The Social Change final project was particularly impactful. I facilitated story circles exploring how practicing love supports transformation. The certificate program continues to inform my coaching, facilitation, and community presence.
The most impactful element was the teaching style, which allowed for unique freedom of expression through art, essays, community engagement, and music. It gave me the tools to express new ideas peacefully and share the human experience more deeply with my community and the world.
I’m greatly enjoying the course – not only for its incredibly engaging content, and my wonderful classmates, but for the coherent and intentional pedagogy which is challenging me to think about coherence between content and process. So happy I was able to join this semester!

The courses are both online and synchronous. Participants will be participating in a Zoom discussion each week for about two hours where there will be insights from the faculty and discussion with the group.
Each 16-week, 135-clock hour course will have readings, videos, and/or podcasts for each unit. Participants will post at least once a week in the forum on an aspect of the course materials with a question or comment, participate in a weekly Zoom discussion session, and do a final project of their choice.
