Join Tony Chambers in a thought-provoking conversation centered around the transformative shifts of power from the individual to societal levels. Explore how higher education shapes society’s core objectives and grapple with systemic challenges. We’ll take a close look at our role in driving systemic change and reshaping power dynamics.
In this interactive online event, you’ll collaborate with other curious participants to reflect on historical influences and how best to drive meaningful change. Through a methodical questioning process, we’ll dissect established norms and pave the way for healing and progress.
Uncover the unintended negative consequences of traditional notions of wholeness, mindfulness, and well-being, particularly within marginalized communities. Delve into the concept of compassion as a guiding principle for our discourse, and learn how educators are navigating trauma transfer, impacting personal growth and classroom interactions. Tony will share how it’s possible to nurture resilience—and a culture of belonging—through transformative learning and what he calls “practicing soulfulness.” Date: September 14, 2023
