Resilience, Adaptive Learning and Keeping Going

There are no two ways about it - adaptive learning and disciplined thinking and caring is a difficult journey. We begin to question the way we make sense of the world and the limits of our caring, thinking, acting and responsibility. Our questions change our sense of place in the world, our identities and our vision of what a good life is and how we have or haven't been building towards it.

If that weren't enough, this isn't just an intense personal process. We can more sharply see the limits of the systems and institutions that have shaped everyone and the implications for all of humanity. It can feel frightening and lonely sometimes it seems that no one else is questioning or striving in the same ways; or we can see that those who do question and strive pay severe consequences for their vision and leadership. Our families, our work, our communities, our species become implicated in our new questioning process as our horizons of understanding and caring change. Sometimes it can feel like we are in two worlds at once. The recognition of needless suffering, the unsustainable path we are on as a species, and all the barriers to growth appear so clearly and they seem immovable.

The good news? We aren't alone in this process, and we'll be less alone if more people dare to keep questioning and challenging our unhelpful conventions. We can build our resilience and tolerance and strive for understanding by continuing to learn about these barriers and how to navigate them. The disciplines for doing so are discoverable. This isn't just fancy language. They really are discoverable. The methods and techniques for interpreting and assessing situations and designing an adaptive path forward are learnable and we can be inspired by those who step into the challenge.

So although adaptive learning is hard, it is also a rewarding endeavour. It is liberating to know that growth and change, in ourselves and our communities, is possible. Barriers and challenges are part of the territory, but we can draw on the best of humanity to keep us going through difficult situations. The most resilient, caring, thoughtful and intelligent of our species can be drawn on to inspire us and to keep us learning.

Join Ken Low, Scott MacDougall, Natalie Muyres and Blythe Butler for a hands-on workshop designed to highlight the challenges and rewards of a life-long learning adventure, and to give you an existential boost!
