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.

We are very happy to be offering two different kinds of programmes currently, one long-term and online (starting 2026), the other residential on Towerland Wilderness in September 2025.

On-line:
Enabling Life -– An international online programme touching on the threads of a Delicate Activism, through a Reflective Social Practice, and illuminating Artists of the Invisible for a new era. This programme begins in 2026. Applications open now. For more information and to view the brochure, please see below or CLICK HERE.

The Proteus Initiative in Chile
A DELICATE ACTIVISM - Building a reflective social practice (Allan Kaplan and Sue Davidoff in Chile, 2019-2021)

“A truly radical activism will understand that the world that emerges through the conversation is the real world, and that the conversation is the central activity of the radical activist (and, conversation takes place not only between the other and me, but within me too). A truly radical activism recognises that how we see and how we think is what transforms, far more than what we proclaim. " [Allan Kaplan, Artists of the Invisible]
