Private Collapse Companioning™ With Maya Frost, Founder of Collapse Forward 

Turn uncertainty into clarity, creative energy, inspired action, and deep connection.

Metacrisis. Polycrisis. Collapse. The Great Turning. The Great Simplification.

Whatever you choose to call it, you are processing the truth of our predicament and want to make changes in alignment with your growing awareness.

You may be facing climate anxiety and collapse grief,                                                                              or struggling with despair or trauma around all that is changing.

I have helped people in 20+ countries find a fulfilling new way forward.

This is not therapy. It is not coaching. 

It is a private space for intelligent and intentional transformation.

Spring 2026 appearances:

I work with highly-capable people who are wrestling with profound questions about meaning, direction, belonging, creativity, relationships, aging, resilience, and the future.

You may be:

  • navigating grief, uncertainty, burnout, or disillusionment
  • sensing that your old identity no longer fits
  • redesigning your work around changing realities
  • longing for a more meaningful and coherent way forward
  • trying to remain fully awake without becoming emotionally consumed
  • searching for a wiser way to live in an unstable era

You are not looking for formulas or frameworks.

You are looking for clarity, a more conscious way to live now, and the courage to make changes that protect the people, places, and possibilities you love.

I work privately with those navigating personal, professional, relational, creative, or existential transitions.

Things feel heavy, confusing, even paralyzing.

Together, we find your most natural way to:

  • navigate grief and uncertainty
  • turn anxiety into curiosity and clarity
  • transform despair into creative energy
  • get playfully mindful and steady
  • build resilience through joyful action
  • create adaptation plans that inspire and fulfill you

    Young people feeling robbed of their future.

    Creatives facing burnout and competition from AI.

    Non-profit leaders struggling with funding cuts.

    graphic with text that reads: What's Unique

    Many of my clients have already done coaching, therapy, and personal development programs.

    They recognize that what has value now is lived experience with an embodied understanding of crisis and change, and knowing how to adapt through care, creativity, and collaboration. 

    As they long to find meaning and expand their own capacity for grounded leadership, they are searching for a steady, skilled, and wise companion who can help them hold complexity without panic, denial, or cynicism. 

    What I offer draws from many dimensions of lived experience:

    • early and extensive experience with loss 
    • small-town roots and a global perspective
    • work as a mindfulness trainer, mediator, and creative breakthrough coach
    • experience as an educator, writer, artist, entrepreneur, and non-profit leader
    • personal reinventions in seven different countries
    • roles as a mother, grandmother, and elder

    This work is rooted in the latest research around anxiety, habits, and transformations, as well as my own lessons learned over decades. 

    graphic with text that reads: Is this for you?

    I have worked with clients facing extreme circumstances.

    Survivors of school shootings in the U.S. 

    Those fleeing from war-torn Ukraine to live in Poland.

    Climate refugees leaving their flooded or burned homes.

     

    But I also work with those who simply want to make choices that protect what they care about as things escalate.

    You don't have to be facing a life-threatening situation in order to benefit from companioning.

    But if you are, please know that it is possible to find something to hold onto even when nothing feels possible.
