Personal transformation that ripples into professional practice
Navigate meaning, difference, and complexity in a world in crisis
Experience deep learning, meaningful dialogue, genuine connection
The Journey fosters four profound shifts
-
From unconscious to reflexive
Develop awareness of the assumptions and patterns shaping your perception and action
-
From threat response to learning stance
Stay open, curious, and grounded when encountering different perspectives
-
From separation to interconnection
Expand your sense of belonging within the larger web of life
-
From values-action gap to aligned living
Break through unconscious patterns keeping you from living your values
“We do not often take time to ponder the deepest questions in life, nor to dialogue about this with others. But as the crisis in our world deepens, it is becoming increasingly clear that only a complete revisioning of life and the world as we know it, will allow us to adequately respond to the challenges humanity faces.”
What You Will Experience
The Worldview Journey is a research-informed, transformative learning program that brings together powerful knowledge, deep dialogue, and experiential learning.
Seven Deep Dialogues
At the heart of this program lies a carefully designed sequence of deep, meaningful, humanizing dialogues — not debates or discussions, but guided encounters grounded in listening, curiosity, and shared inquiry.
- Five Stream-of-Consciousness dialogues (one per session)
- One worldview interview deeply exploring your meaning-making
- One duo-coaching session fostering breakthroughs in daily life
“I really enjoyed the worldview interview and the coaching; the real human-to-human communication and learning together. It was really exciting and life-changing.”
Research-Backed Learning Architecture
Developed in collaboration with Utrecht University and tested in academic contexts, the program follows a validated seven-step learning cycle that ensures insights are:
- Reflected on deeply
- Dialogued about meaningfully
- Embodied through experience
- Translated into practice
Experiential Practices
Learning happens through direct experience:
- Worldview self-assessment
- Peer worldview interview
- Guided nature walk
- Duo peer-coaching session
- Journaling, reflection, and dialogue exercises
The Four Journeys
The Worldview Journey unfolds through four interconnected learning journeys, each combining conceptual input, reflection, dialogue, and experiential practice.
1. Explore your Worldview — Gain perspective on your perspective
Develop worldview literacy: understand what worldviews are, why they matter, and which major worldviews shape our societies today. You will explore your own worldview—including its biographical roots and how it evolved over your life.
This journey helps you recognize the assumptions, values, and meaning-making patterns that shape how you interpret reality and orient yourself in the world, deepening self-awareness and laying the foundation for learning from difference.
2. Exchange your Worldview — Learn to learn from other perspectives
The focus shifts to dialogue and relationship. Learn why encounters with different worldviews often trigger identity threat, leading to defensiveness and polarization.
Through guided dialogical practices, including a worldview interview, you will cultivate a growth-oriented stance that makes it possible to remain open, curious, and grounded when engaging with perspectives very different from your own.
3. Expand your Worldview — Cultivate a planetary perspective
Explore the relationship between humans and the natural world, including through a guided nature walk. Reflect on your own relationship with nature and examine how different worldviews shape responses to ecological and planetary challenges.
This journey invites you to see yourself, your worldview, and your role within a larger, more interconnected and meaningful context, expanding your sense of belonging and responsibility.
4. Express your Worldview — Put your perspective into practice
Focus on embodiment and action. Learn about psychological immunity to change and understand why it is often difficult to live in alignment with our values (the value-action gap).
In a duo-coaching session, gain insight into how unconscious protective mechanisms keep you stuck in old patterns, supporting you to make progress in your work, relationships, or daily life — enhancing integrity, agency, and meaningful contribution.
What you may gain
Through the combination of reflection, knowledge transmission, dialogue, and practice, participants often experience profound shifts that show up not only as new insights, but as subtle changes in how they listen, speak, decide, and act in everyday life.
Personal Transformation
- Deeper understanding of your own worldview and how it shapes perception and action
- More clarity and inner orientation in times of uncertainty and complexity
- Stronger sense of coherence and alignment between values and practice
- Support for personal growth grounded in lived experience
Relational Capacity
- Greater capacity for perspective-taking, especially across difference and disagreement
- New ways of relating and communicating that foster trust and understanding
- Ability to stay grounded when encountering threatening perspectives
- Skills that build bridges in organizations, communities, movements
Collective Wisdom
- Insight into collective and societal dynamics
- Understanding of why worldviews clash and how transformation becomes possible
- Ability to recognize worldview dynamics in conflicts and make more nuanced decisions
- Capacity for more skillful, compassionate engagement with complexity
Who This Journey Is For
This program is for anyone seeking to navigate our complex times with greater wisdom, clarity, and integrity. No prior background is required — only curiosity, openness, and a willingness to engage. This program is for you if:
- You feel overwhelmed by the complexity of our times and want deeper capacities to navigate it;
- You want to engage across difference more skillfully;
- You sense your own assumptions and reactive patterns may be limiting you;
- You want greater alignment between your values and how you live and work;
- You are drawn to learning that integrates knowledge, experience, reflection, and dialogue (head, heart, and hands);
- You seek authentic community with others committed to growth and wisdom in service of a thriving world.
What This Program Is (and Is Not)
This is a personal transformation journey — designed to help you experience and deepen the four shifts in yourself. It is not a professional facilitator training. That said, these shifts naturally inform how you work and lead. Participants often find themselves:
- Recognizing worldview dynamics in conflicts and making more nuanced decisions;
- Engaging across difference with less reactivity and more skill;
- Leading with greater clarity about their own values and blind spots;
- Building bridges in their organizations, communities, or movements;
- Staying grounded and purposeful amid overwhelming challenges.
Whether you are in healthcare, education, sustainability, leadership, coaching, or any field dealing with complexity or polarization — these shifts create capacity for more skillful, compassionate engagement.
For Future Facilitators: Our recent facilitator training cohort is already adapting worldview work into university courses, healthcare programs, church settings, and sustainability initiatives. If you’re interested in professionally using or facilitating this work yourself, this program is the essential foundation — it is a prerequisite for future facilitator trainings.
