The Scintilla Centre
Equipping changemakers with the wisdom, relational skills, and imagination to navigate an era of great transformation.
Develop the skills, wisdom and imagination to remake the world.
We believe another world is possible - one more just, loving and regenerative.
The systems we've inherited are breaking down, and what comes next is still being written. This is the territory of contemporary changemaking: navigating the space between unravelling and emergence, holding the tension between the world as it is and the world as it could be.
At Scintilla Centre, we create transformative learning experiences for changemakers ready to lead this transition.
Through our courses, workshops and community gatherings, we help you develop the capacities this moment demands: the wisdom to discern what's meaningfully yours to do, the relational skills to work across difference and wield power wisely, the systems thinking to understand root causes and seed alternatives, and the imagination to vision more just & regenerative futures.
This is changemaking that integrates the personal, relational and systemic. Transformation requires working at all these levels simultaneously - it's grounded in reality while reaching toward possibility, contemplative and active, built for the long arc.
If you're here for work that goes to the root, you're in the right place.
We Support Changemakers To:
Skill Up
To address the crises we face, we must cultivate an approach that transforms both the external systems we live within and the internal landscapes that shape how we perceive and interact with the world.
We equip changemakers with the diverse range of skills needed for transformation, including complexity thinking, nonviolence, conflict reconciliation, vision and creativity, moral imagination and more.
Explore Big, Beautiful Ideas
We have answers - or at least starting points - to many of the challenges we face in the world. What we lack is the right questions to facilitate our best use of these answers.
We create opportunities for changemakers to ask better questions, and to explore big, beautiful, complex ideas, breaking down how they relate to you, your community and your work.
Cultivate Wisdom
The crises facing our world are spiritual and relational in origin, going to the heart of what it means to be human and how we relate to each other and the living world. Changemaking without wisdom or soul-work is missing half the puzzle.
We create spaces to reflect on your personal journey as a changemaker, to discern what is meaningfully yours to do in this time, and develop wisdom practices to navigate grief, uncertainty and despair.
Gather Community
Scintilla is more than just a place for skill-building. We foster a global community of like-minded changemakers to navigate the complexities of this world with wisdom, nuance and compassion.
We cannot hold the world alone - we need each other.

Who’s a changemaker?
We subscribe to Joanna Macy’s definition of an activist - anyone who is active for a purpose bigger than personal gain.
Remaking the world will take all of us, regardless of our profession. As much as we need activists, politicians and impact professionals driving change, we also need teachers, artists, engineers, creatives, accountants, healers, coders, spiritual teachers, farmers, doctors, social entrepreneurs and so much more.
So whatever your outward work in the world, if you:
Believe a more just, loving and regenerative world is possible,
Are ready to imagine and create something radically different; thinking across paradigms and co-creating new possibilities in your organisations, communities and world.
Are wanting to connect with like-minded changemakers, building a community of mutual support and shared vision.
Looking to develop leadership and influence, in ways that are collaborative, wise and transformative,
The Scintilla Centre is for you.
