A 10-week interpersonal group for people dedicated to serving a more beautiful world — and who are ready to return to themselves, and deepen the well from which they live, lead, and love. Not as a strategy for doing more or better work, but because they long to feel a greater wholeness.
With a knowing that wholeness facilitates true cultural change, Margaret Wheatley reminds us, “the world does not need more leaders who know how to manage. It needs leaders who know how to be present — who have not outsourced their inner life in service of their outer mission.”
This is not coaching. It is not a leadership program. It is genuine therapeutic work — interpersonal, embodied, ecological — held in a small, trusted circle of people who have made their work an expression of what they care most deeply about, and are living with the full weight of that choice.
꩜ DATES/TIMES:
Wednesdays, 6:30-8pm; April 29th - July 8th, except June 3rd
꩜ FORMAT:
Over 10 weeks, the group will move through themes most present for each person, and may include:
- Holding and Metabolising Grief and Despair
- Illuminating and Exploring Relational and Interpersonal Patterns
- Facing and Working with Shadow and the Unconscious
- Deepening Ecological Connection
- Mortality, Morality and Meaning
Each session will include facilitated eco-somatic practices before we gather together as a group.

"The world is not a problem to be solved; it is a living being to which we belong… Until we go to the root of our image of separateness, there can be no healing." - Joanna Macy

꩜ THE WELL:
In ancient traditions, the well was the place a community gathered to draw what it needed to live. It was also the threshold — the entrance to the world beneath the world. To go to the well was both practical and sacred.
For those of us leading in community- and impact- sectors or “changemaking” spaces, there is often a well inside we have not visited in a long time.
We have been so busily tending outer-change that we have forgotten how to descend. So busy building what is needed in the world around us that we have lost contact with the ground we are standing on, and the rich textures of our own wholeness as both clarifying and sustaining forces. The work continues — urgent, necessary, beautiful — but something in us is running dry.
Leading from the Well is an invitation to go back down. Not away from the work. Deeper into the source of it.
