JOURNEY THROUGH THE SEASONS
WEAVING A PARTNERSHIP CULTURE
BEGINNING SEPTEMBER 2026
A seasonal pathway for connection, reflection, and collective transformation
Alliance for a Viable Future is developing a year-long series of online programs designed to support changemakers in reconnecting with themselves, each other, and the living systems we are part of.
Rooted in the seasonal rhythms of the Northeast, this series offers a structured yet flexible pathway through the year—inviting participants into cycles of learning, reflection, rest, and renewal. Together, these programs cultivate the inner and relational foundations needed for meaningful, collaborative change.

🍂 harvest time:
Weaving a Partnership Culture (September–October 2026)
An introductory series exploring AVF’s core vision and theory of change.
Participants engage in dialogue and reflection on:
Building trust through circles and relationships
Partnership as a foundation for cultural and systems change
Leadership rooted in collaboration, reciprocity, and shared purpose
This series offers an accessible entry point into AVF’s broader community and prepares participants for deeper engagement.
🌑 preparing for winter:
Embracing the Darkness (November–Winter Solstice 2026)
A guided journey through the late fall and early winter season.
As the natural world turns inward, this series creates space to:
Slow down and reflect
Honor emotional and energetic cycles
Engage practices of rest, integration, and self-care
The series culminates in a Winter Solstice gathering, marking a transition point between darkness and the return of light.
🌅 new year inspiration:
Horizon Point (Winter Solstice–NEW YEARS - Spring Equinox 2026-2027)
This self-paced audio journey invites you into deep listening, renewal, and visioning.
Inspired by the Deep Roots Fellowship, Horizon Point supports participants to:
Reconnect with purpose and inner guidance
Restore energy after the winter season
Clarify vision for the year ahead
Through reflections, stories, and practices, participants are invited into a grounded, personal process of renewal. This experience stands on its own while also serving as preparation for deeper engagement in AVF programs.
deep roots: a Pathway into Deeper Engagement
These seasonal offerings are designed as a conversation that gradually leads into a larger ecosystem of relationship, remembering and reweaving community.
Participants who feel called to go deeper are invited into the Deep Roots Fellowship, a nine-month cohort beginning every spring, where relationships, leadership, and collaborative initiatives are cultivated over time. Additional short-form programs is being planned for the spring and summer to support continued engagement and accessibility.
at the core
This Journey through the Seasons is grounded in a simple but powerful idea:
Meaningful social and ecological change begins with how we relate—to ourselves, to each other, and to the world around us. By creating consistent, accessible spaces for connection and reflection throughout the year, we are helping to cultivate the trust, clarity, and shared purpose needed for a more just and regenerative future.
