APPLYING the NEW COSMOLOGY
Module 2: Deeptime Leadership Program
Ten-week module: Jan. 10 – March 22, 2024
Two sections to accommodate different times zones!
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!
— Mary Evelyn Tucker, co-author and executive producer, Journey of the Universe; and director, Forum on Religion & Ecology
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 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.

The universe is continually increasing in differentiation, interiority and communion. In this module we explore how to apply Deeptime perspectives to different areas of life. How does this expanded view empower personal and cultural transformation in daily life? What does this model of the universe mean for innovative leadership, community renewal, and decision making? Leading experts from around the world will present case studies and examples of how they have applied these principles in leadership roles that have inspired and influenced thousands of people in all sizes of organizations. We’ll look at inspiring examples in the fields of law and governance; religious, spiritual, and cultural renewal; education and learning; and psychotherapy, healing work, and other fields.
You’ll have a chance to work with mentors in different areas including: current issues, institutional change, and movement building; religious and spiritual practice; therapy and healing; education; evolving culture through rituals and ceremonies; and indigenous and Ecozoic ways of knowing.
