When did marketing start feeling misaligned?

Maybe it was when performance began to outweigh meaning.
Or when persuasion replaced conversation.
Or when growth always seemed to come at a cost.

Many participants don’t join because they want new tactics. They join because they’ve been quietly asking:
“Why does this campaign feel wrong, even when it performs?”
“Why does slowing down feel risky?”
“Is the tension I feel in my work personal, or systemic?”

If you’ve sensed that something in the way we communicate, persuade, and grow doesn’t fully sit right, you’re not alone.This course begins in that tension. And the goal is not to offer a shortcut, but to explore what becomes possible when we trace those patterns to their roots and begin practising differently.

About The Course

Challenging the Logics of Modern Marketing

Traditional marketing is built on urgency, persuasion, optimisation, and growth at scale. Over time, these patterns have become normalised, even when they create pressure, disconnection, or ethical tension. This course is for those who are ready to examine these inherited logics more closely, and explore what responsible, relational practice could look like instead.

Tracing the Roots of Extraction

Together, we explore how colonial histories, power structures, and systems of dominance have shaped marketing as we know it. Not as abstract theory, but as living logics that still influence how we measure success, structure timelines, and communicate today. Understanding these roots helps us see what we’ve inherited and what we can choose to shift.

Practising Regenerative Alternatives

Through facilitated dialogue, somatic reflection, ecosystem mapping, narrative work, and a regenerative experimentation framework, participants test small, grounded changes in their real-life projects. The focus is on practice, moving from persuasion to participation, from extraction to relationship.

Learning in Relationship

The course unfolds as a live, 3-month cohort experience. Learning happens in conversations with facilitators and peers navigating similar tensions. This is a container for unlearning, reimagining, and building coherence between what you believe, how you communicate, and how you grow.

Have you been sensing a disconnect between the marketing work you're doing and the world you want to help create?

Who You'll Learn From

“It is not possible for the river to drink its own water, the sun cannot hoard its own light nor the forest its trees. So why do we tell stories as if scarcity is sacred in a world of default abundance”

Course Overview

Over 3 months we'll gather for 2.5-hour sessions that combine deep learning with meaningful connection.

Our journey includes guided reflections, practical experimentation, and community dialogue.
‍

Part 1: Uncovering the Roots

We begin by examining how marketing has been shaped by colonial history, systems of dominance, and white supremacy culture.

Participants explore how urgency, optimisation, individualism, and growth-at-all-costs show up not only in campaigns, but in internal processes, expectations, and performance metrics.
This phase builds shared language and critical awareness, grounding the work in historical and systemic context.

Outcomes: Recognise historical patterns, name inherited tactics, and begin your first regenerative experiment.

Part 2: Re-grounding and Reimagining

From critique, we move toward reorientation.Drawing from living systems thinking, regenerative principles, and Indigenous wisdom traditions, participants begin to see marketing as part of a broader ecosystem.We explore relationality, interdependence, pacing, and consent as practical design principles.

Outcomes: Reclaim narrative power, apply wisdom traditions, and root your practice in relational ways of working

Session Details ↓

Part 3: Practicing the Shift

The final phase centres on application.

Using a regenerative experimentation framework, participants test small, grounded shifts in their own projects. This may include ecosystem mapping, narrative redesign, rethinking campaign structure, or changing internal decision-making rhythms.

The focus is not on building the “perfect” alternative, but on building confidence through practice.

Outcomes: Gain applied tools, reframe research and leave with actionable feedback on your real-life project.

FAQs

How long is the program and when does it take place?

How much time should I expect to commit?

The core of this course are the weekly theory sessions, each of them being around 2.5 hours. On average, expect 3–4 hours per week including optional reflection prompts, readings, or bi-weekly community AMA sessions.

What if the program dates/times don’t fit my schedule?

We’ve designed the program with spaciousness in mind. While we encourage participants to attend at least 80% of the live sessions to engage meaningfully with the community, all sessions will be recorded for flexible, asynchronous catching up.

What happens if I miss a live session?

You’ll receive a full recording of the session along with any accompanying materials. We’ll also provide optional ways to reconnect with the reflections, prompts, or discussions you missed.

It’s for: Independent consultants and creative strategists In-house marketers, comms professionals, and brand leads Early-career professionals questioning the status quo Movement-builders, cultural workers, and regenerative practitioners Whether you’ve been exploring decolonialism and regeneration for years, or you’re just beginning - if you feel the pull, there’s likely a place for you here.

How do I apply to join?

Start by filling out our application survey to help us understand where you are in your journey and how this course can support you.

What happens after I apply?

We’ll invite selected applicants to a short 15–20 minute connection call to get to know you better and explore whether the course feels like the right fit.

How many people are accepted?

We’re welcoming a small group of around 30 participants into the cohort. This allows for meaningful interaction, trust-building, and co-created learning.

How are applicants selected?

We’re curating the cohort with care. As we review applications, we’re holding these criteria in mind: Relevance: You work in or around marketing, storytelling, or systems change / or you’re actively transitioning into this space. Readiness: You’re open to unlearning, reflective about equity, regeneration, white supremacy, and decolonialism, and curious to go deeper. Community-mindedness: You’re ready to show up with care for yourself, and for others. Representation: We’re committed to a diverse group across identities, life experiences, and geography.

Why are there three rounds of applications?

We aim to shape a group of learners that reflects diversity of background, experience, and perspective, while ensuring alignment with the course's ethos. That means inviting people in gradually, over three enrollment windows: Window 1 closes August 15 Window 2 closes September 12 Window 3 closes October 10 Applications are reviewed within each window, and selected participants are invited before we reopen the next round.

How do scholarships work?

We use a redistributive pricing model, which means that every participant who joins through the Redistributing Access tier directly helps fund scholarship seats for others.

The final number of scholarships we’re able to offer will be determined once applications close, based on how many people enrolled through the highest tier.

Who is eligible for a scholarship?

We’re offering a limited number of scholarships, and these seats are reserved for applicants who are experiencing genuine financial hardship that wouldn’t allow them to join the program without support.

We ask that you request a scholarship only if it's truly needed, so we can extend this opportunity to those with the least access.

How do I apply for a scholarship?

You can request a scholarship as part of your application form by selecting the relevant option and briefly sharing your situation. We review all applications once they are submitted, but we will have to confirm whether you are eligible for a scholarship after the applications for the course are closed and the number of scholarships available is determined.

How do payment plans work?

We offer a 3-installment payment plan to make Supported Access (Tier 1) more manageable for those who need it.

Here’s how it works:

- You’ll sign a short agreement

- Payments are made via bank transfer

- The total amount is split across 3 monthly payments

Who is eligible for a payment plan?

Payment plans are only available for those enrolling at the Supported Access tier, intended for people with limited financial flexibility.

Please only request a payment plan if it's genuinely needed, so we can continue offering this option to those facing financial difficulty.
