Dear all, here is the recording of our second conversation in the Decolonising Inner Development series. Several of you were present - thank you! I have also attached a worksheet that may support you in processing the theme of the call further. Also here is the collective document that emerged during the breakout conversation in this session: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1we64_Qj2iLmnjI5gygnrudzcK20ffsbJzL09g79uLK4/edit?pli=1&tab=t.0#heading=h.2w5k0zrrcwjz And finally, my reflections after the conversation: https://medium.com/rukmini-iyer/decolonising-inner-development-reflections-from-session-2-f9d20972aae7 I hope to see you in Session 3!

Yesterday one of my Spanish connections told me about Hope - The Series https://hopetheseries.vhx.tv/, by Javier Pena Has any one here seen it? To me it sounds like it's more inclusive (17 countries covered) and focuses more on hope and positive stories. Specifically the last episode that says: This chapter highlights the critical role of indigenous communities and the urgent need to eradicate gender inequality to regenerate the planet and address the climate crisis. Would love to hear if anyone has seen it and what they thought

As a founder of this community I’m involved in an EU research project exploring resilience as a lived, daily, and processual practice, which asks how creativity might ground us, connect us, and equip us to imagine — and act on — more humane, inclusive, and future-ready systems. Key areas of exploration: -Learning from those who dare to stand outside the system -Creative thinking for ethical, inclusive systems in the AI age -Resilience as lived, human practice -Creativity, storytelling, and adaptive capacity -Economic and collaborative models for humane, preventive resilience If you’re interested AND have time to get involved.. Raise your hand 🙋🏻 in the comments (this week) and I’ll tell you more.

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
