Transformative change in the human experience will take time and requires comfort with starting over again - again and again. Considering this, we seek to partner with those willing to be bold and contemplative in their work for social change. In partnership with us, we invite all to freely dance in the grays* - embracing a posture of possibility as we design and implement pathways of new designs for culture.
*The concept of dancing in the grays is inspired by Dr. Joan Morgan.
CULTURAL STUDIES
Inspired by the cultural studies work of Stuart Hall, this approach considers the social construction of culture as a phenomenon that can be studied to deconstruct implications for human development.
INDWELL
To indwell is to be permanently present in soul and mind. This path informs how we navigate culture design, inviting a holistic approach to social change.
NARRATIVE CHANGE
A process of engaging our potential as meaning-making beings to embrace or shift the necessary stories - scripts, belief systems - that we have learned through formal and informal institutions to engage in paths of liberation.
SOCIAL HEALING
An interdisciplinary approach to explore the intersections of compassion, love, peace, and healing for social change. This lens holds the potential of the human capacity towards practices of healing within socio-cultural systems and interactions.
