You Are Invited to Social Alchemy Lab
We live in a beautiful and challenging world. The culture we create shapes our wellbeing, family, and community life, and contributes to our changing climate. You are invited to co-explore what it takes to build a thriving culture that embraces diversities.
We live with many polarities and divisions in today’s world. Is it possible to embrace our differences and weave a radical sense of belonging? We trust it’s possible because it has been our practice in life.
Through relating, storytelling and embodied sense-making, we will explore alchemizing differences into empathy and shared understanding. We will weave in a sense of belonging that is earth-centered, and welcome a diverse range of perspectives essential to our ecosystem.
We offer this lab as a creative space to foster future collaborations with community members who share similar visions of bridging the divide, amplifying unity and harmony, and creating conditions for a thriving ecosystem of cultural perspectives and diversities.
In these labs, you will be
- Sharing stories, diverse perspectives, and interrelating in a microcosm of our shared community
- Gaining insight and tools into how we can alchemize differences into shared empathy and understanding
- Learning embodied skills to be present and even playful with uncertainty and unknown
- Developing an embodied sense of belonging and inclusiveness, rooted in citizenship with the planet.
