Integral Parenting: Foundation for a Sane Future

Parenting is a form of in-depth long-term activism. When we truly understand that the foundations for human life and relationship are laid in the early years of a person’s life, we have every reason to put our care, our attention and intention toward this central phase of human development. Transforming how we parent is one of the most effective ways to change culture and society. In order to do so, we must begin with ourselves, for we parent as we are — our instrument in parenting is indeed our Self.
In this presentation that includes both reflective as well as interactive elements, we will explore how we are collectively parenting our future. What capacities do our children need to navigate the world as it is unfolding? In turn, what capacities do we need to develop and practice so that, together, we can co-create a sane future?
