Tickets & Info
Event Description
Community EventsTech & NetworkingLearning & Workshops
This event is part of a public follow-on workshop series tailing the 2026 Greater Victoria Climate Forum which brought together leaders from ~60 unique organizations doing climate / environment / sustainability work in the GVA.
Money can create pressures on organizations and individuals that can feel existential, because of this it can be very difficult to avoid incentives that conflict with our ecological aims. How do we structure the ways we relate to money individually and collectively, so that the work we do is as closely aligned with our values as possible?
In this workshop, we will:
Bring to light some of these subtle and not-so-subtle misalignments.
Identify misalignments where we may be able to intervene.
Explore how we can help each other create a more synergistic organizational ecosystem.
Facilitator Bio
Seth Bunev has spent his life exploring the ingredients needed to create thriving, truly ecologically aligned ways of life--from the material objects we create, to how we gather and the myths that mold what matters. He is currently working on a digital democracy tool that scaffolds systems thinking at scale, and researching the social conditions for deep media literacy at the Cascade Institute.
Nick Couture (he/him) is a registered professional engineer (P.Eng) and founder of Climate Paradigm Collaborative; an organization specializing in regenerative design and addressing the social, psychological, and cultural aspects of the climate crisis (polycrisis). He holds 8-years of experience distributed across climate change facilitation, grief work, regenerative design, systems engineering, and social change theory. He is passionate about building strong relationships that have the potential disrupt the euro-centric norms of the professional world. Nick is also the designated Volunteer Coordinator at TheDock Center for Social Impact.
