Upcoming events
Becoming the Change Gathering
These monthly gatherings are the heartbeat of the Becoming the Change Movement. They’re for people who are passionate about creating meaningful and systemic change in the world who may be feeling disillusioned, worn down or disconnected from themselves and their change work.
These evenings are an opportunity to pause, reconnect and explore how you can live, lead and contribute in a way that feels more energising, fulfilling and easeful. We come together in an open-hearted and relaxed way to explore what is most alive and challenging in your life and work and explore how you can become more of the person you want to be in these times. It is a space to reconnect with yourself, to practice being present and authentic and to connect with like-minded others so you can leave feeling calmer, more resourced and more connected.
A typical gathering includes a meditation, paired sharings, gentle movement and some group reflection. We meet at the beautiful Treo House, the Sustainability Collective in Oval, every third Wednesday evening. There’s often the option to stay for a shared meal afterwards.

Becoming the Change Walk at Knepp Estate
A 9km loop walk around the beautiful rewilding project at Knepp Estate which invites you to take the time to slow down and reconnect with yourself, with others and with nature.
The walk will be an opportunity to spend time in nature and more intentionally take the time to reconnect and appreciate nature. As part of the walk there will be a chance to explore a reflective question about what wisdom nature holds for you, along with a mindfulness exercise to help us reconnect with the present moment and nature around us.
This walk is intended for those who are working to create positive change in the world and are seeking the opportunity to connect with like-minded people and spend time in nature.

Mindfulness for Changemakers
An evening of mindfulness for changemakers — a chance to pause, to nourish yourself, and to connect with others working to create a more sustainable and just world.
Mindfulness has long been a refuge for those working in the climate movement - from activists, policymakers, sustainability professionals, systemic change practitioners and social changemakers. In times of challenge and uncertainty, these practices help us find steadiness, resilience, and hope.
The evening will be peer-led and inspired by the Plum Village tradition of Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh, offering guided meditations, a mindful reading, and space for group sharing. We’ll begin with a wholesome vegan meal, followed by gentle practices that are accessible whether you are completely new or more experienced in meditation. The event is hosted in a cosy Bedouin tent in Liverpool Street.
The Changemaker's Journey - Discovering The Inner Players That Drive and Drain You
Do you find yourself overworking? Having big ambitions for impact but often feeling exhausted and frustrated? Feeling like you are carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders? Or sacrificing your own wellbeing for the greater good?
If you’re someone who is working to make a positive contribution to the world, you might recognise some of the patterns that can come with that.
What if you better understood the parts of you that contribute to these patterns?
What if you understood how to get back into balance so you feel energised and fulfilled in your changemaking journey?
This workshop is a space to pause and get curious about the roles you play in your work to make a positive contribution. Through looking at 4 different inner archetypes (the warrior, the caretaker, the visionary and the explorer) we will explore how they have helped you lead and make an impact, and where they might be draining you or keeping you stuck.
Together, we’ll explore different ways of being that might enable us to create change from a more balanced, easeful and energised place.
You’ll leave with more self-awareness, a deeper connection to your inner world and a felt sense of how you might relate differently to yourself and your change work.
What you’ll experience in this workshop:
A deeper understanding of the inner archetypes that often show up in the lives of changemakers - the Warrior, Caregiver, Visionary, and Explorer
Creative and embodied practices to help you connect with your inner world — including grounding, visualisation, journaling, and open sharing
A chance to reflect on how your inner parts have helped you — and where they may be holding you back or draining you
Deeper self-awareness and understand how the parts of you might be influencing your habits, patterns, and energy
A sense of connection with others who care deeply about making a difference, and a chance to explore how you can move forward from a more balanced and aligned place
This is a gentle, playful, and reflective space where there’s no “right” way to be. All parts of you are welcome.
Join us if you want to better understand yourself and how you can lead change from a more whole and balanced place.

