ANDREW MARKELL
CO-FOUNDER AND DIRECTOR
Andrew Markell has dedicated three decades to training, researching, and practicing in trauma healing, leadership development, and strategic innovation. His journey began at 20 in Nepal, training under Chökyi Nyima Rinpoche at Ka-Nying Shedrub Ling Monastery, followed by academic studies at Reed College in Sanskrit, Hebrew, philosophy, and comparative religion. He then spent 25 years training in Yiquan (Mind Boxing) under Sifu Gregory Fong and 12 years studying generational trauma healing under Patricia Spradling. Against this backdrop of formal training, Andrew has 30 years of field experience in both austere and non-austere environments designing and implementing dynamic trauma healing and leadership programs.
Through this unique foundation, Andrew has developed a process called coherent power generation — the ability to simultaneously heal trauma, develop strategic capacity, and generate leadership effectiveness under pressure. His core skill set spans trauma healing, nervous system optimization, leadership under pressure, and antifragile systems design. For three decades, he has applied these methodologies with special operations personnel, first responders, Fortune 500 executives, families of wealth, global NGOs and organizational leaders worldwide.
As a central part of the growth strategy of The Dawn Collective, Andrew is developing Orion, a deep-tech AI platform that leverages real-time biometric monitoring, personalized interventions, and community-driven support networks to scale these methodologies globally.
The Dawn Collective’s mission focuses on developing comprehensive approaches to human evolution that transform individual and collective capacity. Their work helps leaders and organizations develop strategic antifragility — the ability to grow stronger through challenge — while creating enduring pathways for post-traumatic growth. The ultimate goal is advancing human potential through systematic intervention, where technology serves as a force multiplier for healing and growth at scale.
