THINK AND DO (MINDSET SHIFT) | COULD KINDNESS REGENERATE THE SYSTEM?

NOTE : This is a full day event.

New Zealand prime minister, Jacinda Harden, mentionned she wanted to focus NZ politics on Kindness, Empathy, and Well Being, and let go of GDP as an indicator of "national health".

Could an increase in kindness change the face of the system (and as the consequence the world)?

Could the change not come from the next big new idea or the next big solution, but as a "slight" change in our approach of life.

For this Think and Do (Mindset Shift), let's take time to go back to kindness and to playfully explore from the "I" the "me" - because it all starts with(in) ourselves.

>>>>>>MINDFUL EVENT ANSWERS - 15 spots <<<<<

This event is a workshop and is limited to 15 people.

If you register without committing to your answer, you take someone else's place and create deception for the organizers and the participants. Yes, we do care.

So please do not let a tool (mis)conduct your behavior ;)

>>>>>>>THINK AND DO (MINDSET SHIFT) <<<<<<<<

We believe The Curious and The Optimists have the capacity to tackle the cause of the problems (vs the symptoms) and create a viable system rooted on care and peace. Our mission is to activate that potential.

We also believe that citizenship is based on how we behave on a daily basis. Not only how we buy. But how we behave.

Our events are mainly collaborative & participative . They go from thinking to defining (creative) actions we can implement in our daily lives to influence and move this system. Mindfully.

THINK | to reflect, ask (ourselves) questions, listen to the diversities of approaches and listen to our emotions.It also offers a space to question and / or strengthen on WHY we do things the way we do them.

DO | thinking and reflecting - if necessary - is not enough nowadays.The second part will be about how we can (creatively) take actions to move the lines for ourselves - to start with - and on a larger scale.Or decide to not take action, mindfully.

>>>>>>>>>RULES OF THE HOUSE >>>>>>>>>>

We have very few group rules, but as for the organisation this ones are fundamental:

#1- ATTENDANCE POLICY: the size of the group is volontarily small so if you say "YES" on your RSVP, you show up. Or you update 24h in advance ON ALL PLATEFORMS. We basically ask you TO CHOSE to come and show you care. Be mindful; for the organizer and the other participants.

#2- THIS GROUP IS A-POLITICAL AND A-RELIGIOUS which mean you can come as your are. We operate in a space of curiosity, openness and care. It does not mean we will always agree or that we don't have point of views. And it's okey. But the event itself is an invitation to train to postpone and suspend judgement and ... listen.

#3 - BE CONSCIOUS AND INTENTIONAL AND OPEN ABOUT YOUR PARTICIPATION. Whatever your motivations to come and participate to this event, be clear on your intention and share it - meaning don't go under cover.

Because we're all in this together, right? ;)
