CCA Africa Chapter February meeting

On Tuesday 17 February, as a solar eclipse becomes visible across southern Africa, the African chapter of the Climate Coaching Alliance will gather under a powerful celestial symbol of transition and transformation.

Across African cultures, eclipses have long been perceived as moments when normal order is suspended – times of prophecy, recalibration and deep listening. In this spirit, our online gathering will explore how climate coaches are called to work with polarities and paradoxes in an age when inherited paradigms dominate.

Whether juxtaposing ancient wisdom and cutting-edge technologies, individual agency and collective responsibility, hope and grief, masculine and feminine – climate coaching increasingly requires the capacity to hold complexity without collapsing into simplistic narratives or false solutions.

This session invites coaches into a reflective and relational space to explore how we can move beyond “either/or” thinking and cultivate a “both/and” approach that honours multiple truths, diverse worldviews and the deep interdependence of people, planet and future generations.

PLEASE NOTE: The annular eclipse will reach its peak at 12:13 UTC (2:13pm SAST) on Tues 17 Feb with a duration of just over two minutes. This is NOT a total eclipse, so at no time during this occurrence will it be safe to look at the sun without proper eye protection. Do not look directly at the sun or you could injure your eyes.
