Looking at the multi-level crisis that we are in as humanity, have you ever wondered why history keeps repeating itself, why we find ourselves facing with social, cultural and ecological collapses again and again, and why it seems we're stuck in noxious cycles?

Come join us in a conversation that unpacks the pattern of beliefs (or disbeliefs) behind our inherited worldviews that keeps us in the cycles of trauma, disconnection and disruption.

Kai Sawyer - guided by Vinoba Bhave's "moved by love" philosophy - will share with us his journey with the topic and how he has moved from "doing activism" to "being peace".

This is a live webinar within the Cultural Dimension of the REGEN-Nations learning programme - read more about how to join the full dimension here.
