CERTIFIED DEEPTIME LEADER DIRECTORY

The Deeptime Leadership program is a 9-month Certification program that cultivates Deeptime Leaders, individuals who have big picture perspective that is aligned with the well-being and benefit of their communities, ecosystems, and the entire Earth Community. Through this program they have developed the skills, perspectives, and practices to guide individuals, groups, and organizations into alignment with a larger sense of purpose and contribution. They have also honed their skills through developing and implementing a personal project that expresses their own contribution to a better world in their own unique way. We at the Deeptime Network fully support and recommend these Certificate recipients and invite you to be in touch with them about their work and their fields of interest.
