Deepen your capacity for effective leadership. From the fields of science, psychology, politics and spirituality, discover advanced skills and approaches to revolutionize your work and create and sustain a solid foundation for systemic social change. As leaders, we often experience isolation, burnout, broken relationships, and organizations out of alignment with their missions. 
 
Gather with other leaders to imagine a new paradigm for activism and social change in the 21st century. Utilizing Otto Scharmers’ theory U process, participate in an interactive journey to explore questions at the heart of this new paradigm. 
  • How do we sustain individual leaders while facilitating systemic change? 
  • How do we access the deep riches of diverse leadership in authentic ways? 
  • What do we need to transform our divisive and emerging relationships into a solid foundation of social change? 
Use skill development modules, mindfulness practices, deep dialogue and creative reflection to sharpen personal and collective leadership capacities. Transform your relationships and leave reenergized, refocused, and newly hopeful about creating meaningful change.
