Foundational Principles

Our events are designed to learn from each other and to bring regenerative disturbance into the wider cultural field. The aim is an emergent enquiry into diverse ways of nurturing collective resilience, bridging divides, unlearning unhelpful patterns and encouraging resourceful creativity and adaptation as we face into stormy times.

  • The book (which CCP grew out of) began as a conversation, and we strive to maintain that spirit in the events we curate. 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. 

  • Our events are clustered around 4 major themes per year. Some themes will be recurrent, like cycles of the seasons. Other additional strands will be added over time. In this way, we hope to weave a rich tapestry of inter-connected threads that bring fragmented disciplines like science, economy, psychology, spirituality, mythology, nature connection, psychotherapy, leadership and business into conversation with each other. With this we hope to contribute to an effort to weave back together what has been torn apart by the fragmentation of Modernity.

IFS Parts Work: Resilient Action in Troubled Times

This workshop, led by Lisa Ferguson, offers support for emotional processing of world events using the effective and empowering approach of IFS Parts Work.

This month, we will explore how, in the space between hope and hopelessness, there lies a third way: resilient action.

As crises unfold around us, many of us oscillate between the poles of despair and forced optimism. This session invites a deeper inquiry: what becomes possible when we access the steady presence of Self and act from that place?

IFS for Social Transformation 2025-2026

Internal Family Systems (IFS) offers invaluable tools for transformative work at both personal and collective levels, particularly in communities working on climate and sustainability issues. Developed by Dr. Richard Schwartz, IFS frames the mind as an ecosystem of “parts,” each representing unique motivations, emotions, and beliefs. Through the lens of IFS, we can explore how even those committed to climate action and social change carry parts shaped by the very systems they strive to transform.

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.

Climate Change and the Imagination

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?

An Apprenticeship with Sorrow: Tending the Losses of Everyday Life w/ Francis Weller

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.
