“A truly life-changing experience. A group that was wonderfully facilitated... that took me to places I had never been before and helped me to continue on a profound journey of growth and transformation. ”
Is the climate crisis also a crisis of modern men? And how can we give rise to new forms of masculinity oriented towards planetary health?
Join Amy Westervelt, Indra Adnan, Cadell Last, Matthew Green, and Jacob Kishere to explore the new perspectives that can emerge when we explore familiar global dilemmas through the lens of masculinity. With traditional conceptions of what it means to be a man so closely entwined with the roots of the metacrisis, we’ll be asking:
What role have existing models of masculinity played in creating the systems pushing us to the brink?
How can men and women come together to tend to their collective wounds and learn to relate in new ways?
What new visions of masculinity are capable of integrating, the masculine, the feminine, and ancestral wisdom in service of the whole?
What qualities of masculinity are needed to guide us through and beyond times of metacrisis?
Join us to address these questions and more at a warm, welcoming, and lively event with ample opportunities for audience participation and small-group sharing.
This event is a collaboration between the Centre for Climate Psychology, the Resonant Man, and DeSmog.

About the Speakers
Amy Westervelt is an investigative journalist with over 20 years of experience focused on climate, land, and environmental reporting. As the founder of Critical Frequency, she uses the power of storytelling to amplify the voices fighting for climate justice, with her award-winning podcast, Drilled, shining a light on corporate accountability and environmental truth. Recognized as Covering Climate Now’s Journalist of the Year in 2023, Amy’s work continues to play a key role in bringing attention to the urgent need for climate action.
Indra Adnan is a psycho-social therapist, political thinker, and co-initiator of The Alternative Global, a platform dedicated to democratic innovation and the emergence of new forms of citizen power. Her work sits at the intersection of inner transformation and systemic change, exploring how individuals and communities can navigate the complexities of the 21st century.
She is the author of The Politics of Waking Up: Power and Possibility In The Fractal Age, selected as a book of the year by the Times Literary Supplement. In it, she articulates a vision of interdependency—between self, community, and planet—that she terms "I, We, World." The book offers a new lens for understanding the meta-crisis and a pathway toward what she calls ecocivilisation: a way of living that integrates psychological depth with ecological and political awareness.
Cadell Last is the founder and creator of Philosophy Portal, and author of Global Brain Singularity; Systems and Subjects; and Real Speculations. My background includes undergraduate training in anthropology and history, a master’s in evolutionary anthropology, and a doctorate in complexity/interdisciplinary studies.
Jacob Kishere is a philosopher and spiritual thinker associated with "The Resonant Man" initiative, which explores masculinity, spirituality, and political economy through the lens of transpersonal psychology. He bridges indigenous wisdom traditions with contemporary philosophical thought, having worked with indigenous wisdom keepers and international psychology communities. Kishere runs SenseSpace podcast and maintains a philosophy-focused online presence. His work examines the integration of individual, inter-generational, and collective trauma, focusing on how fellowship and responsive transformation can forge new ways of being in the world.
Matthew Green is a co-founder of the Resonant Man visionary men’s initiative and co-host of What Is Collective Healing?
In a former career, Matthew spent 14 years as an international correspondent for the Financial Times and Reuters, covering conflicts in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan and reporting from countries across Africa. His book Aftershock: Fighting War, Surviving Trauma, and Finding Peace documents the stories of military veterans and their families seeking new ways to heal from the psychological scars of war.
Today, he is deepening his exploration of trauma-restoring forms of media as global investigations editor at DeSmog and creator of Resonant World, a newsletter serving the global trauma healing movement. He lives in London with his wife, Genevieve, and their daughter, Matilda.
