Unlocking Possibility Speaker Series 
Every crisis can be an invitation to dream. Even in uncertain moments, we are called to imagine better futures together: for ourselves, for our communities, and for our planet. In this series, we’ll be talking with leading thinker-practitioners about the art and practice of imagination: both how to create wide-open spaces for possibilities that others find impossible and what it looks like when our dreams become reality. Speakers include Dominique Christina, Rob Hopkins, Bill McKibben and Rev. Lennox Yearwood Jr. Click here to learn more and register.


Unlocking Possibility Co-Learning Community
Truly, there has never been a more urgent time for us to imagine new possibilities for the future. Thankfully, imagination is not a gift given to a few, but a discipline that can be practiced by all of us. If you’re intrigued by the possibilities of an intentionally imaginative frame for life, join us as well for a small group, praxis-based learning experience. Click here to learn more and register.
