I am still coaching!

Those who know and follow me may have noticed that my headline description here and on LinkedIn has changed and this is because my core purpose has changed: I am working for our planet and all living beings first.

And I am still a coach, and using my coaching skills to help all the people that I interact with connect with what's important to you, and what feels possible and sustainable for you.

My work as a coach is still to help you connect with what you are feeling, and what you need, and how you can ask for that of yourself and of others.

And I am still working with those of you who are neurodivergent, especially ADHDers and people who are autistic - so do get in touch if you would like to talk to me about that. However, please note that I am only working with private clients now, in whatever way you can afford.

It's very possible that you are also wanting to focus on what you can give to the planet, and I welcome that too.

And last but not least, I am still writing, and looking for ways to write with others. That too in the context of our planet and all living beings.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Are you based in Cambridge or Cambridgeshire?

Would you be interested in hosting a showing of the People's Emergency Briefing in your business or community organisation?

As you may know, this film brings together the latest evidence on the climate and nature crisis from renowned scientists, and importantly what it means for us in the UK. Our team in Cambridge(shire) has been organising and coordinating several showings of the film which is being screened in the hundreds around the country, with more being organised all the time. (See our latest list of events here: https://bit.ly/pebcambs )

The film is intended to be watched together in communities, encouraging responses proportionate to the crisis. The National Emergency Briefing (https://www.nebriefing.org) is building support for a government-backed televised emergency briefing to the nation - we hope you can help with this call.

The film is 50 minutes long, and is typically followed by a facilitated discussion of between 40-70 minutes. We could also, if you are interested, arrange for a follow-up session about two weeks later, possibly in the form of a listening circle or climate café.

I, and my colleagues in Greenpeace and beyond, would be delighted to work with you to make both events happen, and to facilitate them too.

I look forward to hearing from you.

I've had a busy few days!

✅ Co-hosting the first showing of the People's Emergency Briefing in Cambridge(shire) - in my capacity as the lead of the South Cambs Climate and Nature group
✅ Taking part in the celebration of the energy efficiency upgrade (retrofit) of our village hall with our MP, Pippa Heylings - as chair of the Sustainable Shepreth Steering Group and member of the project team with the Parish Council and Village Hall Management Committee
✅ Co-ordinating the children's nature hunt at the opening of the village's Old School Field, for Sustainable Shepreth's part in re-invigorating the biodiversity of this beautiful multi-generational space

These may not be the classic work of a coach, but it's bringing my skills to bear in response to the climate and nature emergency; creating spaces where people can:

💚 have conversations to alleviate their anxiety
💚 build connection and community with others
💚 discover a sense of agency
💚 do something that matters to them

Here's a lovely quote from one of the 110 people who attended the briefing in the beautiful surroundings of Pembroke College Auditorium:

"That was a brilliant evening! It's a powerful film, but what I came away with was the sense that the evening was organised with a great deal of care, both in the sense of thoughtfulness and looking after."

Thank you to the Climate Psychology Alliance and their work with the National Emergency Briefing team for the excellent resources and guidance that contributed to this outcome.

The start of the year has been a thoughtful one for me, hence my very quiet time on the RiverRhee page.

I have had the pleasure of participating in two writing courses, one very generously donated for free by Beth Kempton, the other, which is still ongoing, with Rebecca Stonehill.

Both have given me a way of comforting and resourcing myself in the context of my work for human and what feels appositely described as more-than-human life on this beautiful and precious planet.

Last night, I had the fulfilling experience of facilitating a second round of exploration with Rachel Pryor, FRSA's Thrutopian coaching cards with members of my local community.

As I wrote in my reflections at the end of the evening: "What has come up for me this evening is a validation of a lot of what I have been thinking. A way to articulate that, and to keep drawing on through these cards and conversations with others. And comfort from that: that this is possible for and accessible to me."

It was eerie how each card that was seemingly randomly allocated to us felt both a challenge and just right for what we each needed at that time.

I have been searching for a way to use my renewed and deepened love of writing, and I think it will be to create stories to boldly challenge the narratives that we are living by, and to share what being more transformative could look and feel like.

In this I have been particularly inspired by my ongoing dialogue with the community around Sarah Wilson and her "Collapse" series, and the books I am reading with my two local book clubs. We have just finished Vanessa Machado de Oliveira's "Hospicing Modernity", and are in the midst of Francis Weller's "In the Absence of the Ordinary". And I feel I have thrived on Robert Macfarlane's "Is a River Alive".

I also realised last night how important it is to slow down and build relationships for this transformative work that we need to do.

I will be leaning into all of this and seeing where it takes me in the coming weeks and months, and so will continue to be relatively quiet on LinkedIn.

I am still doing my coaching work for those who are Autistic and ADHDers, and I am curious to have conversations with anyone keen to explore the other aspects that I have described in this post. Do get in touch.

(Thank you too Linda Aspey for our ongoing supervision group sessions - they are part of this mix for me too!)

Welcome to the Thrutopian Project. A place for people who sense that the system is collapsing - not just economically or ecologically, but morally - and know it’s time to step into something deeper, braver, and more beautiful. Are you a Thrutopian? Are you someone who tries

My two latest books. Designed with similar covers inspired by Fowlmere RSPB nature reserve.

Wellbeing Musings - a collection of short poems and prose reflecting mindful walks in my village in South Cambridgeshire and beyond.

Our Planet and Us - "a gentle challenger and nurturing companion" with a coaching-style approach for anyone feeling anxious and overwhelmed about the state we are in.

Some lovely feedback from Linda Aspey and others.

Do take a look at more information about these and other books here on my RiverRhee Publishing page - https://riverrhee.com/publications/books/

Both books available directly from me - also listed elsewhere though delivery may be slower!
