These times are urgent. We must slow down.
The lessons of our interdependence are coming at us fast and furiously. As we navigate a wounded past and an uncertain future, we will need the depth of our courage and the breadth of our collective. CTZNWELL Institute is practice and action to explore how to meet this moment and show up for the future that we all deserve.
The world won’t change if we don’t.
CTZNWELL INSTITUTE is bringing together those of us who think we can and need to do better for ourselves, our communities and our society. It is a place for us to unlearn what no longer serves, build the skills and relationships that sustain the work over the long haul, and practice showing up with the awareness and accountability this moment demands
The world won’t change if we don’t. Embodying the change we wish to see requires that we practice it now: learning to build, grow, change, and govern together in real time.
Conspire means to breathe together. It is how we bear witness, build capacity and learn how to be together and work together across lines of difference towards our shared future.
Whole change takes all of us playing our part and doing what is needed to build the future that we all deserve. Together, we’ll explore how to show up with skill and courage.
Our wellbeing is bound.
We define wellbeing as the conditions through which ALL individuals can experience their full human potential. This calls us to lean into the systems that separate so that no one is left out. Wellbeing brings us back to ourselves, to what is important in our lives and to one another. It brings together disparate issues and exposes their intersections. And it unites us in mutual responsibility for the wellbeing of the whole.
This is why we gather in practice, build political muscle, and harness our collective power to confront systems of imbalance and create more possibilities for a future of wellbeing that works for everyone.
We understand that collective change is an inside-out job. It starts with everyday people showing up, reclaiming their power, and leading with accountability. To date, we've trained and resourced over 1000+ leaders in the practice of showing up differently: leading without reproducing the harm they're organizing against, building relationships that hold under pressure, and sustaining the work for the long haul instead of burning out.
This approach is rooted in the truth of our interdependence - that we are bound in our struggle and practice and we are bound in our wellbeing and liberation.
