Blake Hestir
Description

Join TCU professor of philosophy and MBEI president Dr. Blake Hestir for an experiential workshop that explores the intersection of inner growth and sustainable regenerative living. Most sustainability initiatives focus on "outer sustainability," namely, innovation and investment in areas such as business and finance, public policy and law, education, technology, water management, agriculture, and fuel production.

The approach of "inner sustainability" or what is sometimes called "inner development" complements and amplifies outer sustainability initiatives by foregrounding the fundamental importance of exploring our values, background beliefs, worldviews, and associated cognitive, emotional, and behavioral capacities along with developing what Dr. Richard J. Davidson at the University of Wisconsin's Center for Healthy Minds calls the "skills of well-being."

These dimensions can serve as deep leverage points for personal and collective processes of growth that promote resilient leaders and communities, responsible innovation, and impactful collaboration to foster regenerative systems that flourish.
