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.

Autumn Walk at Knepp Rewilding Landscape, West Sussex, UK

Co-hosted by Sarah Hardman and Clara Kallai

Friday 23 October 12pm

About the Event

Welcome to the second in our seasonal cycle of gentle walks at the Knepp Estate. We invite all people developers (coaches, facilitators, trainers, supervisors, consultants, and change-makers) to step into nature and connect with a community of peers.

Knepp is a brilliant demonstration of how regenerative practices heal the land and its inhabitants. In that spirit, our time together will be free-roaming and emergent. There is no set agenda or fixed topic—we simply invite whatever conversation wants to happen.

Walk Details

Distance & Pace: 8 km at a gentle pace, with time to pause, regroup, and take in the surroundings.

Highlights: Stunning ecology, storks, and free-roaming English Longhorn cattle, Tamworth pigs, Exmoor ponies and deer.

Pre-Walk Lunch (Optional and at your own expense): Feel free to arrive early and enjoy lunch at the Wilding Kitchen Café, featuring local Estate produce.
Fee: Free to join

Once you’ve booked on, you’ll be added to a WhatsApp group to self-organise into lift shares or station pick-ups and to begin to connect with each other (the closest station to Knepp is Horsham).

Do get in touch with Clara (clarakallai@gmail.com) or Sarah (Sarah@boldly-go.co.uk) if you have any questions!

We very much look forward to welcoming you to Knepp to celebrate the Autumn season 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.

“When a complex system is far from equilibrium, small islands of coherence in a sea of chaos have the capacity to shift the entire system to a higher order.” ~Ilya Prigogine, Nobel Prize-winning chemist

Wie bleiben wir präsent in Zeiten von Unsicherheit?

Wie begleiten wir andere durch Wandel, während wir selbst von Komplexität, Trauer, Hoffnung und Veränderung berührt werden?

Und welche Rolle kann Coaching in der Transition hin zu einer regenerativen Zukunft spielen?

English
In a world shaped by ecological, social and personal transitions, many coaches, facilitators and leaders find themselves exploring similar questions:

How do we stay present in times of uncertainty?

How do we support others through change while navigating complexity, grief, hope and transformation ourselves?

And what role can coaching play in the transition towards a regenerative future?

This six-month community series hosted by Climate Coaching Alliance Germany invites participants to explore these questions together.

From July to December, each monthly session will focus on one aspect of regenerative coaching practice, combining reflection, dialogue and collective learning. Rather than providing expert answers, the series aims to create a space for shared inquiry and community building.

The series is open to coaches, facilitators, consultants, leaders and anyone interested in the intersection of coaching, regeneration and systems change.

Series Themes
🌱 July 7 – Future Possibilities
What future are we serving?

🔥 August 4 – Engagement
What are we willing to stand for as coaches in times of crisis and transition?

🌿 September 1 – Innovation
What new coaching practices and experiments are emerging?

❤️ October 6 – Humanity

Anyone interested in this important topic is warmly invited to attend our community gathering. This will be a chance to: 

• connect with like- minded people 
• hear about the forthcoming mini-course which builds on  the wonderful resources created by the Pod over the years.  

We look forward to seeing you there. 

Join us for this panel discussion and deep dive into the “inner work” for climate response with Harriet Ayliffe and Hannah Leigh Mackie (Inner Climate Response Alliance, “ICRA”) and Denise Pang (CCA representative of the Inner Development Goals “IDG” collaboration). Hosted by Alison Maitland and Stuart Pickles (coordinators of CCA’s external collaborations), this will be an opportunity to explore diverse approaches to “inner work” through the lens of ICRA and the IDGs, and learnings and insights about how to really bring this work to life at a broader communal and societal level.     

Going beyond just solely individual approaches to inner work, this is a conversation about the relational, cultural, and social ways we cultivate inner capacities, nurture healthy relationships with ourselves, each other, and the more-than-human world, and resource ourselves to stay present, connected and engaged amidst the polycrisis. The panel members will share their experiences and perspectives on inner work, both personally and collectively in community. They will also reflect on the importance and impact of this work, while exploring the challenges and possibilities involved in bringing it more fully in our communities.

