Cocreation with the more-than-human World
An introduction to the Kincentric Leadership toolkit for communities and organisations
What does it mean to collaborate with the intelligence of Earth?
What would it look like in your community or organisation?
The Kincentric Leadership Toolkit is a bold and inspiring answer to this question. It includes 8 principles, 34 capacities, 12 case studies, and over 100 practices. Designed as a 360-degree system, it shows you what’s possible while giving you clear, practical steps to progress.
​
Our training workshops bring the toolkit to life, opening up possibilities you never knew existed and making it easy to act on them. They show you how to make kinship with all life a foundational principle in your leadership and let more-than-human intelligence flow into your strategy, operations, and communications.
​​
Our workshops kindle the sparks of a vision more exciting and far-reaching than mainstream approaches to sustainability. You'll be plugged into a fast-growing growing global movement, and to a community of fellow trailblazers for courage, inspiration and collaboration. ​​
​
A blueprint for radical change! ​

What people say
Comprehensive, practical, startling, this beautiful book should be a basic manual in every classroom, a course that everyone should complete when seeking a passport to Earth. I imagine young people working through it cover to cover, law-makers and healers keeping it close as a tool, tech billionaires going into meltdown and beginning life over. I think our trajectory is “broken beyond repair” but this handbook to coming alive lights up the insides of my eyelids and makes me think: perhaps……. maybe……..there is hope for our species to recover a harmonious place in the network of life.
(Jeni Couzyn, Founder of the Bushman Heritage Museum, South Africa)
"I cannot thank you both enough for curating this beautiful program and for this beautiful gift. I feel so honored to have been a part of the Kincetric Leadership journey and I hope to take forward the learnings in my life and work. I have gained a lot and now look at things around me, within me, beneath and above me, with a new lens.
(Training particpant)
​"We had a beautiful team training day with Kincentric Leadership which helped us connect more deeply with our vision of creating a more just world, in which all living beings have equal value. We learned new facts about the intelligence of plants and animals, we explored the principles of Kincentric Leadership in an experiential and embodied way and we thought practically about how we implement the learnings in our organisation. Thank you so much!
(Joint CEO, Gobal Generation)
​​"The Kincentric Leadership programme was a gift that expanded my sense of aliveness, wonder, and deep entanglement with the more-than-human world. Something intangible shifted within me... I began to offer my unwavering attention to the ecologies of care and kinship all around me. Kincentrism is the quotidian, slow work of re-weaving ourselves into the web of life. It is soul-nourishing work that has no end.
