What do Practitioners Receive?
After signing up, you will receive a full weekend online training on Respond’s theories and methods. At the in-person retreat in August, you will be onboarded into the Respond network. We will help you connect Respond’s A Theory of Wisdom to your offerings. You will learn how to build a “full stack” Ecology of Practices based on Respond’s DIME method for wisdom training:
- 🗣 Dialogue: How do I communicate what’s happening?
- 💭 Imaginal: How do I play with my understanding of what’s happening?
- 🧘 Mindfulness: How do I step back to watch what’s happening?
- 💪 Embodiment: How do I sense into the felt experience of what’s happening?
You’ll also have a chance to connect with others, synergize your efforts, and launch a movement to recover wisdom within a scientific worldview.
Respond Provides:
- Plain and simple language to communicate about wisdom and wisdom training
- Access to our ever-evolving Meta-curriculum on wisdom training
- Mentors for developing and strengthening public offerings
- A peer to peer network of facilitators for feedback and collaboration
