We are facing crises on many fronts. For instance, our current health crisis, environmental threats, social and political unrest, and economic uncertainties, all can be daunting and challenging to the human spirit.
We see these threats as real and urgent. We also see them as true opportunities; calling human beings to a higher expression of imagining, collaborating and acting. These kinds of opportunities demand the changes in our societies that many of us have dreamed of for decades.
As facilitators of the iLumn8 Summit Suzanne and I are committed to calling forth collaborative communities that are in action for a higher purpose ... where the highest and best in each of us can be available and put to work!
The Imagining in Action Summit is THE place to ignite our imagining powers!
