2-day Empowered Humanity Theory: A Lever For Well-Being and Societal Cooperation

The intensifying chaos, division, and revolutionary violence we notice is the behavioral/psychological response to the current cultural zeitgeist. Human beings are not thriving with these frameworks and narratives. Therefore, we must examine with brutal honesty the ideas and practices society is engaging with. As Leaders in complex, challenging times that stretch all of us to operate at the edge of our capacity and competency, we must also ask; “What can be done to strengthen the best of our innate and common humanity?” and work towards those solutions.

Description:

This 2-day workshop addresses and explains the current philosophical divide and clashing worldviews in a mindful way. We’ll also discuss the impact it’s having on all personal well-being and our abilities to collaborate in effective ways. Once we’ve identified the source of societal chaos and human division, we’ll explore the Empowered Humanity Theory framework for life, leadership, and learning as a pragmatic guide to cultivating humanity’s most positive traits and motivations. The workshop is interactive and participants are invited to engage in self-reflection, peer discussions, mindfulness practices, community circles, and collaborative learning.

Connecting With and Caring For Our Whole Selves

This 1-day workshop is designed for those interested in increasing well-being and resiliency through a deeper exploration of “identity work”. The intent is to provide participants with a “day of care” to cultivate and promote personal well-being and connect with their whole selves. The workshop is experiential in nature with multiple opportunities to engage in a variety of mindfulness and self-care practices. Participants will leave with multiple strategies to increase well-being and resiliency.

Description: While this workshop is designed for participants to connect with themselves beyond the ideological determinations, we do not address the philosophical and ideological divide in this workshop. Our emphasis here is “self-care” and rejuvenation through reflective and experiential learning. We’ll use Empowered Humanity Theory as a framework for doing so. The workshop is interactive and participants are invited to engage in self-reflection, peer discussions, mindfulness practices, community circles, and collaborative learning.

Outcomes:

-Participants will establish value-centered identities and reconnect with their whole selves

-Participants will feel the physiological and psychological benefits of a day full of reflection, mindfulness, self-compassion, and community building activities
