Will you join us as we explore new approaches to a collaborative future?
In the last year and a half, we’ve been locked down by the power of a microscopic virus carried in the air; seen the awakening of more citizens to the horror of systems of racism; and witnessed the devastating rage of heat, fire and water. What now? Gather with other people locally and connect globally as we show up, together, for this moment.
What is U.lab?
Right off the bat we should tell you that this is not a typical course. There's no expert at the top bestowing information. Our group will be learning and creating together in an emerging process.
U.lab is a global learning community for systems change based on the idea that “the success of an intervention depends on the interior condition of the intervenor.” U.lab has two components: an online learning platform and a weekly gathering called the Baltimore Hub. The online component introduces new skills. Together, in-person at the Baltimore Hub, we actually practice the new ways of looking, listening, and being that we learn online. Learn more about the U.lab philosophy here.
Why join?
This moment in time can feel overwhelming and urgent. Join others who want to take a new approach, rather than repeating old patterns. Whether you're interested in how to solve problems in your business or organization, address global and local issues, or are working on the family or personal level, there's a place for you. Some things you might get from the experience:
- Practice new ways of being in community
- Explore fresh ways to take action or make change
- Gain new ways of looking at old problems
- Connect with others locally
- Be part of a creative process
