THE LAB
HOW DO WE WANT TO EXIST?
Human beings have existed for thousands of years. Yet over the last 400-500 years of our existence we have done profound damage to the planet and each other. During this period we have created tremendous technological progress but have been unable to solve basic problems like violence, oppression, climate change, and economic inequality. To balance this relationship, as a species we must learn to exist differently.
To learn about how our programs support people, students, and organizations to exist differently, check out the video to the right.