Becoming the Change Gathering
If you're someone who’s been working to make the world a better place - in sustainability, purpose-led business, social impact or systemic change - and you’ve started to feel a bit lost, worn out, or disconnected, you’re not alone.
You might be struggling to feel like you’re doing enough. You may be feeling exhausted from doing too much and not seeing any changes. You may be feeling lonely or like you are carrying the heavy emotional weight of the work. You may be feeling disillusioned and questioning your direction and contribution.
This gathering is a space for people who are feeling this way and who want to live, lead, and contribute in a meaningful and systemic way that feels energising, fulfilling and easeful.
This is a space to let go of the outer world problems and to gently look within, to see and understand what’s happening for you in the here and now - what personal challenges you are facing in your change work, what you want to work on and how you can become the person you want to be.
A space to explore what it means to lead authentically - to take off the mask, let down the walls and just be you. And connect with other people just being them.
A space to slow down, to pause and be present and to reconnect with yourself, others and your greater purpose.
A space to bring your whole self and explore who you want to be in these times.
This gathering is for changemakers, who want to create real meaningful change a different way, to come together in a cosy space in Vauxhall to practice being present and to connect more deeply with ourselves and others who are feeling similar so you can leave feeling calmer, more resourced and more connected.
Mindful Nature Connection Walk
A walk where like-minded people who care about people and the environment can come together to mindfully connect with nature and have heart-felt discussions.
This walk in the beautiful Surrey Hills invites you to take the time to slow down and reconnect with yourself, with others and with nature.
As part of the walk there will be a chance to explore a reflective question about what wisdom nature holds for us, along with a mindfulness activity to help us reconnect with the present moment and nature around us. As well as lots of time for conversation, pointing out birds or trees and a potential pub trip after.

Becoming the Change Online Gathering
A calm, welcoming space for changemakers who want to explore how we can create change in a more energising, fulfilling and easeful way.
You might be working in sustainability, social impact, purpose-led business or another space where you’re trying to contribute to a better world. And yet - despite your passion and commitment - you may find yourself feeling stuck, overwhelmed or anxious.
You might be struggling to feel like you’re doing enough. You may be feeling disillusioned by your change work. You may be feeling lonely and like you are carrying the heavy emotional weight of the work. You may be questioning your direction and contribution.
If any of that resonates, this gathering is for you.
This session is a chance to arrive just as you are, to explore what it means to become the change and to connect with others feeling similarly.
We’ll start with a short check in and grounding practice to help us settle and arrive. I will share some of the inner challenges often faced by changemakers and how these can impact our lives. You'll then get into pairs or small groups to discuss the challenge that is most alive for you, then we will come back together for sharing and discuss different ways we can resource ourselves so we can feel better in ourselves and in our change work.
Becoming The Change Welcome Gathering
This is the first online gathering for Becoming the Change – a space for people working toward a better world who want to reconnect with themselves and others.
It’s a gentle, welcoming session for those feeling disillusioned, overwhelmed, or unsure how to keep going in their changemaking work. Whether you’re working in sustainability, social impact, or purpose-led business, this is a chance to come together and explore a new way of creating change – one rooted in wellbeing, authenticity, and alignment.
We’ll begin with a grounding practice, share the story behind the movement, and offer space to connect in small groups about what’s feeling most alive for you right now and how the movement can support you.
If you want to attend but aren’t free, sign up to the event or join the mailing list and I will share a recording with you.
Mindfulness for Changemakers
To mark the beginning of London Climate Action Week, we’re inviting changemakers of all kinds – activists, policymakers, sustainability leaders, social innovators – to gather in community, cultivate inner calm, and build resilience for the week ahead.
This is our first outdoor peer-led mindfulness gathering, inspired by the Zen Buddhist tradition of Plum Village. Together, we’ll pause from the urgency of change-making to reconnect with presence, peace and one another.
We’ll begin with teas, cakes, and gentle conversation from 2.30pm, followed by a guided sitting meditation, walking meditation, and space for group sharing. We’ll close with a nourishing vegan meal and time to connect more deeply with fellow changemakers.
This session is open to everyone – whether you are new to mindfulness or have an existing practice.
Places are limited to 50, so please register in advance. Attendance is free, with optional donations to help cover venue and food costs.
