WHAT IS THIS PROGRAM?

Taking the JUMP begs some big questions. What is the focus for life if not accumulating stuff and wealth? What are the things that really matter? How can we cultivate those things within ourselves? How do we relate to those strong feelings and habits within us that encourage us to keep consuming in a way which is devastating the planet? Are there practices, such as contemplations, rituals or meditations that will help us break those habits? What “system” of thought can we replace the system we’ve been used to all these years? 

Take the Jump aims to provide some suggestions and support in answering these questions, and ultimately providing us with the inner tools to help us break our habits and start to live and feel differently.

1. Inner Climate Mondays: a weekly, rolling online workshop.

2. Resources: Resources and tools we can use in our own lives

INNER CLIMATE MONDAYS

What are Inner Climate Mondays?

At Take the Jump, we believe that tackling the climate crisis isn't just about changing what we do, but also about understanding what we feel. The state of the world directly shapes our inner world, and learning to navigate this is a vital part of the transition.

That’s why we created Inner Climate Mondays—a weekly, rolling online workshop. It’s a dedicated 90-minute space to pause, connect, and explore the emotional, spiritual, and cultural impacts of the times we live in.

Each week, we gather to share the load. Using different perspectives and practical tools, we create a supportive community where feelings of anxiety, grief, anger, or overwhelm are not just welcome, but are the very starting point of our conversation.

This space is for you if:

• You feel the weight of the climate crisis and want to process it with others.

• You're seeking a space to move beyond facts and figures to explore the emotional heart of the issue.

• You want to understand your feelings—from grief to hope—and learn how to channel them into meaningful action.

No need to book. Just turn up and find clarity, connection, and strength in a community that feels as deeply as you do.

When: Monday evenings for up to 90 minutes from 6.30pm (UK time)

More soon.

Taking the JUMP will impact your lifestyle for the better. You’ll experience new ways of doing things, find new connections and shape new priorities. You may feel inspired to link the 6 shifts to the wider lifestyle shifts with which we aim to improve our lives. For instance other aspects of living with less stuff and more joy, such as work life balance.

More to follow.

Taking the JUMP and adopting the 6 shifts is the most impactful thing you can do to stop ecological breakdown. For those who want to go even further or have finished the JUMP and are ready for the next step, there are other steps you can take (though from a climate point of view you will have done the biggest things through Taking the Jump). 

To develop a deeper understanding of your life locally, globally, environmentally and socially, Doughnut Economics Action Lab (DEAL) has free resources available for you to use. In time, we’ll understand how the DEAL approach can assess the impact of the shifts and broaden them.
