Embracing Wholeness In Diversity: Towards Thriving Human Futures

90-minute calls every Tuesday from Oct 10, 2023 through Dec 12, 2023

This course explores a future that embraces diversity in a way that can heal, liberate, and awaken our collective potential. In these challenging times, we often live with a confusing view that our differences are both insignificant and, at the same time, overpowering and unbridgeable. It is crucial to cultivate a deeper awareness and profound sense of our wholeness in and through our diversity. In this intimate 10-week learning experience, we will develop the capacities and skills to understand, engage with, and collaboratively shape a future that can both embrace and transcend the diversities of our experience as humans and as part of the living universe.

Cultural Responsiveness and Pluralism in Transformative Change with Guest Contributors Lynette Thorstensen & Sushant Shrestha

Session 6: Tuesday, April 5 , 2022

The Transformative Climate Advocacy Program is an online learning journey that explores the interior dimensions of people’s engagement with climate change—worldviews, beliefs, emotions, and mindsets. Including those of change-makers, ourselves, while also expanding and empowering us!

The program integrates theory, transformative practice, and application creating a community of change agents and opening up new inner and outer horizons.

Research in psychology and worldviews helps us understand not only what people believe about climate change but why they believe it and how they see themselves as agents of change (or not). Understanding this helps us to navigate values-based conflicts and design solutions that speak to the motivations of different communities.
