A 6-day residential programme for 18-29 year olds who want to launch themselves powerfully into the world and join with others to shape a positive future for the earth and all her species. Today’s young adults face unprecedented environmental, social and economic challenges and with the global school strike movement are becoming a real force for change. Catalyst is proud to be part of that movement.

“I am now part of the team putting  together an event in Bristol following the model of ActivateLDN! Without Catalyst I wouldn't have known about the project, or had the network to make it happen.” - C Murrell

Why is it, that despite experience, success and skill, many of us still carry ideas of being an imposter? What is this persistent internalised identity as a fraud who, sooner or later, will be ‘found out’? The truth is, the imposter syndrome has nothing to do with your skill or accomplishments. In fact, it is often highly-skilled and competent people who struggle the most.

Our time together aims to provide insight and understanding of how the imposter arrives in our lives, as well as how to begin to see through, beyond and beneath its attempts to limit us. Like Dorothy encountering the Wizard of Oz, the imposter may insist you “pay no attention to that man behind the curtain”. Together we will seek to lift up the veil and expose not an all-powerful wizard, but an illusion – a trickster who knows that perceptions and realities are often quite different things. From here we can begin to ask questions of our own lives about how we may be misinterpreting reality, and how our perception and ideas of fraudulence may stop us from bringing our gifts most fully to the world.

Three interactive and embodied day-long explorations, and six evening sessions of webinars, Q&A group coaching and peer mentoring. Short enough to keep you focused, long enough to notice tangible shifts in your felt experience. Throughout we will draw upon the wisdom of myths and stories of magical shape-shifting creatures like Selkies who can change their form from seal to human.

Module One: Lifting the Curtain (childhood wounding; narratives of being ‘not enough’)

Module Two: The Tyranny of Fitting In (safety or stagnancy?)

Module Three: At the Threshold of Success (dominant cultural narratives; power)

Module Four: Re-Storying the Self (returning to source; belonging to life)

Kanada is joining Rupert Read, Deepak Rughani and Skeena Rathor for five days spent together in order to gain a better understanding of the ecological crisis that defines our time. Practice radical surrender and consider genuine and surprising ways forward. This course investigates deeply the spiritual orientation that best suits the country’s growing truth-telling Non-Violent Direct Action (NVDA) movements which are almost certainly our last chance at averting collapse/softening our landing.

A bespoke programme supporting young professionals to move into the social and environmental impact sector.

"My experience on Catalyst Course gave me a self-belief that encouraged me to pursue my ambitions with strongly renewed sense of focus, conviction and positive energy. Since the course I have been selected to represent Bristol in a national poetry slam, developed the courage to start performing my music on the street, and joined an organisation teaching music workshops to teenagers.” - Josh C.
