Creating Transformative Cultures – 5 week Ecovillage Desing Education Course – CB included
2027-01-07 16:00 - 2027-02-11 13:00 (Europe/Zurich) | Schloss Glarisegg, Switzerland, Schloss Glarisegg, Steckborn, 8266, Switzerland
What does it take to create resilient projects that support a healthy, diverse and equitable future in a rapidly changing world?

How do I truly want to show up for myself and others in this precious moment of life?

Creating Transformative Cultures is an empowering individual and collective process of re-imagining our relationship with the world and ourselves in a time of unprecedented challenges.
The Ecovillage Design Education course is a five-week experiential laboratory, where you are encouraged to pose the questions most relevant in our times. You explore what it means to be alive on this beautiful but wounded planet. How to hold the complexity of a world in crisis. Within yourself and others. The course intends to empower and accompany you on your path.
We offer you a unique in-depth exploration and experience of community as a key element of the much needed transformations in our current eruptive times inspired by various approaches to social transformation, as well as over 20 years of experience of the Ecovillage Schloss Glarisegg, as a thriving community project.
Edward, the founder of CBI will guide an immersive 4-day community building workshop as part of this 5-week learning journey. Community Building will be on of the tools that you will practice as a temporary community, opening regular circle times to deepen and explore our social container.
Each year’s course is a novel experience, as the constellation of 40 – 50 people coming together from different parts of the world in this particular moment in time will bring up unique questions and topics to discover and learn from. You will be surrounded by people from all walks of life, ages, genders and backgrounds, open to imagine a regenerative way of being and acting with creativity and playfulness. Together you embark on a lively journey of collaboration. You experience the power of authenticity, of community and the art of connection – which are needed antidotes to polarisation, discrimination and separation. You will research and learn what it takes to be fully present, to co-create communities and projects, maintain them in a healthy way and overcome challenges together.

Ongoing meetings for everyone who wants to stick with it and continue to bring the art of encounters into everyday life.
You are welcome to take part in the regular circle if you have taken part in at least one workshop or community building skills training. And want to stick with it. Because that’s what it’s all about: continuing to practice community building and incorporating it into everyday life.
We come together in a circle – similar to the classic community building workshop – and follow Scott Peck’s discussion recommendations.
Please send us a short email if you would like to take part: servus@ammerseeinstitut.de or register via this link: https://www.ammerseeinstitut.de/event-details/monatlicher-cb-circle
Frequency/participation

Once a month
Commitment: We recommend regular participation, but it is also possible to come only now and then.
Anyone who has already taken part in a workshop or community building skills training or who has received an introduction can take part.

Length of time: 5 hours
Cost: Contribution to expenses, depending on financial possibilities, 30 – 50 euros
Workshop format

Essentially, the format is very similar to that of the community building workshop, i.e. there will mainly be time in a circle and the group will be based on Scott Peck’s discussion recommendations.
We try out different forms of accompaniment. In addition to the classic form, the “Group of all leaders” has proven successful – i.e. a process without a facilitator or only with very selective input
Depending on the wishes and needs of the group, we also include exercises from our method kit, the community building skills training.
