4 SEASONS NEWSLETTER

Dear Trans4mers, Friends and Colleagues of TRANS4M!

Our shared Journey of “Co-Creating a World that’s a Home for Humanity” continues.

At the end of this eventful year, we thank you warmly for your support and collaboration. In this newsletter, we are pleased to share some of the main happenings of the past six months, and to invite you to mark your calendars to join us for a few events at Home for Humanity in 2020.

As you travel virtually with us around the world through the programmes presented in our newsletter, you will meet our collaborators and partners, especially in this period from Europe, Africa and the Middle East. In early 2020 we shall also have joint programmes with our partners in Asia and Latin America.

You will notice our increasing activities at our “living campus”, Home for Humanity, in the French Jura mountains, near Geneva. It is this local-global balance, between a vibrant center for integral development anchored in Home for Humanity, and the co-creation of integral solutions around the world, that we aspire to strengthen even further in the decade to come.

On that note, we invite you to mark three dates for 2020:

• 16/17 May 2020: The first HOME FOR HUMANITY WEEKEND, a transformative weekend for Change Agents to experience an integral journey of nature, culture, innovation and impact to evolve your unique contributions towards “Co-Creating a World that’s a Home for Humanity”. This event will take place annually on the weekend between the International Day of Living Together in Peace, 15 May, and the World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development, 21 May.

• 19/20 September 2020: Our annual TRANSFORMATION FESTIVAL @ HOME FOR HUMANITY, coinciding with International Peace Day. On that weekend you will experience the local-global integral work of TRANS4M and our sister organisation Theatre of Transformation Academy, led by Dr. Rama Mani. The 2020 Transformation Festival will be particularly special, as we shall have Marko Pogačnik from Slovenia, UNESCO Peace Artist and TRANS4M Global Wisdom Council member, inaugurating an Earth Healing art installation at Home for Humanity.

• 21/22 September 2020: Our annual TRANSF4RUM, a meeting of social innovators of the TRANS4M global community, who all actively apply the Integral Worlds approach in their pathbreaking organizations and communities worldwide. This interactive Forum is designed to share, strengthen and co-evolve their respective innovations towards our collective vision of “Co-Creating a World that’s a Home for Humanity”.

We hope you enjoy “journeying” through our recent events with our global partners, and we look forward to collaborating with you in our shared journeys of transformation in the coming decade.

Feel free to share this newsletter with your friends and colleagues, and do let us know your reflections and feedback.

With heartfelt greetings for a joyful festive season and for a trans4mative and regenerative 2020.
