The Teachings of Disruption
Wisdom 2.0 2025
Dear Friends,
Life generally involves some level of disruption — and this is not all bad.
Most healing journeys begin with disruption.
People turn to a practice like Meditation not when life is easy, but when friction, turmoil, or uncertainty arise.
Imagine a life without any disruption? What would we learn? How would we build resilience?
AND … disruption can cause suffering. If we had the power, wouldn’t we all act to prevent the disruptions that led to the last World War, the genocides in Rwanda and Darfur, or the senseless violence in the Middle East? Without hesitation, we would.
So here is the great paradox:
How do we embrace the TEACHINGS OF DISRUPTION while working to prevent needless suffering?
I think this is our koan at this time. The age of disruption has started, and I do not sense it will pass soon.
More disruption is likely on the way. Climate change, AI, political changes …. We are just getting started.
Wisdom 2.0 2025 will focus on this question: What are the teachings of Disruption? Personally and globally?
Join us live in San Francisco May 5th and 6th. (today is the last day for early bird tickets) or join online.
I'm disappointed that this content is not being offered with a more modest price tag. The times we are living in need leaders like the ones you are featuring to support and encourage communities in the ways to not just survive this but to thrive and be examples of a new way of living and loving.
Will the conference be recorded?
