A collective enquiry for our times
You’ve been working on climate and environmental change for years - within institutions, movements or communities.
You’ve stayed engaged through political shifts and setbacks. You know change isn’t linear. And yet the scale and pace of what we’re navigating now feels hard to make sense of.
Climate impacts are accelerating. Conflict is escalating.
Politics is fracturing. Institutions are faltering.
Many experienced change-makers are asking:
What do we do now?
And what is mine to do?
Change Collective is…
a three-day residential in nature followed by a three-month community of practice…
for people who want to respond to this phase of change with clarity, integrity and collective strength.
-
"This facilitated time in nature has had positive, sector wide impact."
-
"I feel rejuvenated and more driven, both grounded and inspired."
-
"I have a community of allies in the sector now, a village to support me."
Who is it for?
This programme is for those who are deeply engaged in climate and environmental change.
You may be focusing your energy on policy, business, finance, campaigning or community organising. You may be working within institutions or working to shift them from the outside.
You care deeply and you intend to stay engaged.
And you sense that now is the time to reorient for the phase ahead.
You are looking for:
❈ Space to step back from constant urgency
❈ Time in nature to think clearly and see differently
❈ Greater clarity about your role and direction
❈ Models and insights to make sense of this phase of change
❈ A mutually supportive collective you can learn and collaborate with in the months and years ahead
Our shared enquiry
Throughout the three day residential and subsequent online programme, we return to a simple but demanding question:
What is mine to do?
We explore this across three connected lenses: Me, You and Us.
Each lens invites reflection at a different scale - personal, relational and systemic - while returning to the golden thread: what may need to shift, and what contribution is truly ours to make.
-
Me: what in me needs to evolve for this time?
What is still alive in my current way of working and what feels exhausted?
Where am I operating from clarity and where from habit or pressure?
What might need to end so something else can begin?
-
You: where can I deepen my ways of relating?
What unhelpful relational patterns am I inadvertently replicating?
Where is trust strong and where does it need cultivating?
How do I work with fear, anger and fatigue in myself and others?
-
Us: how do we build our collective strength?
What collective do I currently act within? What is its power and its limits?
Can the structures we have deliver the outcomes we hope for? If not, what then?
How can we build greater collective agency, care and strength?
Ongoing community of practice
After three days together in person, the collective continues.
For three months, we meet in structured online gatherings and peer groups to:
❈ Deepen our enquiry where we will hold big questions
❈ Support each other to make the changes we said we’d make
❈ Explore potential collaborations
❈ Provide insight and feedback as we navigate dilemmas
The collective can be a source of invaluable support as you translate reflection into action - providing challenge, accountability and perspective from people who understand the complexity of your work.
Everything feels more possible and joyful with a community of allies.
Programme structure:
❈ Three day residential (1st - 3rd July)
❈ Three whole group online workshops (9:30-11am):
Friday 24th July
Friday 11th September
Friday 25th September
❈ Fortnightly peer coaching (4 sessions)
❈ Monthly action learning sets (3 sessions)
-
"I came with uncertainty and left with renewed energy and clarity."
-
"A place of inspiration and shared wisdom. Fuel for the rocky roads ahead."
-
"An essential experience for change makers. I feel a new sense of vitality and hope."
You will leave with…
❈ A deeper understanding of the moment we are in and practical models to help navigate it
❈ Clearer judgement about where you want to invest your energy and time
❈ A greater sense of resilience in the midst of volatility and change
❈ Tools and confidence for working across difference with relational maturity and depth
❈ Fresh insight, inspiration and tangible actions to apply in your life and work
❈ A trusted peer network you can call on for collaboration, challenge and mutual support
❈ A sense of being rested, resourced and more hopeful about your own agency
The world may not be simpler. But you will feel clearer about how you intend to meet it. And supported by a community of peers who are ready to reorient together.
-
"I am leaving less overwhelmed and full of ideas and focused energy for my work."
-
"This has brought me huge value personally and professionally."
-
"Deeply perspective shifting. I feel ready to navigate the challenges ahead.""
Why in nature?
Because clarity requires space.
Time in natural environments restores attention, reduces stress and improves the quality of our thinking and relating. It helps us step out of constant urgency and respond from a steadier place.
Being immersed in living systems also offers insight and inspiration drawn from 4.6 billion years of evolution. It helps us to think more intelligently about the systems we are part of and what it means to shift and adapt.
In a complex and rapidly changing landscape, nature supports wiser judgement about what is ours to do.
Why with us?
Change Collective is convened by Chloe Revill, Andy Raingold and Jonathon Porritt.
Between us, we have decades of experience across politics, government, business, civil society and grassroots activism - from standing for election and advising ministers and CEOs, to participating in non-violent direct action, and leading personal transformation programmes in nature.
We bring insights from that breadth of experience and an ongoing curiosity about what this moment now asks of us.
Imagine…
It’s autumn. You’ve just completed our three month collective enquiry. The conversations have been honest, challenging and generous. They’ve surfaced assumptions you didn’t know you were carrying. You feel more deliberate about where you are placing your energy and why.
You have a circle of fellow change-makers you can turn to when something difficult arises. People who understand the terrain and can offer perspective. When disruption inevitably hits - politically, institutionally, culturally - you are less pulled into reactivity. You are clearer about what is and isn’t yours to carry.
You still recognise the scale of change required. But you are navigating it with steadier judgement, deeper relationships and a more grounded sense of your own contribution.
Our programmes are often oversubscribed, so early booking is recommended
