An author, speaker, renegade academic, and proud father, Bayo (Ph.D.) is Chief Curator and Director of The Emergence Network.
Bayo Akomolafe (Ph.D.) considers his most sacred work to be learning how to be with his daughter and son, Alethea Aanya and Kyah Jayden—and their mother, his wife and "life-nectar,” Ijeoma. Emergence Network is a constellation of humans and nonhumans working together trans-locally to curate projects, rituals, conversations and events that nurture senses of the otherwise via practices that trouble the traditional boundaries of agency and possibility. Bayo is also a visiting professor at Middlebury College, Vermont, and has taught in universities around the world. He is a consultant with UNESCO, leading efforts for the Imagining Africa’s Future (IAF) project. Bayo has authored two books, We Will Tell Our Own Story! and These Wilds Beyond our Fences: Letters to My Daughter on Humanity’s Search for Home, and has penned forewords for many others.We are humbled to share this space with such a powerful thinker as Bayo, whose poetic invocations trace the flowering worlds of an entangled Universe of time, Indigenous realities, and fugitive space. Plunging into deep pools of philosophy and imagination, Ayana and Bayo’s conversation winds through dimensions of the new and the ancient: Yoruba mythology, children as guides to bewilderment, the strategy of separation, grieving as ceremony, trickster spirits, and the teachings of failure and brokenness. As we slow down to listen anew, may we stumble beyond the human story into sanctuaries of “the otherwise”—spaces for falling apart, shapeshifting, resting, and embodying new forms.

Nora Bateson is an award-winning filmmaker, writer and educator, as well as President of the International Bateson Institute, based in Sweden. Her work asks the question “How we can improve our perception of the complexity we live within, so we may improve our interaction with the world?”.
An international lecturer, researcher and writer, Nora wrote, directed and produced the award-winning documentary, An Ecology of Mind, a portrait of her father, Gregory Bateson. Her work brings the fields of biology, cognition, art, anthropology, psychology, and information technology together into a study of the patterns in ecology of living systems. Her book, Small Arcs of Larger Circles, released by Triarchy Press, UK, 2016 is a revolutionary personal approach to the study of systems and complexity.
The IBI integrates the sciences, arts and professional knowledge to create a qualitative inquiry of the integration of life. As President, Nora directs research projects at the IBI that require multiple contexts of research and interdependent processes. Asking, “How can we create a context in which to study the contexts?”, an impressive team of international thinkers, scientists and artists have been brought together by the IBI to generate an innovative form of inquiry, which Nora coined “Transcontextual Research”.
As an educator she has developed curricula for schools in Northern California and produced and directed award winning multimedia projects on intercultural and ecological understanding. Her work, which has been presented at the world’s top universities, is described as “offering audiences a lens through which to see the world that effects not only the way we see, but also the way we think”. Nora’s work in facilitating cross-disciplinary discussions is part of her research into what she calls “the ecology of the conversation”. Her speaking engagements include keynote addresses and lectures at international conferences and universities on a wide range of topics that span the fields of anti-fascism, ecology, education, the arts, family therapy, leadership, and many more aspects of advocacy for living systems — she travels between conversations in different fields bringing multiple perspectives into view to reveal larger patterns.

