IfGIC Webinars 2019
Joanna Macy and Molly Young Brown explain that the Great Turning is happening simultaneously in three areas or dimensions that are mutually reinforcing and equally necessary. They identify these as:
- “Holding actions” to slow the damage to Earth and its beings;
- Analysis of structural causes and the creation of alternative institutions;
- A fundamental shift in worldview and values.
The primary focus of our work at the Institute for Global Integral Competence e.V. is on the third dimension of the Great Turning, which Joanna and Molly deem “the most basic.” They note that, in order to take root and survive, the alternative institutions created as part of the second dimension must be sourced in a worldview profoundly different from the one that created the industrial growth society. They see such a shift in human consciousness emerging in the grief that so many of us are feeling for a plundered world. In our new understandings from communication, ecology, physics, psychology, and other fields about what it means to be human on an animate planet; and in our deepening embrace of the mystical traditions of both indigenous and Western peoples. Rather than become something other-than-human or superhuman, we are summoned to become fully human. We must mature into people who are, first and foremost, citizens of Earth and residents of the universe. Truly cosmopolitan and our identity and core values must be recast accordingly. This kind of maturation entails a quantum leap beyond the stage of development in which the majority of people live today. And yet we must begin now to engender the future human.

Global Social Witnessing by Dr. Kazuma Matoba
Global Social Witnessing (GSW) is at its core the emergent human capacity to mindfully attend to global events with an embodied awareness, thereby creating an inner world space mirroring these events. As a practice of contemplative social cognition (Singer et al., 2015), GSW involves a sequence of micro-actions (Petitmengin et al., 2017): An active choice to pay attention to world events, to allow oneself to be affected by them, to become aware of phenomenal impressions on various levels (mental, emotional, somatic, relational…) and to attentively stay with these impressions and their unfolding within one’s awareness.

Listening for Peace by Dr. Anna Storck
“Nature has given us two ears, two eyes, and but one tongue-to the end that we should hear and see more than we speak.” In public discourse–Now More than Ever–we all need a reminder to listen more and talk less. This advice goes far back to a proverb attributed to Socrates who is still an inspiration and very much thought provoking to people of all ages today. If we listen and hear what is being offered, then anything in life can be our guide. Listen!
