Social Entrepreneurs Passing the Baton – DY Suharya
2024-07-09 09:00 - 10:00 (Europe/London) | Karnataka
Succession planning is one thing, achieving the plan is another. In this webinar the Elders Council for Social Entrepreneurs will host a ‘fireside chat’ with DY Suharya, an incredible social entrepreneur who has built an organisation and become a thought leader in her field. Having created her organisation, Alzheimer’s Indonesia (ALZI), she will “always remain its founder” but she is keen to avoid ‘founders’ syndrome’ as she moves through her succession. DY will describe the practical steps she has already taken as she moves into the final stage of passing the baton. They’ll also discuss her passion for promoting succession and transition planning as a means of protecting the sustainability of the sector, setting an example for the 20 associations and organisations she works with as Regional Director of Alzheimer’s Disease International (ADI).

It’s one not to miss! Register: https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZEpd-ihqTsqGdOiAJr0XGklPLe_DdaDr-v4

Hearth Summit Nairobi
2024-07-18 - 2024-07-19 | Karnataka
Organized by Axum, Kenya is hosting the next regional Hearth Summit in Africa! Hearth Summit Nairobi will offer 300 changemakers a transformative space to examine wellbeing through a systems change lens — discussing the symbiotic relationship of the systems and practices that impact wellbeing at the individual, collective, and planetary levels.
The Summit will encourage changemakers to reflect critically on wellbeing through a uniquely Kenyan lens: how do local political, economic, judicial, and social structures enable or limit wellbeing? How do activities and rituals — from dietary choices to daily routines to cultural traditions to leadership styles — do the same? These conversations, united under a shared celebration of Kenyan culture, will invite changemakers to lay a roadmap for collective action for the wellbeing movement in Kenya.

Mental Health Collaboration Webinar: A Dive into Art Therapy
2024-08-07 15:00 - 16:00 (Europe/Paris) | Zoom
Mental Health Collaboration Webinar: A Dive into Art Therapy
7 August 2024 : 14:00 (BST) / 15:00 (CEST)
Art Therapy is a behavioral therapy that can be practiced independently or as a complement
to drug therapy. It involves outpatient sessions, which are more patient-friendly and less
stigmatizing than traditional hospital-based approaches. Art therapists collaborate with
psychologists, therapists, educators, and specialists from the cultural and artistic realms to
provide this form of therapy.
The Mental Health Collaboration’s webinar will include a quick introduction to understanding the tenets of Art Therapy, and it’s positive impact on mental health. This will be followed by a look into the effects of Art Therapy among two student populations- one concerned with suicidality and the other with drug and alcohol dependency.
Join Anna Mikosz, the President of The European Foundation For Art Therapy for this exciting talk!

2024-09-11 15:00 - 16:00 (Europe/Paris) | Virtual Event
Founder’s syndrome, it’s something no social entrepreneur wants to be associated with, but it’s an easy trap to fall into. So, we need to face it, understand it and be better equipped to avoid it.

Join as they have the hard conversation the sector needs to be having.

The Hearth Summit Philippines will engage 150 changemakers in an immersive three-day journey to build a world that nurtures the wellbeing of our communities and the planet. Wellbeing is at the heart of social change, and yet for many activists and organizations, self-care remains an elusive task that leads to exhaustion and burnout.
Join us as we define new levels of awareness about individual and collective wellbeing through the lens of traditional Philippine values. Changemakers will have the opportunity to learn from peers, colleagues and expert speakers on how to cultivate their direct relationship with the natural environment and explore intergenerational healing through the arts, music, workshops and rituals. Special attention will be given to creating safe indoor and outdoor spaces for rest, connection, and critical reflection throughout the Summit.
Nestled in the lush Central Visayas region of Siquijor, the Summit will leverage the island’s unique cultural heritage and natural landscapes. Once known as the mystical “Island of Fire”, Siquijor shares a rich history of traditional healing practices and environmental conservation. This is the ideal place to explore the indigenous ways of knowing and its overall impact on wellbeing.
Let us learn, discover, and connect around the Hearth together. We look forward to hosting you on this collective journey to wellbeing and social change in the Philippines!

