Movement Ecology

Social movements are ecosystems. They grow stronger and more resilient through connection and diversity. We help changemakers build on that.

What Is Movement Ecology, and Why Is It Useful?

How do we come together, in all our diversity, to create the worlds we want to see, feel, and belong to? A look into movement ecology as a framework for working towards system change

What We Do

Training

Courses for changemakers that explore how to break out of our silos, collaborate more effectively, and grow stronger to successfully challenge structural power. Based on complexity theory, ecological thinking, and hegemony analysis.

Facilitation

Social movements need collective agency to build power. We facilitate workshops and processes with teams and organisations to create alignment, overcome obstacles, and work together to realise their full potential.

Research and Analysis

We help map and explore social movement landscapes, analyse political processes, and model organisational dynamics.

Strategy Development

We help create situational awareness, generate options for strategic action, and plan their implementation.

Hosting

We create open and inclusive spaces that bring together people with diverse perspectives to find ways to collaborate.

Who we are

We are a Movement Ecology Collective

We believe that in order to achieve system change, changemakers across the UK need to build collective power. We work within and across movements to facilitate exchange of ideas, strategic coordination, and practical collaboration. We open up a space for reflection and learning on the individual, organisational and movement level.

Far from traditional alliances with formal agreements, we aim to strengthen and support a network of changemakers so that we become a well-connected, powerful and radical force that can successfully challenge hegemonic power structures.

We provide a range of offerings, including open courses, bespoke workshops, multi-day gatherings, facilitated discussions, meet-ups, consultation and research commissions.

Please get in touch to discuss how we can help you or your group!

We are Linda, Lucas and Wolfgang. We each have a wealth of experience as facilitators, trainers and activists, designing and leading trainings, workshops, strategy processes and people’s assemblies.

Our sliding scale fees are inspired by the Sky Larks Collective. Our work on movement ecology is inspired by the Ulex Project and the work of the Ayni Institute. For more background, have a look at the resources we use in our course.
