Becoming Crew is born from the  Spaceship Earth.

We are an action learning collective - a crew of facilitators, un/learning designers, researchers, change strategists, storytellers, artists, imagineers, nature and wilderness guides deeply committed to the ongoing  practice of knowing the world and our place within it differently and helping others to do the same.

We are guided by a renewed understanding that all life is relational, entangled and interdependent.

Many of the crises we are facing as a species are rooted in issues of perception, connection and relationship and the learning and support options for relational inquiry are extremely limited.

Our attention is focussed here, offering co-designed, peer-supported, guided action learning experiences, events and gatherings with experienced guides and diverse teachers.

We offer this work because we believe that we cannot break through the stuckness and violence of these times and weave regenerative cultures that centre care and interdependence by drawing on the same dominant ways of seeing, knowing, thinking, relating and being that have led us to the poly-crisis.

There are other intelligences, ways of seeing and knowing available to us outside of the dominant reductionist, rational, separation logic of modernity.

But we can’t access and cultivate them through thinking and talking alone.

Learning to access intelligence in the heart and body, from land and the more than human world for example.

It is through un/learning and experimenting with other ways of seeing, knowing, relating and being that we develop the capacities and resilience to regenerate the world around us.
Re-membering, re-storing and re-pairing relationships between our fellow humans and the wider more-than-human Earth community.

We grow these capacities through centering our relationship with the living intelligence of the Earth in the places we call home.

And through deep creative inquiry, experimenting and practicing in action learning communities - in crews.

Becoming-with.

We call this practice-driven change.

We work through a hybrid approach on-line and on-land.

We work with individuals, teams and communities.

The context we work from

The converging crises we are facing, from climate and ecological breakdown, extreme inequality, social and racial injustice, political divisiveness to unfettered extractive capitalism are all consequences of a shared root cause:

Economic designs, ways of organising ourselves and being in relationship with this Earth that are based on outdated and harmful ways of seeing and relating to the world, a deeply ingrained narrative and logic – that we are separate from nature and separate from each other.

We are working to compost this separation logic, this illusion, this deep spell of seeing ourselves as separate atomised beings, passive passengers, on board Spaceship Earth.

Instead exploring the invitation of becoming crew.

Of seeing ourselves as never really being alone but entangled and in relationship with a much vaster, complex, mysterious web of intelligent life. 

Becoming active participants in bringing life back.

In service to life as we say around here

Many of us are feeling a call to step more fully into service, to let go of old, tired, destructive stories, beliefs and ways of being that no longer serve us, the living world or our future ancestors.

Transformation is being called for, but what if in order to transform our decaying systems we must also transform ourselves?
