COLLECTIVE WISDOM ACADEMY
http://collectivewisdomacademy.com/

Collective Wisdom Academy is an innovative learning community founded by a diverse group of professionals, including former pastoral leaders, therapists, chaplains, social entrepreneurs, artists, business consultants, and educators. The Academy brings together these varied perspectives within a spiritually inclusive framework that embraces universalist and trinitarian traditions whilst remaining open to diverse spiritual explorations without requiring adherence to specific doctrinal beliefs

Learning Ethos

At its core, the Academy operates through adult learning principles, positioning itself as a collaborative learning environment rather than a traditional educational or religious institution. In other words, our gatherings are more ‘Guide on the Side’, and less ‘Sage on the Stage.’

Learning is facilitated by experienced guides who bring at least five years of professional expertise in their fields, creating spaces where knowledge is co-created through shared experience and reflection. The Academy’s distinctive approach integrates therapeutic practices, business wisdom, artistic expression, and spiritual insight, all delivered through a flexible learning model that honors participants’ life experiences and supports their personal and professional growth. Through this approach, participants engage in transformative learning experiences that bridge practical application with spiritual exploration in a contemporary context.
