The GSW-Lab 2020 will provide a space where diverse perspectives/experiences from artists, scientists, spiritual practitioners, and political activists will inspire participants to better understand and embody global social witnessing in their mind, heart, and body. Throughout the lab, we will co-create new ideas, strategies, tools, and energy to help us become mature global citizens in our times of disruption and transformation.
The CMMi is co-sponsoring the GSW-Lab2020 with the Institute for Global Integral Competence (IfGIC) and members have a special discounted participation fee. Early bird registrations close October 31, 2019.
