How can we work together?
Creative, nature-connected facilitation for collective learning and sensemaking
What might resilience look like when it emerges through cooperation? What can the living world illuminate about our roles and relationships in times of uncertainty and change?
We design and facilitate participatory experiences that help teams, communities and learners slow down, think together and explore familiar challenges from a different perspective.
Each experience takes inspiration from a particular place, ecosystem or more-than-human being—from lichen and fungal networks to rivers and the wider idea of riverkin. Through nature connection, creative inquiry, reflection and dialogue, participants explore patterns of interdependence, adaptation, reciprocity and collective responsibility—and consider what these might reveal about their own relationships and ways of working.
This could support you when you want to:
create a distinctive learning experience for a gathering, festival or away day;
help a team make sense of uncertainty or organisational change;
deepen relationships, reflection and cooperation within a group;
explore climate resilience, ecological responsibility or connection with place;
introduce students or learners to interdependence through creative, curriculum-connected activity.
Sessions are designed around your participants, context and location, and can be delivered as standalone workshops, outdoor experiences, programme sessions or part of a wider learning journey.
Participants leave with new perspectives on their place within living systems, a shared language for understanding interdependence, and practical reflections or tools they can carry into how they learn, relate and respond to change together.
Our signature experience, Conversations with Lichen, has been hosted internationally at WAVES Gathering in Helsinki and commissioned for the SSSEN Festival of Social Enterprise.

Bespoke vision and strategy for nature-inclusive organisations
How might your organisation’s purpose, decisions and ways of working support the flourishing of people, places and the wider living world?
Bespoke vision and strategy work for organisations seeking to move beyond environmental commitments on paper and embed ecological responsibility more meaningfully in their direction, governance and everyday decisions.
Through participatory research, facilitated workshops and collective imagination, we help you understand the relationships, assumptions and systems shaping your work; explore where organisational priorities and ecological wellbeing align or come into tension; and develop a shared vision grounded in justice, reciprocity and long-term responsibility.
Rather than claiming to speak for nature, we help your organisation consider how the interests of relevant places, ecosystems and more-than-human communities can be better understood, represented and respected in decision-making.
This could support you when you are:
developing or refreshing an organisational strategy or theory of change;
designing a new programme, partnership or place-based initiative;
exploring how nature could become a meaningful stakeholder in governance;
navigating tensions between growth, funding, community needs and ecological responsibility;
seeking to turn ambitious environmental values into practical priorities and commitments.
Support can range from a focused workshop to participatory research, a facilitated strategy process or a longer-term strategic partnership.
Depending on your needs, outcomes might include a shared vision, strategic priorities, a nature-inclusive theory of change, governance or decision-making principles, and a practical roadmap of commitments, experiments and next steps.
