The ground underneath our feet is shaking, the future seems to become less and less predictable – be it in academia or beyond. How can we deal with it and still feel safe if our usual methods of planning and managing don’t work that well anymore?
In this practical workshop we will explore proven strategies and attitudes that carry us through spaces of not knowing, ambiguity and uncertainty. We will touch on Daoism, philosophy, indigenous wisdom and bodywork because we need to be able to use all our capacities – our intellectual, emotional and physical – to move confidently through uncertainty.
