Is coaching irrelevant for these times? Deep Adaptation Q&A with Matthew Painton
This event is hosted by the Deep Adaptation community.
Join us for the September Deep Adaptation Q&A, in which we’ll be welcoming Matthew Painton. Matthew is a life coach and a co-founder of the Deep Adaptation Guidance community of collapse aware therapists, and through this work he has developed a coaching model for supporting people through collapse awareness and integration. In this conversation we’ll be exploring some of the contradictions between the standard coaching paradigm (performance, reaching potential, individual agency and excellence, outcomes orientation) and the invitation of deep adaptation – to relinquish ego-centrism, the myth of progress, and to practice radical acceptance while taking meaningful action for a fairer collapse with no attachment to outcomes.
As background, you may also be interested in the blog that Matthew authored after the CCA conversation with Jem Bendell, Matthew and Katie in late July 2022.
