In our Strategy Session we start by getting absolute clarity on the problem you are trying to solve with a Design Thinking framework that you can use again and again. And in our Stoke Session we’ll be exploring Design Principles, ground rules for co-creation that enable you and your team to show up with integrity and alignment.

Working on any environmental or social project requires a deep understanding of the spaces we are trying to impact. In our Strategy Session we’ll map out your entire system - defining all the strengths, resources and assets your project has. In our Stoke Session we’ll build a framework that outlines the conditions that will enable you (and your team) to do your very best work.

In our Strategy Session we’ll share a powerful tool to outline the expected outcomes of a project and the reasoning behind them - the starting point for impact strategy. During our Stoke Session we’ll dive into nature connection, sharing practices to deepen your relationship with local spaces.

Building a Theory of Change is a vital step in any project - but it can feel like a complex task. In our Strategy Session we’ll break it down in simple terms and ensure you have a template that you can use again and again. And in our Stoke Session we’ll explore your origin story and how it can be an anti-burnout tool.

Our Strategy Session will build on your Theory of Change to map out your impact pillars and metrics. Our Stoke Session focuses on burn out and provides you with a tool to evaluate your workflow through an impact perpective.

We’ll bring together all our work to build your impact measurement framework plus a plan to implement it. The Strategy Session will enable you to share your impact strategy with potential funders, collab partners, advisory board and of course, your team. Our Stoke Session will invite you to re-imagine the future you’re working towards - a vision to spark optimism and action.

We all have something to learn. Our role is to facilitate the conversations and provide the tools - but the real magic comes from the cohort sharing ideas, lessons learned and new perspectives. We’re in this together - zero hierarchy.

That means ensuring designing a pricing structure that feels accessible to all and offering multiple scholarship spots for every program we run. It blows our minds how much ticket prices are for the majority of these kinds of programs (and then we wonder why the room is full of privileged white folk). Plus we talk openly about imposter syndrome - we do our best to make sure everyone knows how welcome they are no matter where they are in their journey.

We’re impact-focused and so we make sure we share anything that we think can help. The best way to learn is to teach, so we hand over all the good stuff we use in our work, and invite you to do the same.

It never made sense to us to gather a bunch of ocean folk and make them sit in a hotel conference room, drink coffee and listen to endless speakers. Or spend hours staring at a screen whilst doing an online course. We design our programs to ensure you can spend as much time as possible outside.

And in the words of Edward Abbey - “One final paragraph of advice: do not burn yourselves out. Be as I am - a reluctant enthusiast....a part-time crusader, a half-hearted fanatic. Save the other half of yourselves and your lives for pleasure and adventure. It is not enough to fight for the land; it is even more important to enjoy it. “ - Our aim is that through our programs you create a commitment to stoke. That means micro-adventures, more time outdoors, learning how to regulate your nervous system and connection to an incredible community through our common love for the ocean.
