Wise Leader Conversations
Solving problems together
Our communities need us to solve problems together. Let’s build bridges for change.
Host this meaningful and moving conversation with your community leaders designed to heal our distance, navigate challenges and transitions, forge meaningful connections, and emerge the future together.
In this conversation, align with your well-being and highest intentions while asking “what does our community need now?” Together we explore, connect and cross-pollinate our passion and purpose and weave together a larger interconnecting vision to meet needs.
By gathering together we pause to receive and integrate wisdom. In this conversation, we engage mindful activities, tools and practices to move in-rhythm. We pick game cards from Your Wise Moves™, to awaken and co-create greater potential.
Here’s an example: Six women leaders met on March 22, 2023 to explore upstream solutions for the over-arching mental health needs in our communities.
What do we wish to transform? What blocks us?
- Isolation, we need more community
- Distractions, we bounce
- Fear, scarcity mindset, victim mindset
- Polarizations/division, blaming others, “othering”
- Tribalism, elitism, more educated, experts having all the answers
How can we better support each other compassionately beyond systems?
- Bridge with each other, get out of stuck place
- Step-in, make mistakes, release judgements
- Break the patterns
- Focus on worthiness, care for those who fall through the gaps
- Very simply listen and hear, Love all up!
Four visions emerged, including:
1) Nourish NEW social norms and values to support change = Emerge organic, natural, sustainable, rooted solutions from ground-up. Allow, welcome resistance, open minds to embrace change. Flip Maslow’s hierarchy, see wholeness first, focus on worthiness and assets rather than deficits. Deconstruct, unlearn old systems. Move from “needs” to “wants” for thriving. Give it a VOICE; share in writings, podcasts, books and more.
2) Emerge collective through community conversations = Gather for conversations. Connect main arteries, gather groups and leaders together, engage all sectors, share stories like Human Library, ask better questions, practice Holy listening, meet people where they are, be present while holding clear intentions of wholeness and worthiness, tell story differently, not all trauma focused, embrace change together.
3) Bridge activities, weave together a NEW system = Build resources, braid together tools, techniques, orgs, groups. Empower people and develop capacities for listening, laughing, being curious, being centered, finding wisdom within, being spontaneous with ease and joy … to flow with river. Bridging activities can include nature, gardening, drumming, moving, dancing, humor for opening to primordial life force and present moment awareness.
4) Join leaders together to collaborate and support = Co-create and collaborate with balanced, wise leaders. Engage supportive funding, break patterns of patriarchy. Engage leaders who welcome humility, level playing field, suspend judgement, listen more, say less, and weave together connections.
