Luea Ritter

PhD researcher, Department of Environment and Geography, University of York
Process Designer and Steward

​Luea is a process designer and an inquisitive field weaver. As a co-visionary, she primarily focuses on hosting and facilitation, supporting the World Ethic Forum's Firekeeper Circle, and managing the Forum's event programme. Through Participatory Action Research, she also contributes to the development of the World Ethic Forum as a researcher.

Luea works internationally across various sectors to guide and design holistic transition processes that embrace the challenge and potential of our times. She thrives within complexity, and through a diverse medley of fields has developed a high sensitivity for context-based social dynamics. She weaves societal change practices, trauma and healing work, leadership and Earth-based wisdom traditions to cultivate capacities in individuals and collectives. Until 2022 she was part of collaboratio helvetica, an initiative that catalyses systemic change towards the societal transformation of Switzerland by cultivating a cross-sectoral innovation ecosystem, running different capacity-building programmes and an open knowledge sharing platform. She serves as co-founder and creative steward of Collective Transitions, an action-learning and research organisation dedicated to building shared capacity for transformational shifts.
