Personalized Private Collapse Companioning™ with Maya Frost
Collapse Companioning™ is the unique and proven 30-day process created by Maya Frost that shifts perspective, transforms habits, rewilds imagination, and inspires adaptive engagement.
It is based on the latest research related to generalized anxiety and human behavior, and applies what is recognized as the most effective method for reducing anxiety and turning grief into creative energy.
But it is also inspired by my own lived experience of dealing with loss, grief, fear, helplessness, and hopelessness.
Why Collapse Companioning™ Is So Effective For Those Who Are Aware of Our Metacrisis
Collapse Companioning™ is informed by recent research showing that anxiety often functions as a habit that can be changed through awareness, curiosity, and small daily shifts.
Inspired by the work of Dr. Judson Brewer, James Clear, and Dr. BJ Fogg, I combine mindfulness, behavioral science, and tiny habit practices into a 30-day process focused on meaningful change.
But it's not just habit change and mindfulness. It's a space for honest reflection about the accelerating changes that are creating new and unpredictable challenges.
We address what is happening, how you're feeling, and your most natural ways to build personal resilience.
Client Testimonials:
For me, resilience and adaptation were a means of survival.
A difficult childhood and, later, surviving a car accident at 15 that killed four other teens, profoundly shaped me.
In the aftermath, someone introduced me to meditation. The meditation did not stick at the time, but mindfulness did.
I created a simple awareness practice to reconnect with life around me, and it changed everything.
Smiling through the pain in 1977.
I earned a degree in psychology and Asian Studies, and spent my senior year studying in nine Asian countries, focusing on Buddhist philosophy.
Over the past 50 years, I’ve explored many forms of mindfulness.
I have learned that traditional meditation is rarely the best fit for people who are overwhelmed, grieving, or exhausted.

Early Inspiration From Joanna Macy That Influenced the Development of Collapse Companioning™
My work has been influenced by Joanna Macy and her early “despair work" in the 90s, which evolved into The Work That Reconnects, blending deep ecology, systems thinking, and mindful awareness.
While Collapse Companioning™ is distinct from The Work That Reconnects, it shares a focus on mindful awareness, emotional honesty, and transforming eco-anxiety into meaningful action and connection.
As I was processing the deaths of three of my brothers (one of AIDS, two by suicide), I remembered my little mindfulness game that had helped me cope after the accident when I was 15.
I turned it into an eyes-wide-open, real-world mindfulness training program and game that inspired thousands of people in more than 100 countries
The First Collapse Companioning™ Clients As the COVID Pandemic Hit
I began offering Collapse Companioning™ in early 2020 as COVID spread across the world. Living under strict lockdown in Buenos Aires, I witnessed profound grief, isolation, and the struggle many faced in processing loss.
Through my nonprofit networks, I started supporting people overwhelmed by grief and their recognition of our failed systems.
By listening deeply and showing up consistently with care and presence, I developed the companioning process I use today.
While my work shares some common ground with Dr. Alan Wolfelt's companioning approach to grief, it focuses specifically on the grief, uncertainty, and disorientation that arise from awareness of the metacrisis.
I chose the marigold, a companion plant known for its protective qualities, as the symbol of this work.
30 Days of Daily Support, Encouragement, and Inspiration That Turn Despair Into Action

We interact daily for 30 consecutive days via:
🔸video sessions/messages

It is mostly asynchronous, giving you time to consider each question or prompt before responding.
