One Humanity Lab Innovation Circle: Crafting Your Inner Map for a New Path Forward
One Humanity Lab Innovation Circle
Crafting your inner map for a new path forward
What can you do when nothing seems to work? You come to your senses.
The One Humanity Innovation Circle is a six-session journey within the One Humanity Lab — a global space for experimenting with wholeness-based leadership and human renewal. Designed for those deeply impacted by changes in government structures, and for anyone navigating transition when traditional routes no longer fit, this program opens new doorways into clarity, coherence, and creative spark.
Drawing on the wisdom of the senses — smell, sight, sound, taste, touch, and intuition — each session becomes a threshold into remembering who you are and what you bring. Through somatic practice, creative experimentation, and community dialogue, every step becomes a prototype of your future self.
This is not an abstract reflection. It is a practical and creative process of aligning inner clarity with outward expression. By working from coherence — even in moments of disruption — you create the conditions for a new story, a new path, and a renewed way of leading.
By the end of the Circle, you will hold a Signature One-Pager: a soul map and authentic call that reflects your essence, your gifts, and the future you are ready to embody and share.
The Innovation Circle is a laboratory of inner prototyping — rapid, creative, and deeply human.
- Who Should Attend
This program is for individuals who have been deeply affected by changes within government structures and are seeking clarity and renewal as they navigate these changes. It is for those who wish to deepen their self-awareness, awaken innovation, and approach challenges with a creative and grounded perspective. It is also for those curious about innovating new ways of leading, rooted in connection with the whole of life. This Circle also offers an opportunity for those interested in exploring coaching as a career to learn foundational practices and inquiry techniques that can support a coaching path.
