Nurturing psychological and systemic wisdom in times of collective upheaval

The Centre for Climate Psychology offers online learning experiences that transform embedded cultural, emotional and relational habits, weaving psychological and systemic wisdom into the way we think, act and lead in a time of upheaval.

We recognise that largely invisible cultural assumptions act like an adhesive glue, that moulds everything into the same familiar patterns. Changing the way we see things is therefore one of the most powerful leverage points for systems change.

Featured Offerings

Imagination in the Metacrisis

Much of our public discourse focuses on the technical aspects of our predicament. Our new theme 'Imagination in the Metacrisis', explores the power of imagination in addressing contemporary ecological and social challenges. Join us in conversations, lectures, workshops and dream spaces with world renowned teachers.

Climate Change and the Imagination
May 13
Climate Change and the Imagination

A two-part dialogue exploring how climate change features in the imagination and how we might imagine ways to address contemporary ecological and social challenges. We will ask a number of questions: Is the climate crisis also an aesthetic crisis? Are we suffering from a scourge of literalism and technocratic idolatry? How might poetry, the imagination and myths help us make sense of our contemporary situation and challenges?

Climate and Chaos: Resiliency in Times of Crisis

In this lecture Michael Meade will explore the theme of chaos and resilience in time of crisis. Michael’s work brings the medicine of myth and story in ways that bring deeply intuitive and intensely imaginal approaches atindividual and collective levels of life and demonstrate how each person, regardless of age or background,is imbued with genius and able to contribute to a transformation of life on Earth.

The Radical Act of Dreaming

The Radical Act of Dreaming

Join dream-activist Kate Alderton for a two-hour workshop that taps into the insight and power held in our collective dreaming.


In this session, we’ll gather and take turns speaking our night-time dreams old and new, weaving a cohesive picture.  It’s not about interpreting personal meaning, but about listening to how our dreams connect with one another and how our inner worlds reflect the world around us. We’ll focus on the collective experience of dreams, rather than the individual dreamer, and look for connections between them.

Ecology and the Imagination

Ecology and the Imagination
