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.
