This message is from Rukmini who attended the Caux Forum Dear all, some of you here joined the conversation on decolonisation yesterday. Thank you! I have attempted to capture our thoughts and also added some more in this document: https://docs.google.com/document/d/13GsSpR3EFRNSvKW42rRtFl0o3v-TfFRww0WGeZcvGTA/edit?usp=sharing At the moment it is a sort of a concept note. If the IDG Foundation is interested, we might be able to continue working on it as a collaborative working paper, perhaps. This group was created because several of you expressed the need to continue this conversation. We could also collectively figure where we want to take this ahead. Cheers, Rukmini

Hey there, I'm developing an app for post-secondary learners to link their Inner Development Goals (IDGs) with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through projects. There's a demo video below. The goal is two-fold: 1. develop adolescent/youth well-being from the inside out 2. accelerating SDG progress through actionable IDG practices Site for feedback: https://projects.marcushiggs.com/ Check out the demo: https://v0-project-spark-finder.vercel.app/ What features would you recommend for this app? Thanks for your feedback!

Hello dear IDG Community I come from a tiny remote area mountain community in Tasmania (Australia) embarking on preparedness for rapid change. This is taking us into all sorts of spaces such as fire ecology, food and water security, land management etc, but we are increasingly aware that our socio-emotional integrity and resilience is central to all else we do. As funding opportunities for preparedness are increasingly available to rural communities like ours, we are on the look out for in-situ workshop facilitators who could support us in growing our social cohesion in the light of change. I’m wondering if IDG practitioners exist in Australia who could help us with our project life through inner development training. I’d be so grateful for any direction (I don’t have LinkedIn, so websites, emails, phone numbers would be better contact details for me - or I’m happy to share my contact details for referrals). Warmest, liana

In the Global Practitioner Network we kicked off 2025 with a series of 3 discussions on personal agency. This illustration was put together from the collective intelligence that came out of our first session, thanks to @Joe McMartin @Daria Larsson Vella and @Manuela Pagani Larghi If you missed the session we invite you to reflect on these questions in this community, together: Think about one or 2 recent events and notice when your personal agency went up. Which IDGs skills we need to develop/activate in order to move up from not being acting with agency? and What are the conditions that facilitate this or not?

Dear Community, The IDG Foundation is undertaking a significant and inspiring mission to redefine the guiding principles of the IDG movement—principles that will serve as a foundation for how we advocate and integrate inner development for outer change. @Nadene Canning and I, as members of the Global Coordination Team for IDG Hubs and Networks (GCT), are deeply involved in this project, and we would love to hear your thoughts! Your input is highly appreciated as we work to co-create a shared foundation for the future. 💡 𝐖𝐞’𝐝 𝐋𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐈𝐧𝐩𝐮𝐭 𝐎𝐧: 1️⃣ What guiding principles do you believe are essential for fostering inner development that leads to meaningful outer impact? 2️⃣ Are there any frameworks or movements you know of with inspiring principles we should look to as benchmarks? ✨ 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐉𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐲 𝐀𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐝: - By May 2025, the project team aims to create a first draft of these principles, gathering ideas from the IDG community and beyond. - The draft will then be tested, refined, and finalized for an launch at the IDG Summit in October in Stockholm. This is your opportunity to help shape the future of the IDG movement and inspire global action. Let’s co-create a foundation that truly embodies our shared vision for inner and outer transformation. Drop your thoughts, ideas, and inspiration in the comments below! With warmth and gratitude, Sibylle Update 17. February The work on the IDG principles continues and is still an ongoing process.
