“Towards a Thinking that is Alive as its Subject Matter”

We are privileged to host Craig Holdrege and Henrike Holdrege of The Nature Institute to participate and teach in three separate processes. While each process is different, each will attempt to bring our social and ecological strivings together within the broad framing of a Goethean phenomenology, deepening our practice and our thinking towards a genuinely holistic and living response to our world. This time at Towerland and in Cape Town promises to be a rare gift for all who participate.

“Eventually Wild – Practices at the Threshold”
Leading into an unknowable future

Wild is a state of being, carried through our own intentions, to be able to range beyond limits, to cross thresholds, inner and outer. In our working lives, we may become so defined by outer circumstance that we fail to lead into the new. Eventually Wild is a 6-day workshop offering you the opportunity to expand your perceptions of what the world is calling from you now as a leader in your field. The workshop is offered as a collaboration between Sue Davidoff, Chris Seeley, Allan Kaplan, and Rob McNeer.

   “The worst is, that all the thinking in the world does not bring us to thought; we must be right by nature, so that good thoughts may come before us like free children of God, and cry 'Here we are'.”
