Hi everyone, I’m pleased to announce a new online short course I’ve created called Unlearning: For Change Agents.
The change could be social, political, or personal. The course lays out some basic concepts to assist the transition from a story of separation to a story of interbeing. It is a good introductory course that doesn’t require deep familiarity with my work. I intend it to be a potent way for people to get “unstuck” from unconscious habits of thinking and problem-solution templates. So often, the go-to solution is part of the problem. So often, we seek to answer questions that fit our customary response set, even if these may not be the right questions.
The course is part of a theme I will continue to develop over time: healing polarization in society, and its interpersonal and internal counterpart. Basically, foundational peace work.
Unlearning has four sessions, each with three video sections and a fourth session that invites you into a practice of “fasting.” Not from food, but from... well, I won’t give it away now, because you'll find out in this video. Per usual, the cost of the course is self-determined. You can choose zero and still be equally welcome. For real :).
The guideline is, pay whatever reflects your feeling of fairness, value, gratitude, and respects your financial means. The production of this course was a team effort. Jonathan Hiller recorded most of the video material. Kathryn Grant organized it into a rough course outline. Kyle and Lauren Buckley worked with her and got me to create and record the fasting practices. Laurie Young held all the moving parts together and made this an actual course on an actual website.
Sincerely, Charles
