Which choice will we make?
Three important questions will be addressed, the answers to which could shift our world:
|
An intimate dinner dialogue with Andrew Cohen and Dr Robin Wood, for EnlightenNext and Renaissance2 members and guests.
We will be talking about this great shift that is taking place globally, and enquiring deeply into the question: "Is It Just Me, or is Evolution Accelerating? Shifting the World through Conscious Evolution & Collective Intelligence?"
We will also be exploring how the second Renaissance world we are moving into is driven by new forms of collective intelligence and wisdom, and how individuals can work from their authentic selves to become part of this collectively intelligent enterprise that is shifting the world right now.
Humanity is facing a moment of unprecedented challenge, and unprecedented opportunity
As we awaken to the planetary crises facing us, more and more of us are awakening to our role as co-creators of the future. We're awakening to a new spirituality in which there is no longer any separation between the transformation of ourselves and the evolution of the world. At the heart of this awakening is the evolutionary impulse--the impulse to participate in the evolution of life, culture and consciousness itself.
This may be the most important event in human history. Those of us who rise to the call of our moment will have an opportunity to participate in the greatest transformation the world has ever known.
Join us as we explore what it means to participate in the leading edge of evolution.
- How do we affect conscious evolution?
- What is conscious evolution?
- What are the ways we can catalyze that in our lives, career, and organizations?
- How is the nature of evolution itself changing?
- How can we move from the personal to the collective forms of intelligence that are becoming possible today?
- What helps bring about intersubjective awakening? (trans-egoic ways of relating and engaging)

19.00 – 19.30 Meet for dinner which starts at 19.30

Renaissance2 Foundation
Renaissance2 is an accelerator of social, business and cultural innovation, co-created by leaders with deep experience of social change, scientific, technological and business innovation. We are registered as a not-for-profit organization and funded by donations, member subscriptions, event fees and publications.
The Mission of Renaissance2 is to accelerate open-source innovation between business design, the scientific and technology communities, governments and NGO’s to address the most challenging issues facing human civilization today.
Our strategic partners work together to shape the future design and direction of R2 through their participation in two major events and virtual collaboration between these events, using online tools including web-based video-conferencing and sophisticated online innovation forums. This model will evolve to serve as an ongoing open system of social, business and technological innovation for the next decade.
Andrew Cohen is the founder of EnlightenNext and editor-in-chief of EnlightenNext magazine (formerly What Is Enlightenment?). He is also spiritual mentor to a network of students around the world.
Since a powerful spiritual awakening transformed his life in 1986, Cohen has been dedicated to helping others in their quest for spiritual transformation. His message is characterized by its unique combination of evolutionary urgency and uplifting passion for human potential. Through his work with his students worldwide, he is striving to put the principles of this twenty-first-century philosophy into practice and, in doing so, to demonstrate the possibility of creating a new culture.
A visionary thinker, Cohen is widely recognized for his original contribution to the emerging field of evolutionary spirituality. Through his talks, intensive retreats, publications, and ongoing dialogues with leading philosophers, mystics, and activists, he is becoming a defining voice in an international alliance of individuals and organizations that are committed to the transformation of human consciousness and culture.
Cohen is author of Living Enlightenment: Evolution Beyond Ego, Embracing Heaven and Earth and Enlightenment Is a Secret. His forthcoming book, Evolutionary Enlightenment, is due for release in the spring of 2010.
Dr Robin Wood is recognized internationally as being in the vanguard of integral leaders, business advisors, authors and entrepreneurs in Europe. He is based in the South of France and London, and has lived and worked in over 30 countries on 4 continents. He has founded, developed and supported hundreds of organizations to realize their full potential in sustainable ways. For example, he co-developed the World Bank’s first Sustainable Energy policy in 1992, co-founded one of Europe’s first e-business incubators in 1999 at E&Y, consulted to the UK Cabinet Office on social capital in 2002 and contributed to the UN Year of Micro-credit strategy in 2005.
As Founding President of Renaissance2 Robin is responsible for the vision, strategy and design of Renaissance2, as well as leadership of the executive team that ensures the effective operation of the organization. He is also the author of several books including “The Great Shift: Catalyzing the Second Renaissance” and its companion guidebook with Linda- Lee Ratto: “LifeShift2020”, and the award winning book “Managing Complexity”. His dream is to co-create a flourishing global civilization in the next few decades through fresh perspectives, inspired connections and fruitful outcomes amongst and through the leaders and Transactivists of the future.
