COMMUNITY RESILIENCE SERIES

LAYING THE FOUNDATIONS FOR CULTURAL HEALING

Six-part series, Wednesday evenings 7pm-9pm, March 8th - April 12th
 

This program draws upon ancient wisdom traditions to explore
each community member's role in the “more beautiful world we know is possible.”

Explore the skills of cultural healing and community design, develop your leadership capabilities, discover the power of ancestral wisdom. In this program, we combine cultural mentoring, community leadership principles and inner awareness to offer an experiential  seminar like few others.  We will explore archetypes of leadership, aspects of community design, and traditional wisdom to support the resilience of individuals and the communities.

Discover hidden aspects of leadership which are used by ancestral peoples and top performing modern day teams alike. Explore the eight shields model, a system of cultural mentoring used by over 100 communities across the world. This model is directly applicable to any community design work and it “crosses platforms” to support teams in any arena including work, home, and community settings.

In every community there is work to be done. In every nation, there are wounds to heal. In every heart there is the power to do it.
— Marianne Williamson
