Reconciling Ourselves to All That We Face, Learning to Lead Through Storms

There are no maps or precedents to guide us through the climate, ecological and related crises we face, yet we are each being called to respond. Based on practices developed over the past 2 years, this workshop invites you to actively explore – in community with others – the leadership questions you are sitting with and the best next steps you might take, personally and professionally.

Drawing on Prof Jem Bendell’s work on Deep Adaptation, we will explore processes of Reconciliation. Connecting with the power of the human spirit, inquiring deeply, and calling on Earth’s wisdom, we will consider how we might best use our power and privilege to contribute to the vital re-patterning of life, doing what we can, with what we have, from where we stand.

Whatever part you are already playing in the massive improv act underway to adapt to all that we face, we warmly invite you to join us. Numbers will be limited to 15.

Note – Deep Adaptation offers a framework for us to begin to make sense of the unfolding tragedy of climate and ecological collapse. It provides an opportunity to reassess our work and life, and to find our best creative responses, personally and collectively. The 4 Rs of Deep Adaptation (Resilience, Relinquishment, Restoration and Reconciliation) are central to the work of the Leading Through Storms community.
