societal inquiry, our interventions aim to demystify what lies below the surface of change in South Africa, sparking meaningful individual and collective reflection and action.

Why It Matters
South Africa stands at a psychic and systemic threshold. Political and policy reform, while necessary, is insufficient. We are confronted not merely by an economic and leadership crisis, but by a deeper developmental crisis, one masked as a crisis of belonging and erupting as a crisis of violence. These are symptoms, not causes. The hard truth is that without inner transformation, outer change collapses. Unless we pause to examine our inner world, we unconsciously recreate the very patterns that undermine collective progress. The work ahead is as much about systems as it is about selves, an invitation to pause, reflect, and reimagine who we are and who South Africa might become, together.
