Welcome to this online course which aims to develop our trauma awareness and to strengthen our sources of resilience and sensitivity so that we can build the future on more solid and compassionate foundations.

During this course, we aim to expand our awareness of our lives, organisations and societies to include those movements that take place below the surface and give rise to our every-day experience. Instead of being caught up in the symptoms, we will practice turning our gaze to the unseen layers and support each other to trace back the lines of creation to their origins. We will practice our capacity to offer the love and compassion needed to listen and see into places of social absencing, where energies are frozen and, finally, carefully channel the melting waters  back into a healthier flow. 

As change-makers, we long to learn from and integrate recurring patterns of polarisation and tension in our communities and workplaces and to find ways to express our love and service more genuinely and effectively. As leaders, we are called to raise our awareness of the multifaceted nature of trauma and understand its impact on us, our teams, and our work in the world.  Awareness is the first step in a cultural shift from trauma-inducing, to trauma-informed and, finally, trauma-integrating organisations.

Our learning aims are to leave the course with:

1. Tools for the cultivation of mindfulness and spaciousness in uncertain times – nurturing awareness, self-growth and compassion 
2. Tools and frameworks to refine our personal leadership purpose in alignment with the purpose of our organisations and our service to the world
3. An increased ability to engage more skilfully with team challenges, including the ability to recognise and respond more adequately to symptoms of stress and trauma
4. An increased capacity for Global Social Witnessing, becoming more holistically present to and learning from the environments our organisations serve
5. Leadership strategies for fluid organisational change in response to the complexity of a rapidly changing world  
6. Access to a global network of like-minded conscientious innovators and change-makers
