Accompaniment & mentoring
Let us help you to embed kincentric approaches
in your community or organisation
The kincentric leadership toolkit is designed to inspire transformation and be a practical map of how to lead from within the wider web of life. However, we know that real change happens in relationship, over time. It takes sustained intention, the right container, shared commitment, and structures of accountability.
There are a range of ways we can help you take the next step. Whether you're a large NGO, a small business, a grassroots collective, or a place-based community, we are here to walk alongside you as you weave kincentric principles into your unique context.
Our offerings are flexible, collaborative, and responsive - accompaniment rather than consultancy - and deeply rooted in reciprocity. Learning about your particular needs and aspirations is valuable and will help us refine the tools we create in the future.
We can offer a number of processes which can be one-off events or combined in a longer-term facilitated pathway:
-
One off or ‘kickstarter’ mentoring - designed to help you jump in, plan next steps or grapple with a particular challenge
-
Leadership team mentoring - to support you to redefine yourselves as kincentric leaders or plan an organisation-wide exploration
-
Bespoke training sessions and workshops - get to grips with the principles, capacities and practices of kincentric leadership, tailored to your context and aims
-
Immersive retreats - for a deeper and more memorable experience, great for fostering community buy-in
-
Quarterly facilitated conversations - including co-reflections and accountability check-ins
-
Support to initiate a community learning circle or working group
-
Stragegy planning facilitation or input - to bring a kincentric lens to planning or review processes
-
A complete year long facilitated pathway - using the benchmarking tool to embed kincentric approaches and track impact over time.

"Kinship makes us feel part of this collective “we,” and many of the social—and certainly economic—institutions in which we are embedded depend on alienation. They depend on isolation. If we are alienated from the living world, then we can commodify the heck out of it. We can extract everything and make it all into property, make it into natural resources, not the gifts of our relatives. So kinning is a very real antidote to saying that the world is just stuff and all this stuff belongs to us. Kinning with Grandmother Moon, with salamanders, with lichens on our rooftop—all of those are acts of resistance to the objectification and commodification of the world. But I want to say that it also brings us joy. It brings us joy and happiness, and that too can be understood as a radical reclaiming of who we are as humans."
