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.

Julie and Kate will briefly introduce both studies and then discuss the findings and implications together. While the two studies were carried out independently with different qualitative styles, their findings resonate. 

We hope you will join us for what promises to be a rich and timely conversation.

• Reflective Practice
• Practice Development
• Peer Connection
• Professional & Personal discussions on working with, in or interested about climate and polycrises

Otto Scharmer has clarified the importance of islands of coherence, and the CCA is already a beautiful such island. As a nested system, CCoP holds a particular intention within the CCA.

Come and join us for our next Compassion Community of Practice 3.30-5pm (BST) on 8th October, where our collective practice is simple:

– Deepening presence through guided compassion practice

– Compassionate listening to support attunement to one another and the field

-Deepening resonance and coherence as a source of nourishment, wellbeing and flow.

As highlighted on the CCoP webpage, the purpose of the Compassion Special Interest Pod is to provide a secular Compassion Community of Practice (CCoP) as a way of co-regulating and processing the various emotions that arise within the Ecological Awareness Cycle. The CCoP serves as both an antidote to empathic distress fatigue and climate-related burnout in the coach, and their clients in turn, and also develops qualities beneficial to the coaching relationship and better coaching outcomes.

Principles:

-Practice over theory

-Guided compassion practice as a foundation for compassionate dialogue

-Consistent format with changing themes

-Inclusive and accessible to all

Topics:

-Self-compassion

-Embracing shared common humanity

-Cultivating compassion for others

-Compassionate listening to self and others

-Why compassion practice?

-Cultivating qualities beneficial to the coaching relationship

-Compassion practice and better coaching outcomes

-Compassion practice as an antidote to empathic distress fatigue and climate-related burnout

-Coach maturity and vertical adult development

-The neuroscience of compassion We look forward to welcoming you.

With Warm Wishes,

Lindsay, Heather, Mark and Liz

Join Dr. Wilkinson (co-editor of All We Can Save) and the Climate Coaching Alliance (CCA) for an interactive orientation to learn how the proven process of Climate Wayfinding can benefit your personal and professional coaching practice. All are welcome! Please invite other coaches, facilitators, teachers, counselors and changemakers.

This gathering is timed within the CCA Seasonal Heartbeats Connection Celebration, aligning with the coming solstice and a time of rebirth. In this season we focus on Connection and Communication. Amid kindred community, we connect and remember that each of us is a node of possibility for healing the climate crisis—whoever we are and whatever we’ve got to give.

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.
