Rebel Wisdom Community Sessions

We have several regular community calls, and many special one-off events. Some are oriented towards discussing cultural topics, others are more focused on developing skills around leadership, facilitation or communication.

Explorer Members are welcome to most of the official Rebel Wisdom calls, and Sensemakers are also invited to all, including our regular Wednesday sessions, the Q&A and Wisdom Gym.

Live Sensemaking!
(Explorers & Sensemakers)

(Monday: 8pm UK / 3pm EST / 12pm PST)

On this call we discuss a current cultural or political topic, using many of the skills we talk about on the channel, such as mindfulness, curiosity and the pursuit of multiple perspectives. It is an exercise to make sense of a topic together, and meet others at a deeper level than the purely intellectual.

Academy Sessions
(Explorers & Sensemakers)

(Usually Tues/Thurs - 8pm UK / 3pm EST / 12pm PST)

Our Academy Sessions are all about developing the skills we talk about on the channel. Once or twice per week we welcome a skilled facilitator to teach skills of leadership, facilitation and communication. These Academy sessions are designed to help our members increase their skills, develop emotional intelligence and to be more comfortable leading their own sessions.
