Small Giants Academy is excited to host ‘Conversations with Extraordinary People’, a webinar series with the world's most extraordinary and leading thinkers. Together, we will explore the question “How might we reimagine our world to create the conditions for shared thriving for all humans and living things.

In this conversation, Small Giants Academy co-founder Berry Liberman will be chatting with our dear friend and long-term collaborator, Lydia Fairhall. Lydia is currently studying a masters of divinity, in formation for the priesthood and working in next economy space. Together, they will discuss the power of imagination and dreaming, reminding us that we are master creators, here to heal and enliven the world with our own unique gifts.

Join us for what is sure to be a rich discussion, integrating spirituality, Indigenous wisdom and modern philosophy.
