The Findhorn International Forum on Sustainability (FIFS) will empower your response to the sustainability crisis by once again combining carefully selected people who are influential in this critical area with an environment that stimulates new perspectives on old problems. This, the twelfth programme, will continue to be a vibrant opportunity to meet inspiring people from businesses, NGOs, social enterprises and organisations, hatch new ideas and reflect on your own personal resilience - all in the hands of expert facilitator Robin Alfred.

In this four-month, 9-session, online training programme, we will explore 3 different ways (Imagination, Intuition and Inspiration) in which we orientate ourselves towards the future and, in particular, how to create genius or 'a-ha' moments where real inspiration and something radical and new drops into the space. We will be looking at how to create the inner and outer conditions for such top- down innovation and also making space for bottom-up innovation where we release the wisdom and insights frozen in our individual, ancestral and collective trauma fields. We will also be working with a palate of 10 leadership archetypes and seeing how our archetypal profile might support or inhibit our capacities to imagine, intuit and inspire.

Last year we ran this course with 55 participants and I anticipate an equally vibrant group coalescing this year!

This experiential workshop will explore the nature of individual, collective and ancestral trauma and its impact on our vitality, wellbeing and capacity to innovate. Together, we will cultivate compassion and spaciousness, allowing us to respond more effectively to symptoms of stress and moments of challenge.

This cross sector gathering of 60+ participants from large corporations, the NHS, NGOs and XR are meeting together in an emergent and participant-led process to inquire into how can we do more to remedy the human and climate emergency that we are facing.

The inquiry is facilitated by Robin Alfred

During this course, we aim to expand our awareness of our lives, organisations and societies to include those movements that take place below the surface and give rise to our every-day experience. Instead of being caught up in the symptoms, we will practice turning our gaze to the unseen layers and support each other to trace back the lines of creation to their origins. We will practice our capacity to offer the love and compassion needed to listen and see into places of social absencing, where energies are frozen and, finally, carefully channel the melting waters  back into a healthier flow.

As change-makers, we long to learn from and integrate recurring patterns of polarisation and tension in our communities and workplaces and to find ways to express our love and service more genuinely and effectively. As leaders, we are called to raise our awareness of the multifaceted nature of trauma and understand its impact on us, our teams, and our work in the world.  Awareness is the first step in a cultural shift from trauma-inducing, to trauma-informed and, finally, trauma-integrating organisations.

The course is led by contemporary mystic, Thomas Hubl, with support and some sessions led by Kosha Joubert, Robin Alfred, Dr Jens Riese, Karen Sims and Dr Laura Calderon de la Barca
