“The transformative studies program is about possibility. Recognizing it. Harnessing it. Living in it.” – Carol Greenhouse, program founder and director
If you’re looking for something extraordinary—the best growth year of your life, a chance to advance your career or a way to contribute to the world—you should enroll in the new Transformative Studies Certificate Program before the early-bird rate ends Nov. 1.
DID YOU KNOW THAT THIS PROGRAM COMES WITH A 30-DAY MONEYBACK GUARANTEE—SO YOU CAN SIGN ON WITHOUT RISKING ANYTHING?
Here are two examples of workshops you’ll attend with cultural pioneers who now invite us to live differently:
Charles Eisenstein
A master. It’s not a typical professional title in our contemporary world. But it’s what a growing number of us want to be when we grow up. Wise. A leader. Spiritually evolved. And participating in a juicy role on the evolution of consciousness and culture. After years of work—some of it witnessed by the staff at The Intelligent Optimist—writer and speaker Charles Eisenstein is in such a role, and is coming to turn conventional ideas about how to earn such a place in the world on their heads.
Elisabet Sahtouris
Futurist Elizabet Sahtouris is putting out a call to women: Set your lives on fire with a combination of idea and implementation, conviction and action. Set our culture on fire. Blaze a trail beyond the conventional, accepted patterns of patriarchy and subordination. Love our world more than that and find it in you to give it better.
This course is about reaching out to aspects of yourself and your experiences you may have missed in your life because you may have mistakenly learned that it was not worth seeing, holding, contemplating.
“This course offers an alternative version of meaning—one in which you decide what is meaningful—through engaging presentations and exercises from experts in transformative practices, through thoughtful guidance from the program director, and through the sharing and caring created among community members.
I highly recommend this coursework to anyone who wonders and wanders, seeking the bigger part of themselves that they wish to experience and share.”
–Michael, a student in the 2014 course on spiritual healing and transformation
Through a state-of-the-art online learning platform, you’ll participate in telecasts and hands-on workshops with world-class faculty—the change makers and social visionaries of our time. You’ll have meaningful discussions and far-ranging debates with other students and a hand-picked mentor as well as 24/7 access to a library of resources. The course also offers a low-cost, high-impact coaching track, so you can share this work with the world.
Don’t miss out! Early bird pricing ends November 1.
