Things are unraveling. We can feel it in organisations, in communities, in the wider world. What if we can relate to this unraveling as an opportunity? What happens when we come to understand that comfort with impermanence is KEY to resilience? And what happens when we get more bold about reaching out and finding 'the others' with whom we can align to weave the better?

About the speakers
Kelly Kamaka’alohi Asato is a keiki o ka āina (child of the land), born and raised in the Hawaiian Islands. Growing up in a deeply multicultural community shaped her worldview and opened pathways to Eastern and Western teachings and practices, which she weaves into her work with the people and organizations she serves. She is a somatic leadership facilitator and executive coach with over fifteen years of experience partnering with Global 500 companies, U.S. government agencies, and mission-driven organizations.
Through years of intensive work with senior executives, Kelly has discovered that life shapes us in a way that distances us from our truth and our authentic self. She partners with leaders in rediscovering, remembering, and re-integrating what lies in their hearts, including vulnerabilities, strengths and longings while identifying points of incoherence that limit their potential for inspiration, connection, and influence. The result is greater awareness, resilience, choice, and joy through an embodied understanding of the Self and all its possibilities.
Kelly partners with socially conscious leadership organizations working toward cultural and systemic change—grounded in connection, healing, and the repair of historical and racialized trauma—to cultivate mutuality, belonging, and sufficiency. She is the former Director of Personal Mastery at Mobius Executive Leadership and now serves as a Senior Advisor to its Executive Retreat Practice. She is also a Senior Consultant with NextGen Leadership, an affiliate of Seven Stones Leadership, and a lead facilitator for Winning From Within, the leadership model developed by Harvard Law Lecturer Erica Ariel Fox.
Kelly lives with her Watertown ʻohana (family) in the Charles River Watershed in eastern Massachusetts.
Curtis Ogden grew up in Flint, Michigan in the upper Midwest of the United States and benefitted from experiences living overseas in Libreville, Gabon, southern France and Harare, Zimbabwe. He is currently a Senior Associate with the Interaction Institute for Social Change (IISC) and has spent the past two decades helping individual change agents, social sector organizations, communities and networks to better collaborate for justice and sustainability. Much of Curtis’ work entails consulting with multi-organizational networks and networked organizations to strengthen and transform food, public health, education and economic development systems at local, state, regional and national levels, while doing this work with an eye towards equitable wellbeing and belonging.
Curtis is also a member of the Research Alliance for Regenerative Economics (RARE) and teaches interactive courses on “energy systems science and practice” for just and sustainable communities. HeCurtis writes regularly for IISC’s blog and the Network Weaver blog.
Curtis holds a Master’s degree in theology from Harvard Divinity School and a Bachelor’s degree in cultural anthropology from the University of Michigan. He lives in the Connecticut River Watershed in western Massachusetts in the US.
