There are 3 courses where you can explore different aspects of the cultural emergence toolkit. Each of the modules specifically dives deeper into one of the 3 phases of Cultural Emergence. These interlinked experiences nurture and deepen previous learning. After completing these modules you can continue onto an advanced facilitator and leadership training. There is a video below where Looby talks about the different courses here.  

These courses will be offered online and in person in 2025 & 2026.

Join us for our annual Cultural Emergence Gathering and connect with others on their journey. This gathering is a wonderful opportunity to connect with Looby Macnamara author of Cultural Emergence and others on their Cultural Emergence pathways.

This is a wonderful chance to gather in community before the end of the summer and celebrate our learning harvests of the year. We will have a chance to reflect on our individual journeys with Cultural Emergence as well as the collective movement that is growing. From this we will do some visioning and designing for our individual and collective next steps.

This gathering is open to anyone who has attended any of the Cultural Emergence course modules, ACE, CEED or PEACE, online or in person. This gathering is also to connect people who have been reading and learning Cultural Emergence.
