From Self to We - Navigating the Inner Landscape of Climate Collaboration

This workshop locates the climate crisis within a deeper crisis of separation from the land, from one another, and from ourselves. This framing orients participants toward the inner work that sustainable collaboration requires. Participants will take away:

• A deeper Understanding of Self-Authorship as the Foundation of Collaboration - Naming the traps that emerge in collaborative spaces.
• Move from Transactional to Transformational Contact - Sustainable collaboration is made possible not by avoiding activation, but by catching the moment it arises in the body and speaking from that place.
• Build the Collective Scaffolding for Collaboration - Practicing these capacities contributes to the scaffolding the broader movement depends on. Newcomers land more gently in communities where mutual aid, trust, and reciprocity are modelled from the inside out.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
• Adopt Presence Over Performance - To practice non-purposivity, the session closes with a circle where participants share what is true in the moment.

Michael McAmmond has spent three decades in leadership roles across technology, organisational development, and relational practice. He facilitates Circling, meditation, and transformational group experiences, with formal training through Circling Europe and the Integral Circling School. His approach sits at the intersection of non-dual philosophy, developmental psychology, and embodied presence. Michael is as comfortable in a boardroom as he is in a circle, and brings the same quality of grounded attention to both. He leads with a Zulu proverb top of mind: Ubuntu — I am because we are.
