What you'll learn

  • Express clearly the major differences between the views regarding a living universe and a non-living or dead universe
  • Describe your sense of personal and collective purpose from the perspective of each of the two, major views of the universe
  • Describe how we might live differently in a world that embraced a living universe perspective
  • Define the key skills that you see as essential, both personally and socially, for moving through this time of great transition and living in this new world
  • Describe your views for “vision,” “voice,” and “community” that will support the key skills you identified

Requirements

  • 15 modules with over 15 hours of course material and multiple-choice quizzes to help you integrate your learning - you can work through it at your leisure and find what is most relevant to you
  • You will need a decent internet connection and the software on your computer or mobile device to be able to watch video comfortably
  • Being familiar with a context involving people collaborating together to achieve a collective goal helps you to ground these ideas in a real context. That could be an organization, community or group that you are involved in

Description

This course puts you on the leading edge of thinking today and equips you to navigate our increasingly complex world with clarity, compassion and impact.

The course explores three, major questions:

  • First, where are we? Are we living within a living system—or a non-living system? Where does the evidence of science point? In what direction do the insights from wisdom traditions point?
  • Second, who are we if we assume we live in a living universe? What is the nature of our identity?
  • Third, where are we going? As we awaken into aliveness and a more spacious view of our identity, how does that inform our evolutionary journey?

The course is made up of 15 modules each with a core video from Duane Elgin and many other great resources. It should take you between 7-12 hours depending on the amount of extra resources you explore.

By the end of the course you should be able to:

  1. Express clearly the major differences between the views regarding a living universe and a non-living or dead universe.
  2. Describe your sense of personal and collective purpose from the perspective of each of the two, major views of the universe.
  3. Describe how we might live differently in a world that embraced a living universe perspective. How would that change your everyday life? For example: The work that you do? The ways in which corporations would operate, advertise, treat their employees and customers? The ways in which local governments invest their public resources—in education, health care, social justice, and more?
  4. Define the key skills that you see as essential, both personally and socially, for moving through this time of great transition and living in this new world? Describe your views for “vision,” “voice,” and “community” that will support these skills. Are there other competencies, both inner and outer, that have been left out?

Specialties: Speaking and consulting on: 1) global trends and the dynamics of great transition for the human journey; 2) sustainable ways of living, both personal and collective; 3) social media for social change; and 4) the meeting of science and spirituality.

Since 2010, I have been the executive director of the "Great Transition Stories" project that offer new narratives to guide us toward a sustainable and meaningful future. Collaborations are developing with colleges and online learning, diverse media organizations, green businesses, civic groups and more.

Author: THE LIVING UNIVERSE: Where Are We? Who Are We? Where Are We Going? (2009); PROMISE AHEAD: A Vision of Hope and Action for Humanity’s Future (Harper/Collins, 2000); AWAKENING EARTH: Exploring the Evolution of Human Culture and Consciousness (Morrow, 1993); and VOLUNTARY SIMPLICITY: Toward a Way of Life that is Outwardly Simple, Inwardly Rich (Harper/Collins, latest edition 2010, first ed. 1981). Co-authored (with Joseph Campbell and others) CHANGING IMAGES OF MAN (Pergamon, 1982).

Researcher: In the early 1970s, I worked as a senior social scientist with the think-tank SRI International, conducting research on the long-range future for government agencies such as the National Science Foundation and the President's Science Advisor, and private corporations such as the Ford Motor Co. Prior to that I worked as a senior social scientist with a joint Congressional-Presidential Commission on the American Future.

Speaker: I have given more than 300 keynotes and workshops to audiences ranging from business executives and civic groups to spiritual communities and college students.

Media Activist: Over the past 30 years, I have co-founded three trans-partisan non-profit organizations working for media accountability and an empowered democracy.

Education: I have an MBA from Wharton (1968) and an MA in economic history from the University of Pennsylvania (1969).
