The future we want and deserve isn’t something we’ll simply inherit. It is something we have to imagine and create together. When we learn to imagine new possibilities and create visions that help others see what’s possible, we build the imaginative muscle needed to create new worlds that repair ourselves, our relationships, our communities, and nature. In this 3-part workshop, participants will learn how to craft compelling visions for the future, develop their own visions for community repair and collective wellbeing, and examine real world examples to explore what makes a vision capable of inspiring collective action.
