Susan Porter
Susan is an artist with 27 years recovery in Al-Anon and a desire for connection with the collapse-aware community. Prints of Susan's artwork are available at FineArtAmerica.
Matthew Painton
Matthew’s lifelong environmentalism and social activism did not prepare him for the sudden collapse awareness that completely unravelled him in 2017. Since then he has been working closely with fellow coaches, therapists, facilitators and educators to upgrade our sensemaking practices in order to help others get to grips with what is transpiring on earth and to respond with virtue. He coaches Deep Adaptation and full-spectrum sensemaking one-to-one and in groups, does photography to transmute his anxiety into beauty, and lives in the UK. Email Matthew.
