In this Wild at Heart experience, we journey into the reintroduction of wolves to Yellowstone as they catalyse regeneration and systemic change. The trophic cascade, following their return, inspires us around planetary and personal transformation.

It’s much more than a success story that is surpassing everyone’s expectations. It lets us sense and feel the ecosystems as they are mirrored within ourselves.

•  Where is your own inner wild?

•  What is the wild part of your coaching landscape?

•  What parts of you are calling to be reawakened, released and reclaimed?

This is an invitation to step beyond the familiar, be with the wild, within an experiential space and enhance our capacities to contribute through inner development and regenerative vibrancy.

The workshop is part of the Wild at Heart series — which acknowledges that connecting spiritually with nature is vital for transformation (UN + 147 governments endorsement, IPBES Transformational Change Assessment, 2024)

Coaching can be solitary work. Meanwhile, organizations working for the common good often spend too much time hunting for the support they need. What becomes possible when coaches join forces? More and more coaches are discovering that a collective can be greater than the sum of its parts, offering shared expertise, new consulting opportunities and support for each other’s individual work.

This month, we’ll hear from coaches building collectives in two different ways. Rhiannon Gallagher is a co-founder of Mutualocity, a member-owned cooperative in Colorado. It connects experienced coaches and consultants with the organizations that need them, through a model built on collective ownership, mutual accountability and profit-sharing. Kristi Harrison helps lead the Climate Coaching Collective. Formed by a group of CCA members who became colleagues and friends through CCA and now support each other’s work while pursuing consulting opportunities as a team. Other members of the collective will also be in attendance and may share some of their experiences as time allows.

As Kristi puts it, “Working relationally makes this work both more enjoyable and more effective through the power of synergies and multiple perspectives.”

We’ll open with a grounding and connecting activity and a few CCA updates. Then Tamara Staton, collective member, will moderate the panel, which will explore how these groups came together, how they work, what’s been hard, and what the panelists would recommend to anyone hoping to start or join a collective. There will be time for your questions and group discussion. We’ll close with a look ahead to our November and December meetings.

with Diana Collett and Fiona Anderson

November 12th 8.30 am – 10.00 am UK BST, 9.30 am – 11.00 am CEST, 7.30 pm – 9.00pm AEST.

2026 is a year of increasing intensity. Weather is no longer just something to dress appropriately for. Nature is forcing us to pay attention to the ecological collapse around us with extreme heat, drought and fires throughout Europe, devastating flooding through Asia and extreme species loss caused by algal bloom and Asian Bird Flu in Australia.

Meanwhile, political shifts have also been intense with Hungary’s change in government, UK’s change in Prime Minister, erratic wars in the Middle East and the rise in Populism across the globe. These political shifts signal social change and instability.

Civilisation is struggling to know how to respond to global economic and ecological unpredictability. What can coaches do?

Our November meeting makes space to reflect, integrate key messages and discuss strategies that bravely address the global shifts introduced in the Political Pod September and October sessions:

September – Taking the Pulse – Climate Politics 2026 Lydia Stevens and Diana Collett showcased the latest Political Pod initiative – 8 short interviews with thought leaders who inspire and engage their audiences with courage and bravery.

October – Hungary’s New Political Landscape — What Does It Mean for Climate Action? Csilla Sztarinka and Katarzyna Schubert-Panecka explored the historic shifts that transformed Hungary’s political landscape in April 2026 and the emerging implications for action on climate issues.

In this time of political confusion, ecological collapse and emerging renewal, let’s find ways together to shift perceptions and bring about action. We will:

• Briefly update about current events
• Discuss thoughts, and strategies in break-outs 
• Share ideas for brave action in the plenary.
• Come and discover how you can make a difference in your own backyard.

Come along to be welcomed into CCA. We look forward to hearing what brings you here, what inspires you, and sharing our purpose and community activity with you.

It’s always interesting to reconsider what brought us to this community and to look afresh at what keeps us here. Together, we’ll connect as a regional community, explore next steps for CCA South Asia, and hear a brief update on what’s happening across CCA communities globally.

We look forward to you feeling drawn to be even more involved in this wonderful, expansive, global community.

Learn how and why to eat more plants – for your individual, family, community and planetary health! The presentation will be followed by group discussion about applying the learnings to your coaching. Your guide is CCA-USA Leadership Circle Member, Nicole Angiel.

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.

How do we cultivate the conditions that allow meaningful change to emerge in times of profound uncertainty and turbulence?

The Climate Coaching Alliance USA invites you to a conversation inspired by the recent work of Otto Scharmer, exploring ideas from his latest book and his recent conversations with the Mind & Life Institute and the Commonwealth Club World Affairs. Together, we will explore questions such as:

• What brings us to systems change work, and why does it matter to us?
• What resonated most strongly for us in Otto’s recent thinking?
• What does it mean to cultivate the “social soil” in which new possibilities for change can take root?
• How might the seven social soil practices help us in our work as coaches, facilitators, and change makers?
• What are “islands of coherence,” and how might they help us navigate turbulent systems and create conditions for transformation?
• How might these ideas connect with what we are already practicing in our own work and communities?

This will be a participatory conversation, with opportunities for personal reflection, small-group sharing, and collective exploration. We will draw on our own experiences as much as on Otto’s ideas, asking what these concepts might mean in practice for those of us working toward systemic and societal change.

Preparation
To make the most of our time together, we ask participants to engage with at least one of the following before the session:
1. Read Otto Scharmer’s latest book, Presencing- 7 PRACTICES FOR TRANSFORMING SELF, SOCIETY, AND BUSINESS; or
2. Listen to Otto Scharmer’s conversation with the Mind & Life Institute from 2025; or
3. Listen to his conversation with the Commonwealth Club World Affairs from April 27, 2026.

You do not need to be an expert in Theory U or Otto Scharmer’s work.
Come with your curiosity, your experience, and your questions.

Date: August 18, 2026
Time: 12pm PDT
Location: by Zoom
Registration: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/zAnKxTsNQLW8XRvzwTf1yQ

If you are a new CCA-USA member, feel free to join 15 minutes before the official start for a quick but warm welcome.

We look forward to exploring together how we might cultivate the social soil for the changes our world needs.
