As the world experiences an era of unprecedented change, we are called upon to engage in purposeful action. We have the opportunity to deepen the skills, practices, and relationships needed to pivot our culture, governance, and systems towards collective thriving.
The Collective Acceleration learning community explores what is necessary to proactively move from patterns of conflict and collapse, to practices of interdependence and possibility.
Collective Acceleration creates the conditions for the kind of evolution that resets who we need to be.
It is an unprecedented opportunity to leap forward while connecting us toward mutuality, healing, and reconnection with who we are becoming.
If you’re seeking to deepen your understanding of collective acceleration, order Norma Wong’s book, “When No Thing Works: A Zen and Indigenous Perspective on Resilience, Shared Purpose, and Leadership in the Timeplace of Collapse."
