Channel: Jem Bendell
Date: 26/06/2022

Hosted by Katie Carr (Holding Group, Deep Adaptation Forum), this was a moving and rich exploratory meander through conceptual and emotional landscape of collapse anticipation. Topics that arose were: the role that welcoming difficult emotions plays in the inner transformation of adapting to multiple unfolding crises; creating conditions for healing and the shift from “I” to “we”; holding spaces with and for young people for exploring the big questions of our time; and coming back to kindness.

Following years of work as a management consultant, Barbara Cecil gravitated to coaching women leaders and helping women navigate major life transitions. Central always to her work and life has been finding the ground from which to think clearly, relax in uncertainty, face the realities of our times, and most importantly listen to an inner guidance stream. Barbara works with young people who are asking the big questions. She says “I cherish the earth under my feet in the U.S. Pacific Northwest. Like so many of us, my heart breaks over and over again…into the arms of extra ordinary kindness and care.”

Barbara is a coach, and the author of Coming Into Your Own: A Woman’s Guide to Life Transitions
