Cultural Wayfinding

Unlearning to Reimagine

A 12 week transformational journey for changemakers, activists and all those who know another world is possible. 

Self Work as World Work

Cultural Wayfinding facilitates leadership based on a new story.

One that sees self work and world work as intricately connected.

That knows inner work isn’t just for resiliency, or ‘growth’, but 𝘯𝘦𝘤𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘢𝘳𝘺 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦 𝘪𝘵𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧.

In this program, we’ll be unlearning to reimagine: exploring the roots of capitalism & patriarchy, their manifestations of burnout & perfectionism, and starting the work of Getting Free.

As cultural wayfinders, we’re navigating from the world as it is to the world as it could be.

This requires 3 things.

  • ✺

    First, that we Get Free. That we detox from the toxic elements of patriarchal capitalism, & its manifestations of scarcity and shame which hold us back, and keep the status quo in place.

    Because systems have a mindset, and challenging that allows deep change from the inside out.

  • ✺

    Second, that we Steward Our Power. That we learn to claim power and  wield it ethically. That we can read a room for power, understand power dynamics, as well as how to shift and share power.

    That we learn to honour the wisdom of our emotions, and the power they offer. 

  • ✺

    Third, that we Find What’s Ours to do in this time. That we vision & seed more just & loving communities.

    Because we can’t do everything, but we can do our thing to help remake the world. 

Course Overview

Program Details

Weeks 1 - 4: Getting Free

We break down the relationship between self work and world work as you learn the stories that shape our world.

Laying the groundwork of ‘getting free’ you’ll learn to identify the belief patterns of patriarchy and capitalism and the ways we have internalised them, as well as how story and system interconnect.

You’ll also get a good opportunity to connect with your fellow cohort and set some group intentions for the program.

“When the forms of an old culture are dying, the new culture is created by a few people who are not afraid to be insecure.” - Rudolf Bahro

Weeks 5-8: Steward Your Power

Knowing your power is one thing - understanding how to steward and share power is another.

We’ll be looking at power dynamics and healthy, ethical ways of challenging them.

‘Cause we got things to do in this world, and power is what we need to get them done..

These weeks you’ll learn about paradigms of power, the difference between power, domination & control, and how you can embody power that is just & regenerative.

Weeks 9-12: Finding What’s Yours

There’s no map for getting from where we are to where we want to be because we haven’t been there before as a collective.

Still, we need a compass. That’s what our emotions, body-sensations & callings are for - to guide us into our most meaningful path.

As cultural wayfinders, we’re making the map as we walk. You’ll start to vision the world as it could be and unpack your role in birthing this world.

“From the readings, to the discussions, to the facilitation and pace, this course offers an opportunity for both seasoned activists and newcomers to find a reflective place to deepen their understanding and practice, while leaning into envisioning new possibilities...”

Ruth, Australia

“Every session left me full of ideas, thoughts, questions, and a much deeper understanding of myself and my purpose in this world. I loved this course - and all the wonderful people from all over the world who shared this space - and, while so thankful to have been involved, I'm quite sad that it has come to an end.”

The Facilitator

Cultural Wayfinding is facilitated by Laura Hartley, founder of the Scintilla Centre. Fascinated by the space between inner and outer change, Laura’s work was born out of her passion and experience in both personal and spiritual transformation, and climate activism.
