How can enhancing your visual thinking skills help you to refine your craft as a designer and facilitator of systemic change? How can you apply creative methods and tools to individual change work and/or group processes? How can helping individuals and groups to see their ideas, thoughts and dialogue in pictures greatly influence the dynamics at play?

No prior experience necessary! Art skills are useful, but not necessary. You will need to bring a willingness to listen deeply and a desire to think systemically; at the core of it all lies a hunger for play and creative engagement.

New American Dream Video: Visualizing a Plenitude Economy

This 5-minute time-lapse video provides a vision of what a post-consumer society could look like, with people working fewer hours and pursuing re-skilling, homesteading, and small-scale enterprises that can help reduce the overall size and impact of the consumer economy.

The video is narrated by economist and bestselling author Juliet Schor, based on her book Plenitude: The New Economics of True Wealth.

Read more about Schor's vision for a Plenitude economy on her website.
