Engaging our Differences: Practice and Presence
Tweet Share
In this interactive workshop we’ll experience Whole Communities’ innovative approach to creating transformative change in ourselves, our organizations and our communities. We’ll engage in embodied awareness and storytelling practices deeply informed by systems thinking, neuroscience, and cutting-edge approaches to ecology and human behavior. This experiential session is designed to help us bring theory into practice and to cultivate our capacity to stay in relationship across difference in these intensely divisive, polarized times. Facilitated by Center for Whole Communities’ Senior Fellow Samara Gaev and Co-Directors Mohamad Chakaki and Ginny McGinn.
