Progress and Collapse Evening Seminar - April 14th (5:30 to 8:30)
As we move into the next century, we clearly need a better understanding of what progress is and what it isn’t. By examining human achievement and failure, we can get a better sense of what is needed to move our communities and societies forward with wisdom. This webinar explores how and what we can learn from progress and collapse and how do we use that learning to guide our thinking and action.
Exploration of Freedom and Democracy Webinar - April 5th (12:00 to 1:00)
Many think freedom is being free from care, responsibility and strife. Many think democracy is a given in our country. As consumers, when we see the word “free”, we often think that there is no obligation for taking or using this free product or service. How has that thinking impacted our understanding of community? What is the link between our understanding of freedom and our responsibility in sustaining our democracy? What does it truly mean to be free?
VIDEO: Introduction to The Human Venture Webinar - March 28th (12:00 to 1:00)
The human venture is humanity’s effort to understand ourselves and our world. It is a combination of meaning making, imagination and conscience that enhances human potential for wise action. Drawing on human learning and development over time, across cultures and many fields of endeavor, we can identify what is needed to anticipate and prevent, detect and correct our mistakes and ignorance. How can the human venture journey deepen our understanding of ourselves, our society and our culture to build our adaptive capacity as we face 21st Century challenges and work to create a just world for today and the future?
