We are excited to offer the Revolution of the Mind course in Nova Scotia as one of the first offerings of the New Earth Institute, which is an organization that is evoking new solutions to the pressing problems we are facing today through transformative, holistic educational processes.

In these critical times, we need new forms of leadership and a new generation of change agents who have a genuine appreciation for the inner and outer dimensions of healthy, sustainable transformation.

To this end, the "Revolution of the Mind" will introduce participants to revolutionary integral frameworks, processes and tools that have been developed by various leaders in systems change around the world. Through facilitated personal and group exploration of these models, they will come to life and will enable participants to apply what they have learned effectively in their respective fields. The course is based on integral, contemplative models of education and wisdom traditions. It will engage both 'inner' (personal, mental, spiritual) and 'outer' (cultural, social, environmental, economic) dimensions of beneficial personal and social transformation. The systems of knowledge and approaches usually applied to the challenges we face in the world will be complimented and enhanced through familiarization with the intelligence that comes through inquiry and redefining concepts. In short, this will be a process of learning how our every thought and action is an opportunity to impact the planet positively. The intention is to inspire new, holistic solutions and the leadership to address the most pressing ecological and social concerns of modern life.

The course will benefit individuals, organizations and communities seeking more holistic, integral and dynamic pathways to a bright and sustainable future. The fruit of the process for participants is a more integrated, personal sense of direction, purpose and vision in whatever field s/he is engaged in and committed to.

Revolution of the Mind will be delivered over 8 weekly 3-hour evening sessions. It will culminate in an optional weekend retreat on Nova Scotia’s beautiful South Shore.
