Your Personal Guide Through the Metacrisis

In today’s world, we face an unprecedented array of interconnected crises — a phenomenon often described as the metacrisis.

It’s called a “metacrisis” because it’s not just a collection of isolated problems, but an intricate web of challenges that compound and reinforce each other. Environmental degradation fuels political instability. Inequality worsens mental health issues. Technological disruption creates economic divides. Each crisis is tied to the others, creating a complex set of feedback loops that makes them difficult to solve in isolation. To truly address the metacrisis, we need a holistic, integrative approach that looks at both the big picture and our personal role within it.

In the face of these vast and interconnected challenges, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. It can be hard to see how individual actions make any difference when the problems seem so large. But here’s the key: none of us can see the entire metacrisis clearly. We each perceive only parts of it, shaped by our personal experiences, biases, fears, and projections.

This course helps you expand your sense-making, and shows you how your deepest purpose can help address both the personal and global dimensions of the metacrisis, recognizing that our greatest challenges are not really taking place “out there” in the world, but “in here” within each of our hearts and minds.

Because within this complex set of challenges lies a rare opportunity for each of us to play a unique role in shaping a better future.
