Sacred-Versities: Reimagining Learning Through the Cycles of Change | REC 5.0

How can we reimagine education with the cycles of change? As our world faces unprecedented environmental, technological, and social shifts, long-standing systems are being challenged, and the old ways of learning and knowing are no longer sufficient. This session explores how Sacred-Versities - educational initiatives rooted in ritual, community, and ancestral wisdom - can guide us through these cycles of change. Through stories of reclaiming rites of passage, men’s work, engagement with elders, organizational change work and sacred sites as living classrooms, the panel surfaces real life examples of how different people, in different contexts are invite the sacred into their communities, learning spaces and workplaces, showing why these practices are essential, now more than ever. This session features authors from the book sharing stories about Sacred-versities in different parts of the world and offering practical examples to help you bring the sacred more fully into your learning journey.
