CULTIVATING COHERENCE

An 18-Month Journey to Reinventing Leadership for a World in Transition

What Time Is It in Our World?

We are living through an unprecedented transformation — one world is unraveling, while another struggles to be born. The assumptions and structures that once gave us stability are no longer reliable, and the future looks more uncertain than ever.

We are hardwired to recoil and protect or attack in the face of real or perceived threat. And, as human beings, we are also hardwired for resilience, collaboration, adaptability, and renewal.

In the face of the metacrisis that defines our world today, we have chosen to bring our combined 100 years of experience in organizational leadership, trauma healing, top team alignment, and nature-based leadership together in the search for a generative response to the times we are living in.

We believe that the essential active ingredient for finding such a response — as organizations and communities — is the creation of pockets of coherence.

We are inviting a first cohort of courageous leadership teams into an 18-month deep exploration in cultivating coherence.

This program is a living, breathing prototype — the first of its kind. It will unfold not only through the content we offer, but through the field we co-create together. The program will be shaped in real time by the emerging coherence of the group, the wisdom of nature, and the information carried by the unfolding future. The agenda outlined in the program is a living sketch — a compass rather than a fixed map.

When a complex system is far from equilibrium, small islands of coherence in a sea of chaos have the capacity to shift the entire system to a higher order.
— Ilya Prigogine, Nobel Prize-winning chemist

Our Invitation

For those that view the metacrisis as an opening for renewal and evolution — we offer a pathway to lead and be led with coherence and impact at the edge of societal transformation. 

We seek institutions that are questioning the limits of current paradigms, and are actively exploring how to embody the principles of the “third horizon” — regenerative, purpose-driven, and life-affirming futures. Organizations that sense the cracks in the current systems not as failures, but as gateways for profound transformation.We invite you and two senior leaders from your organization to join a carefully selected group of leadership teams from businesses and not-for-profits for an 18-month journey of cultivating coherence at the levels of self, group, and ecosystem. This program is intensive — it is designed for teams that recognize coherence-building as an institutional priority and are committed to pioneering new ways of leading and organizing.

Through four immersive workshops and integration of insights and practices in the day-to-day work, much of which takes place in the living presence of the natural world, we build the individual and collective capacities to navigate the turbulence of our time with clarity, connection, and impact.

With 21–24 participants in senior leadership roles from 7–8 companies and societal organizations, this program offers a rare opportunity to develop the essential capacities needed to lead in an era of profound transition. You will be together with peers facing similar challenges in an intimate setting, learning with and from each other in navigating the transitional tides.

By the end of this program, you and your team will have cultivated the capacity to:

  • Lead with clarity and resilience in the face of crisis and collapse.

  • Hold space for integrating tensions within your teams and organization.

  • Navigate systemic complexity with confidence and integrity.

  • Sense into and be led by the information of the emergent future.

  • Convene ecosystems and create pockets of coherence.

  • Align your organization with the intelligence of the living Earth.
