TurnStones is group reflection space built around a series of conversations which are co-created by the group and skilfully supported by Marcos & Jeremy.
​
The conversations have the capacity to interact with each other in ways that are unique to each person involved and the interactions can lead to the turning over current ideas and finding new perspectives from what you reveal. Just like the action of the beautiful little waders called TurnStones which gives them their name, you will turn over stones to reveal something new. For the birds they find hidden foods; for you it will be hidden ideas and feelings. Both nourishing in different ways.
Imagine This...
​
You come to TurnStones with something of interest to you. It will be composed of thoughts, emotions and bodily experience (see graphic). In the session, using a range of different approaches, Jeremy and Marco will facilitate a number of different conversations, prompted by language or imagery. The conversations have the capacity to interact with each other, and with the issue with which you came to the session. The nature of that interaction will be unique to you, arising from turning ‘stones’ at the level of your thinking and feeling. It is not a linear process, more associative - the making of connections. The nature of the connections will be influenced by experiencing TurnStones with others (their influence represented by the wavy lines) and they may form in real time or at some point in the future. TurnStones is a process with emergent outcomes, rather than outcomes where there is a strong relationship between cause and effect.

What do I do Next? Here are some options...
​
TurnStones OPEN
These are 90 minute virtual sessions with between 4 and 10 players. There will be four dates
throughout 2025, and players will be able to book onto any number, subject to availability. There is a single price point of £75 per session. The 'OPEN' refers to the fact that the group of players
may well be different on each session. There is a fluidity about the 'OPEN' format which players experience as a sense of freedom to explore.
TurnStones CLOSED Group
These are 90 minute virtual sessions with between 4 and 8 players. Again there will be four dates throughout 2025, and players will sign up for the entire sequence with a cost mapping to £75 per session. Having the same group attending each session will allow for some evolution of how we co-create the TurnStones conversations over the four sessions.
Alternatively if you have a existing group of between 4 and 10 people and you might be interested in having a bespoke schedule of TurnStones sessions please do get in touch with either Jeremy or Marcos to discuss further.
TurnStones FREE !
We will continue to offer FREE TurnStones sessions (at least two in 2025) for people who are
interested and who want to 'try before you buy.' We will reserve some free places for previous players to ensure TurnStones is both accessible and sustainable.​​​
TurnStones for Organisations
We are already making TurnStones available to organisations, with interest from public, private and third sector already. While the process of TurnStones and is always based around the curation of 'conversations which interact with each other', the method by which we do it draws on the diversity of experience we draw on. They are coach and therapist; academic and public sector leader; scientist and architect. Between us we have a wealth of experience in supporting generative thinking of individuals and groups and will be delighted to create a bespoke experience for you. You can find out more in the attached document or by emailing either Marcos (marcos@kolimbri.com) or Jeremy (jeremy@alpamayocoaching.com).
Why TurnStones?
TurnStones is the art of turning our thinking and feeling upside down in the company of others, and being interested about what gets revealed. It’s about seeing what emerges when you have conversations interacting with each other in ways that surprise and engage. You will find TurnStones interesting if you are actively thinking and feeling in relation to one, or a combination, of the contexts described below…
-
You have something that is troubling you. Something preventing you from moving forward as you want to.
-
You have something going well for you and you want to build on it but are not sure how…
-
You have a relationship that is not firing like you want it to be. You want to build bridges but are not sure how?
-
You have an experience that you are in the middle of processing and are looking for greater clarity…
-
You feel your creativity needs a boost. You can feel it within, but there is something locking it inside and you want to release it, to share it with the world...
-
You are at a crossroads on a journey you are on. The signs are clear, the decision is not.....
-
There is something you are striving to know when being more at ease with not knowing might be a better way forward...
-
There is something you are holding onto despite feeling that loosening your grip is the right way forward for you...
-
There is something that needs to be said which you are finding difficult to say...
-
Something in the way you think and feel has taken a hold and you want to break free from it...
-
You are noticing that your behaviours are not helping you even as you continue to live by them...
-
Reflections on how you work and who you work with are turning into rumination. You want to share but get stuck in the workings of your own head and heart...
-
Your sense of belonging is compromised by your lived experience, contemporary and in the past…
-
You are a leader looking to reconnect to the internal and external resources that power your sense of purpose and vision…
-
As an activist you have a strong sense of wanting to bring about change, yet you are not sure on how you can ensure that your voice is heard…
-
You feel that circumstances have eroded your self-awareness and you want to rediscover your authentic self…
-
You are a believer in the value of reflection yet find it difficult to make time and space for it…
