Led by Lisa Ferguson, this workshop is part of an ongoing monthly series of experiential workshops connecting parts work with world events. This month, we’ll focus on inner and outer polarisations, and how IFS can support us in resolving inner and outer conflict.

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?

This seminar 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.

Are you confused about how best to respond?

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.

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.

This book launch will be a celebration of Climate, Psychology, and Change which reckons with the ways power, colonialism, capitalism and our innocent seeming familiar perceptions impact our myriad crises – while shaping Western psychology as we know it.

This is an in-person event at College, Painswick Old Road, Stroud, GL6 7QW.

Thought leaders and authors Nora Bateson and Steffi Bednarek riff around what is shaping their understanding of what it means to be psychotherapists and human beings in this time of collapse, transformation, and evolutionary shifts.

Join us for an interdisciplinary conversation about some of the most important questions of our time.

The 'Climate, Psychology & Change - Book Launch' is hosted by the Pocket Project. During this event, Thomas Hübl, Bayo Akomolafe, Francis Weller and Nora Bateson will speak about the core themes that are inter-woven throughout the book. Then James Vaccaro, Caroline Lucas and Deepa Mirchandani will help us to think about the ways in which these themes are relevant (or not!?) in the financial sector, in sustainability and in politics.

Join us for a conversation about the psychological impacts of the metacrisis and ways to inform more effective communication, education and policy responses.

This event will be held online.
