Foundational Event Principles
A series of book related events in Europe, USA, Canada and Australasia will form the basis from which we will design training, reflection and unlearning opportunities together with a growing network of partners. These events are designed to learn from each other and to bring regenerative disturbance into the wider cultural field. The aim is an emergent co-enquiry into diverse ways of nurturing collective resilience, bridging divides, providing containment for collective volatility, unlearning unhelpful patterns and encouraging resourceful creativity and adaptation as we face into stormy times.
-
This book began as a conversation, and we strive to maintain that spirit in the events. As an underlying principle, we want to disrupt the celebration of the lone heroic thinker or “expert” and aim to create the conditions for interdisciplinary co-generation of meaning making in the context of relationships.
-
All events will address the book's main themes in an integrated way instead of taking one theme out of context or breaking themes down into component parts and addressing them one at a time.
An Apprenticeship with Sorrow: Tending the Losses of Everyday Life w/ Francis Weller
This presentation will explore the elements of an Apprenticeship with Sorrow. Through the rites of grief, we are ripened as human beings. Grief invites gravity and depth into our world, urging us to understand it not only as an emotion but as a core faculty of being human. This apprenticeship is, at its heart, about crafting elders capable of meeting the pain and suffering of the world with a dignified and robust bearing. This is soul activism—intended to foster deep cultural change.
Should I stay, or should I go?
Are you conflicted about the demands of your career path and your personal values and concerns in a time of ecological collapse?

Join climate psychologist, Steffi Bednarek, & climate journalist, Matthew Green, to explore these dilemmas in a small group of professionals from diverse backgrounds at The Conduit, London on Sat 7th Dec 2024 10am - 4.30pm.
Facing the World with Soul — and Why it Matters
What would a soulful response to these circumstances look like? What practices and perspectives can support us leaning into the world? How do we keep our souls alive?
We will touch upon ways to cultivate a robust interior life rooted in imagination, creativity, fertile stories, ritual, self-compassion, and the vital necessity of friendship and living community.
Join us for a live lecture with soul activist and renowned author Francis Weller as we wonder aloud, what facing the world with soul might look like in these tenuous, uncertain times.
