Re-imagining is a place for people who believe that the stories of the Modern world no longer sustain us, bringing us to brink of catastrophe – ecologically, economically, spiritually. Our troubles cannot be solved merely through technology, or even politics; rather, we need to re-imagine what it means to be human. We seek new stories, new poetics, new ideas – and we put our ideas and stories into action. This work requires the wisdom of those at the margins, and by those with the courage to imagine a new world. Click here to learn more.

The ReImagining Education Collective
At Wisdom Projects, Inc., we are constantly asking how we can create a community of care and a context for liberation in our learning spaces. As a part of this inquiry, we are extending an invitation to educators, thought leaders, and community activists to participate in the first cohort of the Reimagining Education Collective, a year-long program to share, learn, and create new ideas and practices to reimagine education for an age of new possibilities and peril, transformation and transition.
