Workshops - action from conversation

We like conversations here at Surefoot.  An open and honest conversation is the best way to establish relationship, to create shared goals, and to move forward, supported, together.  A conversation in which everyone’s views are respected, without judgement, where there is space for everyone to share.  A conversation where collaboration yields sustainable action.

We work with communities and organisations of all sizes using a variety of conversations. See our range of workshops and conversations below. All Surefoot Services are available online and in person.
Bespoke Workshops
We can design and facilitate bespoke workshops and training for you, now online as well.  We are always keen to facilitate alongside you as well.
Some examples of workshops and trainings we have created and facilitated for groups are group strategy development, team building, project planning, and defining and putting your values into action.
Future Conversations
One of the guided series of conversations Surefoot offers to run with your charity, community group, organisation or other group constellation. Future Conversations enable people to explore their hopes, fears and needs for the next 5-20 years. We explore facts and feelings, and provide processes and information to grow the confidence and skills to shape the future positively.
Eco-anxiety workshops
Attending an eco-anxiety workshop helps you to develop the skills and strategies needed to navigate a personal crisis, a collective crisis, or both. 
Work That Reconnects
​Our design of this session is very much informed by your needs and the book Chris Johnstone co-authored with Joanna Macy,  Active Hope:  How to face the mess we are in without going crazy.  
Resilience Workshops
​Our resilience workshops provide participants with the time and space to develop their personal resilience so they feel better, more confident and equipped to deal with and change difficult situations. We tailor each workshop to the needs of the participants and the sponsoring group or organisation.
Mindful Consuming
Are you curious about the impact of your choices, and how you might live a little lighter? In a friendly, curious, and mindful way we will explore themes like energy and travel, food and stuff, but also resilience, self-compassion, speaking with others and activism. 
Climate Justice
This workshop opens up conversations on the connection between colonialism and climate change. ​
Climate Conversations 
Talking about climate change – whether it is a new topic or one you have been exploring for a while the conversations around this subject can be challenging, depressing, and even uplifting.  We offer Climate Conversations based on a workshop we helped Scottish Government create.
Carbon Conversations
​Carbon Conversations is a series of guided conversations Surefoot offers to run with your charity, community group, organisation or other group constellation. The aim is to bring focus on the participants’ personal perspective to climate change.
