What does nature-aware coaching still assume that might need to rot?
We stay with what nature-aware coaching might usually turn away from — the rot, the decay, the decomposition already happening in our practice whether or not we’ve given it permission.
Before you arrive, we invite you to play with the (un)paper that composts the ground beneath this gathering:
Composting Coaching: A Living Philosophy of Earth-Tendered Praxis, Cultural Humility, and More-Than-Human Companionship — co-created with Aiden Cinnamon Tea (composted) and the living field, published in the Philosophy of Coaching: An International Journal, Volume 11, Issue 1, Special Contributions: Voices from the Margins, 2026.

The field coaches back.
The paper composts the room.
Come rot with us.

Presenter(s) Bio
Zarine Jacob, Naomi Ward and Sid Hamid arrive not as presenters but as the field arriving through them — edgewalkers composting the coaching profession from within, each from their own season and frequency.
What they share: the margins, the more-than-human, the refusal of expertise, the conviction that the coaching profession needs composting from within.
What they each bring: Zarine's crone wisdom — foraging, decentring the human, resisting the Machine. Naomi's mid-life undoings — grief and poetry close as frequencies, wayfarers human and more-than-human. Sid’s attunement to the unsaid, the ethical tremble, staying with the crack in coaching's certainties until it whispers something wild that credentials want to forget.
Three distinct frequencies. One living field.
