Beyond Wealth – A Journey to Balance, Fulfilment & Joy
When do we have enough wealth? How can we best use our valuable resources to do an extraordinary amount of good? Might we actually enjoy a deep sense of purpose and fulfilment, both because we align our choices with the fact that there's never enough to bring us permanent security or contentment, and by knowing we are part of the solution?

Beyond Silence – The Power of Storytelling & Solidarity in Systemic Change
One story. Sometimes, that's all it takes to start a movement.
When Soma Sara shared her story about rape culture (or the normalizing of misogyny and sexual violence) in March 2020, she received an overwhelming response from others that also had a story to tell.
What started as an Instagram story is now Everyone’s Invited, a movement committed to exposing and eradicating rape culture. Since March 2021 over 15,000 anonymous testimonies have been submitted and shared, sparking both national and global conversations and action.

Climate – A New Playbook to Address The Crisis You Care About
The crisis you care about - whether it is climate change, biodiversity collapse, racism, inequality, poverty, pandemics or the erosion of democracy, is most likely so complex it can't be solved with policy or investments alone. Deep system change is rarely possible without massive public engagement.
In this session, Frederic Laloux shared key ingredients of a more powerful playbook, based on his and his team’s research into past movements, which successfully broke through fear and apathy, as well as recent insight from the psychology of social change.
Frederic had us experience a shortened version of The Week , his new project for mass mobilization to address the climate crisis, and will highlight along the way, transferable principles of a more powerful playbook for mass engagement

Beyond Divides – This Moment in the United States & the Possibility of an Economy for All
In the United States, we are living in a moment of division. Political, economic, cultural, ideological, geographical - these divides are exacerbated by inequality. In the case of Americans' economic wellbeing, decades of policy decisions and structural inequities are leaving certain groups dangerously far behind. How can we create an economy that brings people together instead of pushing them (further) apart? And how can philanthropy be part of this transformation?