We will also invite participants into small break out groups to explore these themes further, and to explore their own relationship their inner work and how they are enabling this in others – individuals, groups, and communities.

Everyone is welcome, and we particularly hope that those who are engaged in any of this kind of inner work will come and share their experiences, wisdom and perspectives.

A Kreatív Klíma Klub következő találkozóján arról szeretnénk Veletek beszélgetni, hogy miért is van pozitív hatása ránk a természetnek – és hogyan kapcsolódik ez a klímavédelemhez.

A mai digitális világban sokan tapasztaljuk, hogy egyre több időt szeretnénk tölteni a szabadban: parkokban, erdőkben vagy vízparton. Ez nem véletlen – a tudomány is egyre több bizonyítékot talál arra, hogy a természet közelségének mélyebb hatása van ránk, mint gondolnánk.

Tudtad például, hogy…

·       Már 20 perc a természetben jelentősen csökkenti a kortizol (stresszhormon) szintjét?

·       A japán „shinrin-yoku” (erdőfürdő) gyakorlat tudományosan igazoltan erősíti az immunrendszert és csökkenti a vérnyomást?

Ha egyszer mélyebben megismerjük a természetet, sokkal erősebb kapcsolat alakul ki köztünk és közte – és amivel igazán kapcsolódni tudunk, arra jobban is vigyázunk.

Nagyon várjuk a Veletek való beszélgetést! Nem kész válaszokat keresünk – együtt gondolkodunk, kérdezünk és inspirálódunk. Oszd meg Velünk élményeidet, tapasztalataidat, amelyeket a természetben éltetek át!

Hogy áll össze az este?

– Egy kb. 20 perces, gondolatébresztő bevezető előadás a tudatos természetjárásról

– Nyitott beszélgetés: tapasztalatok, dilemmák, jó kérdések, mindennapi megoldások

Neked szól, ha… – érdekel a klímavédelem, – szeretnél tudatosabban odafigyelni a természetre, – már tettél lépéseket, vagy még csak gondolkodsz rajta, – szeretnél érdekes vagy megdöbbentő tényeket megismerni, – jólesne erről másokkal együtt gondolkodni.

Nem kell szakértőnek lenned, és nem kell „tökéletesen” csinálnod semmit. Elég, ha nyitott vagy és kíváncsi.

This isn’t a typical nature walk. It’s a chance to slow down and reflect on our relationship to the living ecosystem.

• Embodied Walk – each step represents 1 million years
• Earth’s Revolutions – pivotal moments from the formation of the
• Moon through appearance of modern humans.
• Community and Personal Reflections – through your body, heart and head.

No science background needed, just bring your curiosity, comfortable shoes, some water, and an open heart. Dogs on a leash are welcome. Children are welcome – but please be sure that they can handle walking about 3 miles.

This walk is free.

In collaboration with the ‘coaching in and with Nature Pod, this powerful embodied experience takes participants on an 4.6km walk through 4.6 billion years of Earth history – exploring the place of the human in the more-than-human world.

Join us in a transformational journey bringing the rational and somatic together. It is an invitation to view the world differently, encouraging positive action and advocacy for a regenerative earth and helps put into context humanity’s rich heritage. This experience gives an insight into the interconnectedness of all life and a sense of timefulness through an immersive walk in nature

We are walking 4.6km in the Edinburgh Botanical Gardens in Scotland, where the diverse plants, trees and water features give their gifts and expression to understand Earth’s story. There will also be mindfulness and nature practices throughout the walk to connect deeply with nature and understand our relationship and appreciation for the long arc of deep time and the impact humans have had in such a short part of that time.

This walk is in collaboration with Drylaw walking group from Drylaw Community Centre in North Edinburgh, a community centre supporting local people through social, cultural, economic and environmental events and sessions.

The walk is free to join and all are welcome with routes that are physically accessible throughout!

We are meeting at 10am at the East gate in Inverleith Road. Please let Hazel know if you are joining so we don’t leave without you.
