Collapse-aware coaching: making meaning from metacrisis
Have you noticed the terms “collapse” and “metacrisis” becoming more widespread? What do they bring up in you? What might they actually mean as terms – and what might they mean for you, your clients, your coaching practice and the wider ecosystem?
In this session, we’ll explore some key themes and narratives emerging in public and private, and draw on both intellectual enquiry and guided mindful compassionate somatic practices. We aim to offer a space to help you to make some kind of sense of collapse, to be with and begin to metabolize the emotions – conscious and unconscious – that can arise, and to consider how we can make meaning from these extraordinary times in our lives, including our coaching work. We hope that this can be an opportunity to respond with care, in kinder and wiser ways to our predicament than if we turn away in disavowal; but none of us can do so alone. So we warmly encourage you to join us.
Linda Aspey and Liz Hall
