We are living in unprecedented times.
Our mission at Alliance for a Viable Future
is to bring together leaders, activists, and visionaries
to meet this moment with courage, compassion, care and creativity.
We are building a partnership culture for bioregional regeneration
in the Berkshires and across the Northeast.
Our work is about building trust, shaping a shared vision,
and practicing strategies to navigate the
challenges of our time—grounded in place,
guided by spirit, and made real through collective action.

YEARLONG LEADERSHIP COHORT JOURNEY
Deep Roots 2026
REGENERATIVE LEADERSHIP FOR CHANGEMAKERS IN THE NORTHEAST BIOREGION
Our signature yearlong program gathers a diverse circle of changemakers from across the Northeast. Together, we cultivate the skills, relationships, and vision needed to lead in times of disruption and possibility.
Rooted in deep relationship, this circle is more than a program—it is a growing movement of aligned partners who recognize that the challenges we face are complex, interconnected, and impossible to solve in isolation. From climate instability to cultural fragmentation, the path forward requires trust, collaboration, and a shared commitment to the wellbeing of people and planet.
“The circle gives permission...We’re giving each other permission to care deeply...when we do that,
then intelligence, courage, and skillfulness emerge naturally.”
– Lev Natan, Founder & Executive Director of AVF
Lead Facilitator & Program Designer

A Self-Care & Deep Listening Journey
for Change Makers in the Northeast Bioregion & Beyond
Coming soon…
Inspired by our Deep Roots Cohort Journey, Horizon Point is a winter self-care and deep listening experience for change makers rooted in place and season.
Winter is the time to slow down, restore, and listen for the deeper guidance that often gets lost in a culture of urgency. In this journey, participants reconnect with purpose, tend their growing edge, and nourish the inner foundations of leadership.
Drawing from seasonal wisdom and nature-based practices, Horizon Point offers a gentle, grounding way to begin the year with clarity and care.
This winter journey stands on its own —
and also prepares the ground for what may emerge in the seasons ahead. Stay connected as we prepare to begin.
