CONSCIOUS SOCIAL CHANGE: DESIGN FRAMEWORK Consciousness and presence involves awareness, bringing all of your attention to whatever is happening right now—inside of yourself and outside of yourself. Conscious Social Change is the intersection of personal leadership, global citizenship, mindfulness and social entrepreneurship. It is an approach whereby leaders invest in their own self-understanding so that they may initiate social change mindfully with an understanding of how to embody the change they want to see in the world. It is a methodology whereby change agents leverage their own assets, gifts and passions to benefit the common good, while also honoring the wisdom and ideas of those they aim to serve. It employs design tools that ensure solutions are innovative, sustainable and impactful at the systemic and root level of a social issue. It is a process where continual inner and outer transformation strives to advance a whole, just and compassionate society. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f298d7b43c40f7d31559a11/1600114812449-7Y9T2NXQOAQR0FVUJV53/conscious+social+change+framework.jpg THE FRAMEWORK https://www.conscioussocialchange.com/inperson-workshops daily 0.75 2024-08-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f298d7b43c40f7d31559a11/1600885720649-F2ISGLUTMTG2UHK2VV4E/workshop-topics-image.png In-Person Workshops - Signature Workshop Topics From shorter webinars to weekend intensives, here are a few of our signature workshops.

Week 2: Becoming Whole: Learn the ways our unconscious patterns and biases can influence how we approach change, and deepen our understanding of deep transformation through our own examination. Week 3: Ensuring Balance: Consider our coping mechanisms for stress and build new capacities to inoculate ourselves against burnout for greater resilience and wellbeing. Week 4: Engaging Mindfully: Explore a taste of where mindfulness can be employed as a design tool for social change. Week 5: Leading from Within: Find inspiration and purpose for a new leadership ethos driven from within. The cost is $200-$300 sliding scale. The next course will take place on Mondays at 9am PT / 12pm ET or Tuesdays 5pm PT / 8pm ET. The course offers a reflective path a where we may consider our own wellbeing and purpose, invest in deeper inner work, and consider how we may contribute to the larger common good.
