Circles of Wisdom
This year, CCC will be initiating its inaugural Circles of Wisdom. The Circles involve key organizations and change leaders that are currently utilizing personal transformation, inner work or inner wellbeing practices as a core component of their signature social impact work - not just as an internal program for employee wellbeing, but applied in the program delivery model or approach within society / integral to the organization’s work in the world.
The purpose of the Circles is to explore the question: What wisdom do we have between us about how inner work contributes to systemic social change? Through a series of dialogues over the next 6-12 months, we will be exploring:
What do we observe and understand about the linkages between inner work and social change? (e.g., anecdotal, theoretical, quantitatively measured, qualitatively understood)
What best practices do we have in common? (e.g., inner work practices, methodology, ways of seeing and addressing issues and building solutions, how we lead)
What common values do we all embrace?
What do our theories of change have in common?
What future research and collaboration opportunities exist?
Consolidating our understanding about the pathways of how inner work affects people and unfolds into influencing systemic social change
Written articles with profiles or case studies
Developing and testing instruments for measuring inner wellbeing and its social impact
A collectively-designed set of principles or values and resources (tools, key studies) that can serve as guidance for other organizations interested in investing more intentionally in this intersection
Practice sharing among members
