The Cloacina Collective

The Cloacina Collective is the home of a body of work devoted to the unseen.

It is a gathering place for those interested in the hidden labour that sustains people, leadership and systems — the work of maintenance, transformation and renewal that is essential, often unrecognised, and rarely resourced.

Through essays, frameworks, programs and scholarship pathways, the Collective explores how this invisible work shapes our lives and how, when it is brought into awareness, both individuals and communities are able to flourish.

This is not a social community in the conventional sense.
It is a shared field of inquiry, practice and contribution.

Cloacina

Cloacina is the Etruscan-Roman goddess of the sewer — guardian of the underground flows that keep the city alive.

Her domain is purification, integration and transformation:
the necessary processes that happen out of sight so that life above ground can function.

She is a powerful symbol for the work we do within ourselves and within our systems — the work that deals with what is hidden, discarded or unspoken, and turns it into the conditions for renewal.

Collective

From the Latin collectivus — that which is gathered together.

Here the Collective is not defined by numbers, but by shared orientation:
people drawn to depth, conscious leadership, shadow integration and purposeful living.

Some are readers.
Some are practitioners.
Some are clients.
All are engaging with the same question:

What becomes possible when the unseen work is recognised and supported?