“The program was terrific in every sense. It introduced new practices and helped make my existing practices more clearly visible while providing a yardstick that let me better gauge my responses, thoughts, and feelings on a range of leadership topics."
- Tristan Sterk, Department Chair, School of Art Institute of Chicago / Founder, Formsolver
"The Climate Wisdom Fellowship has been nothing short of a transformative journey... The emphasis on the nuanced, inner, human dimensions is pivotal and fills a gap in today's climate discourse. I truly believe that every leader, irrespective of their field, needs this kind of inner foundation to drive genuine, impactful changes."
- Sandiip Bhammer, Founder, Green Frontier Capital
"This training has brought me richness and depth, connecting the practical and spiritual, allowing me to be more present and aware, do better work, and be more authentic. What a gift, thank you Spencer Honeyman, for this opportunity, for leading by example, and for curating this exceptional leadership program."
- Bas Kool, Co-Founder, Geoship
“The Fellowship is such an incredible gift. The caliber of teachers and speakers was exceptional. The format itself of ongoing teaching and then small group connections and practice was immensely useful and transformative. It expanded my consciousness, continuously built new ideas, mental agility (and dissonance!) in a profound way."
- Heather Deeth, CPO, Hollyhock Retreat Center
“The speakers were phenomenal. The conversations we had with them continue to reverberate in my mind, weeks later. They also provided powerful frameworks to enhance team results -- many of which I had never before encountered. The small coaching sessions with Spencer were also invaluable. He has such a calming energy -- which helped ground me when things were getting too "heady" in my life."
- Addy Spiller, Senior Director of Product, ORKA
"Spencer's guidance through the exploration of what it means to be a leader in today's times is truly a gift. Rarely are we given the time, space and safety to explore the challenges and nuances of leadership in a way that has a lasting impact on both our personal and professional life, but over the course of a 5 month journey, the Fellowship does just that."
- Kaylyn Belcourt, President, Copernicus Educational Products
“This retreat was unlike any other leadership training I've attended. It was 3 days of embedded learning focusing largely on the human elements of leadership - how do you fully see others? what parts of you need healing? how do we enable the diversity of our cultures and communities to flourish? I left feeling more human and grounded than I have in quite some time and also took with me some tangible insights on what and how I want to change.”
- Sarah Farrell, B2B Sales Director, ClimatePartner
"I was reconnected with the significance of sharing and deeply listening to the stories of others who are experiencing the climate crisis and working to mediate the most severe of the effects. Not only a listening with the ears but with the whole body switched on, a way of listening which feels absolutely necessary to really sense the depths of how we are internalizing the changes to the biosphere. I was reminded that when faced with such seemingly insurmountable and intractable challenges like addressing climate change, the way forward can be found within us and the stories we carry.”
- Tim Tenson, Founder, TerraGenesis
"Internal work is key in showing up to this new and uncertain future we are all creating together. The Climate Wisdom Fellowship program has allowed me to unlock ideas and perspectives at a deeper level that is informing how I am showing up to this work both as an individual and as a leader."
- Marc O'Brien, Founder, Climate Designers
"In my 15+ years of climate advocacy and deploying clean energy technology, no experience has spoken so deeply to my core reasons for doing the work I do. From mourning the march of climate chaos to diving deeply into questions of embodiment and ensoulment, the months spent in fellowship with our guides and cohort extended and renewed my abilities and resolve in continuing to find integrated, equity-informed solutions to climate change."
- Keally Dewitt, Vice President, GAF Energy
"The Climate Wisdom Fellowship was deeply transformative - working with, but also beyond, the traditional skills leaders require by tapping into a more fulsome alignment of mind, body and spirit that generously invites a new paradigm for leadership."
- Gil Sheffer, Senior Associate, Orrick, Herrington, & Sutcliffe, LLP
“Connecting with other climate leaders in a space that's not about our intelligence, or how much we know about climate, but is about us as people, and what it is like to be people, knowing what we know, doing what we do, is a rare opportunity.”
- Matthew Eshed, Biosecurity Research Fellow
“I felt accepted in all my craziness that has been building up over the years and the resulting messiness of my nervous system. While we're all heading into uncertain terrain now I trust that I have what it takes to traverse the terrain with more grace and grit that is supportive of fellow humans."
- Greg Brown, Founder, Blue Green Planet Project

Each year we have 1-2 volunteer interns who, in exchange for light administrative support, join the cohort in a learning capacity with direct guidance from Spencer.
To connect regarding other dimensions of support, please email to spencer@climate-wisdom.org.
To submit interest for this, please visit this link here.
There will be a mix of framing, teaching, small group and large group work on a variety of personal and interpersonal content. The group workshops are live practice and connection to bond with fellow environmentally-focused leaders.
One call per month is joined by a guest speaker who will present their unique work and take Q&A from participants. Optional readings each month help to prepare and frame the work of each expert.
We love coaching but, yes, this is different. You can think about it as a dojo to practice facilitation and leadership with peers outside of your high-stakes organizational context. It is a cohort environment of deep support that is broader than a 1:1 engagement and is more practice-based than traditional coaching.
For those who are interested, there will be a retreat held in Northern California at the culmination of the program. This retreat will have a cost and is not part of the gifted program. Travel is covered by participants. This will be a time to deepen learnings in embodied practices with in-depth, facilitated large group and small group experiences as well as engage in practices such as a nature solo out on the land. It is a powerful experience that many participants cite as influential in the arc of the program and their lives.
We aim to build a coherent group across a number of factors including: experience, organizational context, opportunity for impact, diversity of perspective, and deemed readiness.
Participants will be founders, directors, visionaries, or thought-leaders working in the fields of climate, sustainability, biodiversity, regenerative economy, circular economy, conservation, or related fields. There will be startups using AI or other innovative technologies; there will also be organizations that have social, cultural, agricultural, or low-tech solutions to climate issues. We aim to form groups that are diverse as possible while having a determined focus on contributing to a net positive civilization.
It is strongly encouraged to attend all of the large group calls but there will be recordings in the case that one is missed.
Small group pods are where a group of 4-6 individuals meet once a month for focused attention on personal learnings, challenges, and content deepening. Times for these will be decided on via a poll for the group and once set will be kept at that same monthly time throughout the program.
No. We are not gathering to create a hive-mind to solve any particular climate issue together. We are gathering to refine the means by which you can create and guide innovative teams that will be able to address any number of environmental issues. We are building the muscles for creating healthy, dynamic culture. There will, however, be side conversations and networking on various issues in the group no doubt given the shared background, but that will not be a focus of our work.
If you'd like to participate in a future cohort please fill out this form here. Thank you.
