Program Information

Introductory Wise Practices in Indigenous Leadership - Online

Overview

This online program renews our relationship with wise practices during a time of great change for humanity. We will activate community wisdom in action through case studies from our local and global interspace, deepen critical skills, reawaken gifts, and re-envision what leaders need in order to thrive, while living wholistically into responsibilities, inherent wellbeing, and abundance.

You will have the opportunity to bring the Wise Practice Indigenous Leadership model to life in your role and organization, while embarking on a personal and professional leadership journey. This program creates the space to regenerate and envision, while expanding roots of identity, knowledge, and cultural values within each person’s authentic leadership style. We will move from theory and practice into action with the guidance of Elders, land-based learning, hands-on case studies, culture, arts, and community dialogue.  

Wise Practices in Indigenous Leadership provides the opportunity to center, strengthen, and balance cultural and contemporary leadership competencies.
