Earth Leadership Cohort VII

Event Overview

The Earth Leadership Cohort (ELC) is a program designed to support emerging adults (in their 20s and early 30s) in their leadership in this time of great ecological and social crisis and complexity.

ELC offers:

• Immersive experiences in the Work That Reconnects (WTR)– a groundbreaking group work methodology that transformations despair into empowered action. In addition to sharing classic WTR theory and practices, ELC weaves in complementary modalities and evolving approaches
• Opportunities to tell the truth about what is happening to our world and feel whatever feelings arise about present circumstances
• Resourcing and resilience building
• A commitment to collective liberation and undoing oppression
• Eco-centered time on the land, restoration, creativity, imagination
• Intentional community created by cohort members and facilitators
• Support to bring this kind of transformational work into the communities people are a part of

There have been six cohorts since 2014 when the program began. A seventh cohort will convene summer/fall 2026 and includes a full week immersion in the Work That Reconnects (July 31-August 7 in Savoy, MA); two online meetings for further learning, integration and application (August 30 and September 27); and a final in-person retreat that includes joining a larger intergenerational weekend workshop facilitated by Deborah Eden Tull (October 15-18 in Springfield, NH).

Past cohorts have been a transformative experience for many cohort members.
