Courses Overview
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.
