Sometimes our best efforts to solve group, organizational, societal, and systemic challenges result in unaffected, worsening, or temporarily resolved problems. We usually rely on individual analysis and strategic thinking using mainstream, institutional knowledge sources. What if we were to access the wealth of other types of knowledges in the world around us: aesthetic, intuitive, emotional, spiritual, relational, energetic, communal, lived experiential, embodied, etc.?There are a number of practices, both old and new, that explore these other types of knowledge by creating awareness and using intention to act. Join us as we explore the rich wisdom of our collective embodied knowledge in order to create social change by addressing a specific situation and crafting a strategic path forward.
