The Abundant Academy Programme and Community in 2024-25

The Abundant Academy flagship programme will run on alternate Friday mornings 10.00-12.00, beginning 18 October 2024 for Semester 1, and 24 January 2025 for Semester 2.

We begin the year building up a habit of Replenishment, as fundamental to leadership and, indeed, to functioning at all!

The sessions are also open to the  Abundant Academy Community, a wonderfully supportive and inspiring network that is made open to all programme members. AbAc Community members also meet outside of the programme dates, for facilitated gatherings, on-going coaching, and personal check-ins on whatever is important to us in our lives right now.  

All core sessions run online in order to maximise access. 

Bonus events and in-person workshops

Information about bonus events will be circulated across the year. Some of these will be in-person. In-person workshops focus particularly on the embodied aspects of Abundant Academy, which are vital to the transformative effects of the resources.
