In March 2025 I’m launching a new programme – a four-week practical guided exploration of how you can respond to an unjust world (without losing your mind).
Sessions will run for one hour on Monday evenings, 6pm – 7pm UK time from 10th to 31st March, with an optional community check-in the following month. It’s for you if you’d like to explore different ways to respond meaningfully to a world in multiple crises.
Sign up here.
Each week we’ll focus on part of the ‘Seven Paths of Responsiveness’, mixing reflection, discussion and practical experiments to discover new ways forward together. The seven paths developed from my own explorations over my life, as well as reading and interviews with other contemplative changemakers.
They are:
Contemplate causes and conditions
Nurture your energy
Engage with your anger
Choose your line of action
Find the others
Right-size your expectations
Participate!
Join us to explore these vital questions in practical ways, within your life and a supportive community. The fee is £45 (if this would be a strong barrier please contact me to discuss alternatives).

More about group programmes
Movement for Change group programmes are designed to build the skills and confidence to thrive while creating change sustainably, avoiding the risk of burnout.
Training sessions mix deep and light work with a dynamic mix of reflection, knowledge sharing, group discussion and movement practice.
“I am more aware of my own reaction to things, my own emotions and when I get fired up about things. It has given me some tools to be more honest with myself about what is going on.”
How does it work?
You can choose a half-day or a full day workshop in person or over Zoom, as well as an 8-week online programme, Strengthening the Core. I usually work by joining an organisation or network to provide these sessions in collaboration, with occasional opportunities to join an open programme directly, as an individual.
Day or half-day workshops
* Five ways of looking at anger (full day)
* How to have a good fight (half day)
* Boundaries for nice people (half day)
* Making work a place for thriving (half day)
Bespoke workshops are also available. If you have an idea for a new one, please get in touch!
8 week Strengthening the Core Programme
Strengthening the Core combines many of these ideas and practices into one integrated learning journey, with sessions combining movement, reflection and group discussion.
Each week covers a different theme, with themes weaving together over the course of the eight weeks. The programme has been running since early 2019.
An external evaluation in 2020 showed that it successfully built people’s skills and reduced the risk of exhaustion and overwhelm.
Past groups have included charity chief executives, people in their first management roles, women’s refuge workers and people in community health projects, including two interactions specially for arts + culture professionals, in partnership with Arts Fundraising and Philanthropy.
“In weeks when I felt there was no time – this was by far the best use of my time. Milla created a calm supportive space where we explored valuable techniques and shared ideas that we could continue to implement in our home and work life. A wonderful opportunity to take a breath and reflect.”
