The study of this material can provide thought experiments which:

1) Re-imagine how we respond to crisis and relearn how to interact with difference, uncertainty, complexity and failure;

2) Expand our capacity to hold personal and collective space for pain and grief;;

3) Interrupt our satisfaction with modern-colonial desires that cause harm;

4) Create space for change that isn’t driven by desperate hope or a fear of desolate hopelessness;

The program is facilitated by Gertie Jocksch, Jan Inglis, and Pam Woodland. Together they bring decades of experience in facilitation, education, somatic psychotherapy, spirituality, bioregionalism, earth regeneration, and living and working co-operatively. Sprinkled with a couple of doctoral degrees, we have each deepened and expanded our experience with the material through the GTDF collective’s courses offered through UVic’s Continuing Education program. Like many, we have worked for years hoping to change the trajectory towards planetary collapse, only to feel the despair and frustration of seeing the situation getting worse — and that a very different approach is needed. This has led us to want to share the paradigm shifting work of Machado de Oliveira and our learnings from the deep dive course material of the GTDF Collective. Through this work, we wish to help build community that can engage with compassion and honesty the entrenched patterns that keep us on our current path — in our culture, our psyche, and our bodies. We look forward to sharing this journey with you, and invite you to pass the invitation on to kindred spirits..
