Leading for the Deep Future . . .
There is nothing more critical than leadership for our moment of transition to a flourishing future. This course is indispensable for such a transition – thoughtful, comprehensive, and engaging. Sink in and be deeply transformed!

A New Way of Leading & Being
What kind of “leadership” in these times of great upheaval can help pave the way to a flourishing deep future? Seeing our place and role inside of deeptime, thinking long term with the whole in mind, and understanding the powers of Cosmogenesis are key. Systems-oriented, creative, and globally-oriented deeptime leaders can inspire and support this pivotal evolutionary moment.
We are created in order to evolve the cosmos. — Maria Montessori
Apply Four Big Ideas to Leadership & Empowerment . . .
- Context: Orienting to the whole, a vast evolving universe.
- Matrix: Understanding our embeddedness, and radical relatedness, in a participatory universe.
- Subjectivity: (self organization, interiority) is inherent in everything in a Cosmogenetic universe.
- Action: Birthing the Ecozoic as a process of co-creation with our planet Earth.

Awareness that the universe is more Cosmogenesis than cosmos might be the greatest change in human consciousness . . . since the awakening of the human mind . . . — Thomas Berry, The Great Work
. . . with the Ecozoic and . . .
Thomas Berry suggested the name “Ecozoic” to define an era where humans live with mutually enhancing relationships with each other . . . and with the whole Earth community. He considered the successful emergence of the Ecozoic Era as the Great Work of our time.
. . . Diversity, Equity & Inclusion as Our Omega Point.
When we understand our deeptime context, radical relationality, subjectivity of the whole and everything, and action as participating in evolution . . . everything changes. We are empowered to work with larger forces to make DEI a reality for humans and all species.

Whatever mysterious force that has been at work throughout all these years, has not gone to sleep or retired, just because we humans came along. All you have to do is to let your consciousness be flooded by that force and you will know what to do.

In the third module, we harvest the wisdom of the first two modules and apply it to personal and communal projects. Working with highly-skilled mentors and in peer supported pods, participants can synergize and accelerate the creative process of implementing their projects and sharing their passion with the world. Participants will learn innovative approaches to decision-making, emergent dialogue and leading from their own creative center while skillfully navigating diversity, adversity, and the uncertain terrain of the emerging future. Participants will also have the opportunity to share their projects with their peers and the larger course community.
