Full-length Training

Four-Part Workshop Series

The primary Adaptive Mind offering is a year-long, four-part learning journey, moving from grounding and restoration to understanding trauma, to systems and transformative change insight, and culminating in applied practice.

  • We make space to restore ourselves and reconnect to ourselves, each other, nature and purpose to begin our strength based learning and skill-building journey. Because burnt out people can’t tend to a burning planet.

  • We hold climate grief and anxiety together, not alone. In community, we learn to recognize and work with climate trauma and the deeper individual and collective histories that shape our responses. Through connection, grounding, and shared practice, we support one another in healing and resilience.

  • We explore the arc of transformation, build skills for this liberating and life-changing journey, dive deep into personal and systemic change, and find our footing and commitment to being the change that is needed.

  • We integrate the learning about the Adaptive Mind, identify places to apply our newly gained skills, and support each other as we begin our apprenticeship to a different way of leading at this time in human history.

Ongoing Support Group

As an independent peer learning and support group affiliated with the American Society for Adaptation Professionals (ASAP), called R*eco*nnect, we offer a monthly gathering and practice space for all who have experienced an Adaptive Mind training or offering and who wish for ongoing support, skill-building, and connection with others.

Deepening Skills Series

We also offer a range of learning opportunities for people who do not wish to commit to the full training series or who wish to deepen their skill-building in certain areas. These skill-building series are offered at various lengths, ranging from 1.5 hours to two day training events.

Similar to the full-length training, we focus on climate change and intersecting crises; we integrate a variety of approaches, wisdom and healing traditions, philosophies and disciplines. The following emphasis areas are available:

  • Foci include communicating difficult truths, facilitating dialogues, navigating emotion-laden conversations, conflict resolution, trauma-informed communication.

  • This series deepens understanding of the symptoms of burnout, systemic causes, and practices to heal, restore from, and prevent future burnout.

  • Participants learn about causes and types of trauma, recognize the signs of trauma and PTSD, and practice trauma-sensitive approaches in intersectional climate work.

  • Among the most important ways to change systems is to connect across silos and differences. Here we focus on essential skills to help connect across differences.

  • We derive meaning from connecting to a deep sense of purpose, to something larger than our egoic needs. This series supports this transpersonal search by offering tools and frameworks that can help anchor ourselves through the challenging times ahead

  • To create a better future in the face of intersectional, existential crises, we must imagine and then create another world, transforming ourselves and systems. In this series we build skills for creativity and innovation, and dive deep into systems change frameworks.

  • This series supports those entering the climate field, those adjusting what they do, and those wishing to transition elsewhere to bring their whole selves to work to bring their whole selves to the work they feel most called to do.
