Workshop: Governing With Love: A How-To Guide for Radical Public Servants
Bringing to life more loving and inclusive models for democracy is no easy task. It is a multi-generation endeavor that requires us to think and work in new ways.
The People’s Dreaming Collective is creating a new resource – Governing With Love: A How-To Guide for Radical Public Servants – that invites public sector leaders to unlock their imaginal potential. Join us in a dynamic session to test out and co-create tools for mindfulness, embodiment, and self-awareness designed to empower courageous changemakers who are transforming government bureaucracies.
This workshop is highly interactive. We will introduce participants to draft exercises – including (1) how to harness discomfort, outrage, and disappointment with the status quo as a compass to explore better ways of serving communities and (2) how engage in revolutionary dreaming, cultivate hope, and articulate audacious visions for the future.
During the workshop, participants will engage in self-reflection and journaling. Then, we will invite the group to reflect on their experiences and provide feedback on how they might use these practices in their work.
We believe reflection and dreaming are necessary to transform our governing bureaucracies toward more just and joyful paradigms. Join us in imagining and midwifing new forms of governance!
