Sample offerings include:
‘All 8 Billion of Us’: Understand the neuroscience of how unconscious bias works on us all and how to effectively address the unhelpful aspects of this very human process. Apply key de-biasing practices to your work to help you practically shift toward seeing, lifting up and being guided by the bounty found in historically excluded groups of people.
‘Courageous Conversations’: Have you ever noticed how individuals or groups can lose steam on their mission because it doesn’t feel safe enough to surface the tensions or name what’s really at play? Learn how your brain protects you from perceived and real threats and how to act on your values in the face of fear.
‘What’s Mine To Do?’: Explore how versions of the things we wish to change ‘out there’ in the world often manifest ‘in here’, in our psyches and practices. Learn how to re-connect the dots between the individual, interpersonal and institutional realms in order to: (1) identify and compost oppressive tendencies and (2) design for practices and policies that center love, fairness and deep regard.
‘If You Had It All Your Way’: Blue sky thinking is not magical thinking. Explore how grounding in, and frequently returning to, our visions for the future allows us to connect to the hopefulness that has fueled our strategic efforts and movements over space and time. Use personal and collective Blue Sky thinking in concert with practical concerns and material conditions to stay invigorated, focused and creatively stretched beyond our conditioned imagination.
