The Proteus Initiative

approaching an ecology of consciousness

We work with all aspects of social change – consulting, facilitating, writing, teaching. We strive to bring together a sensibility for, understanding of, and practice towards the relationship between ecological wholeness and social coherence and healing. Enabling people to stretch their processes of inner and outer development to greater edges and depths; this is the foundation for socially responsive and life-supporting practices.

This innovative approach to Reflective Social Practice can be taken further by undertaking a postgraduate training up to and including Masters level, to learn more about this please contact us.

Leadership is Something Other: Leadership is Disciplined Intuition

A Two-year Leadership Programme

This programme engaged a group of 18 (mostly) NGO leaders for six periods of four days each from 2010 through 2012, and thanks to a generous response from our donor EED to a request by the participants to continue the work beyond its original frame, the programme will continue in 2013. It’s an innovative, challenging programme that works with an intimate and inner response to the conundrums of a facilitative leadership, focusing on a phenomenological response to social, organisational and environmental issues. The programme foregrounds the leaders’ attentive relationship with their worlds, and builds faculties for observation, paying attention, disciplined imagination, interpersonal sensibility, inner development and organisational nous. Participants have particularly appreciated the relationship between the programme and their ongoing dilemmas and challenges in the field of their leadership … and have chosen to continue the programme into an undetermined future.
