This workshop explores our personal relationship with the larger human journey as we make the transition to a new world. We will explore the current lifestage of the human family and the relevance of our own personal experience for understanding how to assist in this time of passage. We will also consider the unprecendented challenges ahead as 'adversity trends' (such as climate change) meet equally momentous 'opportunity trends' (such as the global communications revolution). We will then explore what we can do in our personal, professional, and civic lives to bring our true gifts to these pivotal times.
