Who is Collective Transitions for?

Collective Transitions is for individuals and groups who are at the forefront of societal transformation:

Facilitators and stewards of change

This includes people devoted to social justice, human rights , stewarding land, protecting life, indigenous support and rights, community building, education, the arts, and health. It is crucial for such individuals and their organizations to stay well-resourced.

Persevering in moments of high intensity and turbulence requires a grounded and mature presence. For those working on the leading edge of change, Collective Transitions offers spaces to deepen their artistry and rejuvenate.

Social change and innovation organizations

Groups working within the social change sector are often hit with the very patterns and behaviors that underlie the social issue(s) they seek to address. These patterns reveal themselves not to block progress, but so they can be understood and transformed.

Many change organizations reach a point where they need to rethink their structures, power dynamics, and long-term intentions. We offer support in that transition, namely to create and align their unique blueprint – values, language, structures, processes, and culture – within the work they aspire to do.

Companies in transition

Many companies are reaching a threshold that requires a shift in attitude, long-term vision, and governance structure. Being ready to let go and change is one thing. Knowing how and what to change is another.

Navigating complexity as a for-profit company with multiple and sometimes conflicting expectations from internal and external stakeholders is a huge adventure. Collective Transitions acts a steward to help companies build a shared understanding and map of the terrain.

Land-based communities

Working with a community that aims to restore the past while co-creating a healthy and regenerative future, we often find ourselves navigating situations in which deeper historical patterns are at work, sometimes tracing back centuries. These multiple levels of influence call for a multi-level approach.

Collective Transitions leverages the often dormant potential of communities to heal, restore and re-align from within, amplifying their shared capacities to work with the subtle and complex.

Networks and movements

Networks often share a common set of values and vision, but often struggle to adequately express their underlying intentions and organize with coherence. These groups have a sense of trying to “do it right,” yet often hit internal blocks that halt progress.

A shared understanding is needed to align and balance the “how” and the “what” of mission-driven work. We provide tools that help networks and movements transition to new, more generative patterns of sensing, thinking and responding.