Co-leadership: How Greenpeace UK Do It
2025-02-12 14:00 - 15:00 (Europe/London) | Karnataka
Leading an NGO can be lonely but what about co-leadership – how does that work? There are practical questions of how the responsibilities are shared but also how the trust and relationship is built and managed. We speak to Areeba Hamid about the successful model she and her co-leader are implementing at Greenpeace UK.

Areeba Hamid, Joint Executive Director at Greenpeace UK, will share the story of how she and Will McCallum decided to apply for the leadership role together, and how it works practically. Together they have tackled the huge responsibility of running the large and influential entity since their appointment in August 2022 – the first time this role has been held by two people. We’ll be asking, is this something other organisations could consider? Could it be the way forward in social entrepreneurs’ succession planning? Join us to learn and bring your thoughts and questions.

Join us for an engaging session featuring Dr. David Vago as part of the WHEN (Wellbeing in Higher Education Network at The Wellbeing Project) Contemplative Pedagogy Group Webinars.
Teaching from the Inside Out: Contemplative Tools for Strengthening Connection, Purpose, and Resilience in Higher Education.
Join Dr. David Vago for an interactive session that promises to explore the evolving landscape of contemplative education—its foundations, challenges, and promising future for both primary and higher education. In this interactive session, Dr. Vago will offer a broad overview of some of the pivotal research in contemplative education and how it both intersects with and differentiates from social-emotional learning (SEL). Drawing from his leadership with the International Society for Contemplative Research (ISCR) and its collaborative academic networks—including the Mind and Life Education Research Network, Flourishing Academic Network and the Contemplative Education Network—he’ll highlight some of the challenges that have attempted to bridge monastic traditions and modern science with contemporary pedagogy. The session will also provide some of the latest research findings from contemplative neuroscience that illustrate key mechanisms for self-transformation through meditation, yoga, and breathwork. With a focus on practical tools, shared reflection, and an open exchange of ideas, this session invites us to reimagine higher education as a pathway to deeper connection, purpose, and resilience in these uncertain times. We’ll close with key takeaways and a focus on how these ideas can be applied meaningfully in our work and lives.
Looking forward to seeing you there!

A Dialogue with Social Change Leaders and Collective Healers: How Can We Move Towards Healing systems?
2025-05-02 08:00 - 17:00 (America/New_York) | Collective Change Lab, United States
There is growing mainstream acceptance that trauma is a far more common part of the human experience than previously understood. Even so, a broader awareness of individual, intergenerational, and collective trauma has yet to permeate the mainstream discourse around social and environmental problem-solving. Join this special webinar series, co-hosted by The Wellbeing Project and the Collective Change Lab, to navigate the challenging but ultimately hopeful waters of trauma healing and systems change. This webinar series will explore questions such as:
– What can we see when we view trauma through a systems lens?
– How do layers of individual, intergenerational, and collective trauma act as powerful forces to be reckoned with in our present-day systems?
– How can we move from trauma-informed to healing-centered in our ways of working for systems change?

Reimagining Resilience: Sustaining Our Mission In A Changing World
2025-05-08 10:30 - 12:00 (Asia/Dubai) | Karnataka
The Spring team warmly invites you to join us for a free three-part webinar series designed to support you in navigating this moment by gaining deeper insights into today’s challenges and exploring alternative approaches to securing financial and organizational resilience.
Civil society groups across the world have historically confronted a multitude of pressures to defend human rights and civil liberties. Armed conflicts, economic volatility, technological disruption, plus the erosion of democracy and human rights by far-right forces are putting intense pressure on groups’ resources, time and energy. Shockwaves from the unprecedented scale and pace of cuts to foreign aid from USAID and European funders are reverberating through social and climate justice organizations. And leaders around the world are grappling with painful choices. As these intersecting challenges unfold, so do our efforts of collective sensemaking and strategizing.
The way forward may not be immediately clear, but history—and experience—tells us that pausing to share insights and learn from one another strengthens our capacity to act with wisdom and clarity. By gathering diverse perspectives, making sense of global shifts together, and uncovering creative possibilities, we can find opportunities even in crisis.
