Unconventional Leadership

“The transformation challenge is to embody and inspire creative, conscious, compassionate citizenship and create systems which encourage community conversation with the future. This fresh, wholehearted view of life, leadership, and social construction will challenge and equip you to make a difference– in your family, community, and world.”

The Rev. Bliss W. Browne

Imagine-Nation Conference 2007

The Imagine-Nation Conference brings together adults and young people who are committed to having neighborhoods and communities work better for everyone. You don’t have to have any particular background or experience; the main prerequisite is that you’re a thinking and caring human being.

We use Appreciative Inquiry, Forum Theater and Open Space Technology as the main tools to train you to be more effective and work with others in your community. These are proven ways to include people from diverse backgrounds in the same project. You’ll learn by doing and the learning will be fun. You will leave each session empowered, connected, and ready to get to work.
