Professional Bio for Maya Frost, Founder of Collapse Forward, Creator of Collapse Companioning™, Human Adaptation and Personal Resilience Expert

Maya Frost, founder of Collapse Forward, is the creator of Collapse Companioning™, her deep process of compasionate presencing and rewilding imagination. Since 2020, she has held space for hundreds of individuals at their breaking-open points: devastating loss and grief, searing identity shifts, and existential awakening. Her signature 30-day process has helped people in over 20 countries turn despair into depth, discovery, daring, doing, and delight despite everything.

In the early 2000s, her playful, eyes-wide-open approach to everyday mindfulness sparked the imagination of people in over 100 countries, and was featured in 150 media outlets around the world. Her focus on awe and awareness was inspired by her own struggle to overcome her grief as the sole survivor of a tragic car accident at the age of 15.

At international metacrisis  -focused conferences (including the recent World Adaptation Forum in Budapest) and collective sense-making events (such as Integra in Amsterdam), she serves as a keynote speaker offering stories of our surprising capacity to creatively reclaim our agency and protect the people, places, and possibilities we love.
