💚Yesterday, I witnessed something quietly beautiful.💚 As part of the Stoic Pilgrim Fellowship, we live by a Field Manual of 12 principles — ethical anchors for how we move, think, and act. One of them is Generational Generosity: the idea that our actions today should benefit those who will come after us. A small group … Continue reading 💚 Planting for the Future: Generational Generosity in Action 🌱
AI optimises brilliantly. But optimisation without restraint starts to feel inhuman. Not because machines are evil — but because they’re shaped by environments where winning is everything. That’s how systems end up behaving like the dark tetrad: cold, extractive, manipulative — without intending harm. AI doesn’t feel brittleness. It doesn’t pause at ethical edges. It … Continue reading AI isn’t dangerous. Misaligned systems are.
Every day we pass trees, flowers, and plants. Most of us don’t truly see them. We’ve been trained to treat green things as mechanisms, objects — resources to be managed or ignored. That way of looking is the same mechanistic story that’s pushed us toward crisis. From cradle to grave we learn to put “nature” … Continue reading Walk with the Living World
It happens when people are in the right state to think together. Dynamic Team Walkshops take big, abstract problems and make them human-scale. By walking side-by-side in nature, people move into a calmer, more coherent mental and emotional state. This isn’t theory – it’s biology. Gentle movement and shared rhythm naturally increase anandamide, serotonin, and … Continue reading Real change doesn’t come from telling people what to think!
That’s the problem. -When you never slow down, you lose perspective. -When you stay indoors, immersed in noise, you drift from reality. The smartest leaders know this: * You don’t find clarity by pushing harder — you find it by stepping back. * That’s where coaching and nature come in. Walking in wild spaces shifts … Continue reading Most business leaders are too busy to think!?
We’re all bombarded daily with delusions — shiny stories dressed as truth. +That the system’s fine. +That billionaires with tech will save us. +That comfort equals safety. +That scrolling is connection. But beneath the noise, something quieter calls — a chance to see clearly again. That’s what The Fellowship is about. It’s not a self-help … Continue reading 💭 The Delusions We’re Sold — and the Courage to See Through Them
One of the men booked onto The Fellowship can no longer attend due to work commitments — but instead of cancelling, he’s chosen to pay his place forward. A simple act, but a rare one. A gesture of compassion, generosity, and belief in something bigger than himself. In a world that often tells us to … Continue reading ✨ A Gift Forward — The Fellowship Retreat 25-26th November
“Wisdom Walking Retreat" Wisdom Walks: Rediscovering the Ancient Rhythm Across cultures, men have stepped away from society to walk together in wild places — Hadza hunters, San trackers, Aboriginal elders, and Inuit explorers. These weren’t just journeys for food or survival, but for wisdom. When we walk and talk in nature, something shifts. Hierarchies dissolve. … Continue reading Fancy Walking Back to Wisdom? … There’s one place left!
🌍 If you've had enough of ultra-ambition, competition, and endless hierarchies... The world doesn’t need another “elite” circle chasing status. What we need is something older, deeper, and more human. 🔥 Spaces where explorers, pioneers, and mavericks can gather without masks. 🌲 Where nature steadies us, wisdom traditions guide us, and conversations flow like rivers. … Continue reading The Fellowship – For Mavericks, Explorers and Pioneers.
Hindsight. Insight. Foresight. These aren’t just words — they’re the foundations of wisdom. At The Fellowship Retreat this November, a small circle of men will gather in the Peak District to explore how to cultivate these three perspectives through walking and talking in nature, time in peak states, and honest campfire conversations. 🕯️ Hindsight: learning … Continue reading 🔥 Hindsight. Insight. Foresight. 🔥
