We are in the midst of a fundamental shift in the collective consciousness. Rather than focusing on external status symbols, competition and lineal rationality, research from a wide variety of disciplines shows that qualities such as trust, collaboration, intuition, and empathy, formerly attributed to being feminine, are now seen as powerful tools to not only solve global issues and lead multi-national companies – but the key to living happier lives – for all of us.

This course is highly experiential and a mix of discussions, creative projects, and physical exercises that will awaken your intuitive sense of how the themes relate to your own life journey.
