Roundtables

This Work Deepens Through Dialogue

Last updated: October 2026

In 2027, two different online Roundtables are planned: one for intuitive interspecies communication (IIC) practitioners and students, and another for interdisciplinary professionals to gather, process, and refine the practice of including Nature's voice in collaborative decision-making.

These are not teaching programmes or course. They are working spaces for people already engaged in this terrain - whether professionally, academically, or through lived practice.

My role is to convene and hold the space, not to teach or provide all the answers. I’ll bring questions, facilitate the conversation, and help bring different perspectives, including Nature's, into the discussion.

Intuitive Interspecies Communication (IIC) Roundtable

For Practitioners and Students

This Roundtable is for people actively engaged in intuitive interspecies communication (IIC) who are navigating the realities of bringing IIC into collaborative, interdisciplinary, and professional settings.

Together, we'll explore what it means to bring this work into the world:

  • How do we respond to what Nature is asking of us?

  • How do we bring IIC into collaborative, interdisciplinary, and professional contexts?

  • How do we navigate the questions, challenges, and opportunities that arise when we step beyond individual practice and into wider systems?

We may also explore questions such as:

  • How do we hold what we're hearing when others in the room aren't IIC practitioners?

  • What does it mean to genuinely include Nature's voice in decisions that affect the living world?

  • How do we introduce IIC to people, professions, and fields that may be unfamiliar with it?

In the IIC Roundtable, we come together as practitioners and students, learning from our lived experience and from one another.

This work can be isolating. We need spaces where we don't have to explain ourselves, just work through what's real.

Interdisciplinary Roundtable

For Professionals and Organisational Leaders

This Roundtable is for professionals, organisational leaders, artists, and others working across conservation, research, land stewardship, governance, policy, legal advocacy, animal care, creative practice, and related fields who are exploring how Nature's voice can inform collaborative decision-making.

You may be part of a team that's curious about integrating IIC into your work. You may be an individual advocating for this approach within your organisation or field. You may already practise IIC alongside another professional discipline. Or you may be building something new that doesn't yet have a name.

Together, we'll explore what becomes possible when Nature's voice is genuinely included in collaborative work.

The Interdisciplinary Roundtable is a space to work through the structural, relational, and methodological questions that arise when IIC enters collaborative contexts - not simply as theory, but as lived practice.

We may explore questions such as:

  • How do we create conditions where Nature's voices can genuinely inform collaborative work?

  • What does it mean to include IIC in decision-making processes that also require empirical data, legal frameworks, or organisational accountability?

  • How do we navigate different ways of knowing without one dominating the others?

  • What role might creative practice, storytelling, and other forms of expression play in bringing more-than-human perspectives into collaborative work?

  • What structural shifts are needed to make space for interspecies collaboration in systems that weren't designed for it?

This isn't about advocating for IIC over other approaches. It's about learning to work with IIC as a valid source of insight within a broader collaborative process.

Nature Has a Seat at the Table

Both Roundtables will include Nature's voices as active participants: not as the subject of conversation, as living presences who shape the questions, the process, and the path forward.

How this takes form will evolve organically: shaped by the questions that emerge, what Nature asks of us, and what unfolds through our shared participation.

It may include:

  • Opening each session by inviting Nature's guidance on what wants to be explored

  • Pausing mid-conversation to ask Nature what's needed

  • Bringing forward our questions to Nature and listening for responses

  • Allowing Nature to shape the structure, timing, and focus of our work together

This is not a method to be taught. It's a practice we'll explore together: one that honours the premise at the heart of this work.

Nature is not simply here to be consulted. Nature is here to participate.

The Exchange

The Roundtables are part of my commitment to sacred activism and sacred service to Nature.

The exchange is not simply about what you receive from participating. It is also about what each of us brings to the table: our experience, questions, perspectives, curiosity, presence, and willingness to explore what becomes possible together.

IIC Roundtable
For the IIC Roundtable, I hope what emerges through our conversations and shared exploration will ripple outward into your own work and lives.

This might take the form of an article, workshop, new initiative, or something entirely unexpected.

There is no prescribed project, scope, or outcome.

The invitation is simply to notice what wants to move through you and into the world.

Interdisciplinary Roundtable
For the Interdisciplinary Roundtable, the invitation is to consider how what emerges through our shared exploration might inform your own work, relationships, organisations, or wider sphere of influence.

Again, there is no prescribed project or outcome.

The ripple is not a deliverable.

You won't be asked to create a project, report back, or demonstrate an outcome. What matters is the possibility that what we explore together continues to move outward through each of us and into the wider world.

In this way, the Roundtables become part of a wider ripple of learning, relationship, and action for and with Nature.

How These Roundtables Will Take Form

The first gathering of each Roundtable will be a pilot: an opportunity to explore together what structure, timing, and rhythm best serve the work.

These Roundtables are designed for a global community. The way we gather will be shaped with attention to both accessibility and what best serves the work.

Before the pilot begins, I’ll invite participants to share their availability and preferences around frequency, meeting length, and meeting times. We may explore rotating meeting times so that people in different parts of the world have opportunities to participate.

These are living spaces, and I recognise that people's availability, capacity, and circumstances vary. Participation is encouraged whenever you are able and in ways that feel meaningful to you.

This is not a fixed programme. It's a living process, shaped by what emerges through our shared participation.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • The first pilot gatherings are planned for early 2027.

    Once there is enough interest to form a Roundtable, I’ll invite those who are interested to a Meet & Greet. This will be a chance to meet one another and explore together what will best serve the pilot.

  • Frequency, length, meeting times, and time zones will be shaped with input from the people who gather and in response to what the work itself asks for.

    Before the pilot begins, I’ll send a brief survey asking about availability and preferred rhythm.

    We may explore rotating meeting times so that people in different parts of the world have opportunities to participate.

  • The Roundtables are designed around live participation and real-time dialogue, so attending live is encouraged.

    People's availability, capacity, and time zones vary, and you won't be expected to attend every gathering.

  • The Roundtables are offered as part of my commitment to sacred activism and service to Nature.

    The exchange is grounded in participation: bringing your experience, questions, perspectives, curiosity, and presence to the table, and being open to what emerges through our shared exploration.

    For the IIC Roundtable, this may ripple outward into your own practice, work, or other forms of sacred activism. For the Interdisciplinary Roundtable, it may inform your professional, organisational, or collaborative work.

    There is no prescribed project or outcome, and you won't be asked to report back on what emerges. If you wish to share what develops through your own work, you’re always welcome to bring it back to the Roundtable.

  • Yes, if both are relevant to your work and experience.

    The Interdisciplinary Roundtable is specifically for people working in professional, institutional, or collaborative contexts, whether or not you practise intuitive interspecies communication (IIC).

    The IIC Roundtable is for practitioners and students navigating the practice of IIC, including in collaborative, interdisciplinary, or professional settings.

  • Yes, though not initially.

    Once each Roundtable has found its rhythm, there may be joint sessions where the two groups come together for shared learning and exploration.
