Change Collective
Community of Practice
July - September 2026
Next online gathering: Friday 24 July (9:30am-11am)
Our shared enquiry:
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.

Friday 24th July
Workshop 1: Working at the Root
What does it mean to address the deeper causes of the environmental crisis, and how might that change our own practice? -
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 peers.
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)
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.
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.
