Do you work within a community or organisation making or trying to make a positive difference on climate change and ecological breakdown? Does it sometimes feel as if you aren’t?
We have found that the real art in making a difference is not just setting direction and taking action - it’s being able to talk about what’s happening - yet many of us avoid it, particularly when it comes to emotions, because it can get uncomfortable.
However when we can acknowledge our own and others’ feelings – whatever they are - we can use them to feel more connected, to build strong connections, a deeper sense of purpose and greater resilience. To lead ourselves and others.
Built on the “Work that Reconnects”, my bespoke workshops are available on demand for organisations and community groups, in person and online. They involve a series of experiences that are used all over the world to facilitate the building of individuals, communities and organisations into potent and resilient forces for positive change. Interested? Then please contact me to find out more.
“Active Hope is a practice.. it is about becoming active participants in bringing about what we hope for. ”
Comments from previous Work that Reconnects events:
"It really helped me to find some resilience and a sense of personal agency around the climate crisis. It was a wonderful day, with wonderful people, skilfully and sensitively facilitated by Linda in a Thinking Environment of course. I can’t recommend it highly enough. If you’re feeling overwhelmed in the face of the climate crisis and world events, perhaps a bit lonely in your feeling of “why is no one doing anything?” and want to take some positive action, I doubt there are many better places to start."
“This offered a beautifully held and welcoming space to connect with each other and reconnect with ourselves. I loved the journey through the spiral, coming away with a greater sense of possibility for our lives with this earth.”
“Good coaching has to be ethical in a sensitive, connected way that enables insightful communication and clarity of curiosity that has a truth and braveness to it. This too is the approach that will bring a truly determined energy to change our business as usual world of human pretence at life into being real life. This workshop has that energy.”
“This was a brilliant introduction to the Work That Reconnects. The mix of theory and practical exercises allowed us to fully experience the work for ourselves, whilst also understanding some of the underpinning theoretical framework. At the end of the day, I felt reconnected with my interest in environmentalism, in a way that was both gentle and powerful.”
“.. a fantastic opportunity and experience, to connect with others, reflect deeply and make sense of my own personal experience in the world today. It was challenging but equally beautiful in the sharing of wonderful conversations with great people. I really appreciated my own learning about gratitude and considering the contribution I can make to a life sustaining society. Super facilitators. Thank you!”
“Linda is a wonderful guides to this empowering and profound work. If anyone is thinking about giving this a try, I would encourage you to just do it - you won't be judged and you will definitely connect with others and be both reassured and inspired.”
