COME TAKE THIS VOYAGE with Dr. Jean Houston and her team of evocators who will lead participants in a deep exploration of the important shifts occurring inside and around us at this crucial evolutionary moment. Alaska is the ideal setting for this exploration, with its rich and dramatic marine and coastal environments, and its diverse cultural, historic, and indigenous communities.

AND IT IS A VOYAGE! Yes, we are going on a cruise! The inner passage journey begins in Seattle at the Seattle Unity Church on the evening of Wednesday, August 3rd through August 5th. Then we embark on the Holland America Alaska Explorer Cruise Saturday afternoon August 6th, returning to Seattle the following Saturday, August 13th. We will have shore time with activities in Juneau, Sitka, and Ketchikan, Alaska, and Victoria, British Columbia, as well as gorgeous views of Alaska’s mountains, forests, and glaciers.

This voyage is not for the faint hearted.  It will challenge you, pursue you, demand your presence and aliveness, and, ultimately, bring you the joy of soul-satisfying purpose. With your participation, we will create together a new story that will impel your life into higher levels of understanding, wisdom, creativity and collaborative action.

This summer's program combines Jean Houston's deep and enriching inner work with an exploration of the emerging stories in a variety of fields. New forms of health care, culture, governance, education, and spirituality are emerging across the planet, and social artists are part of this great re-genesis.

Yes, much is breaking down, and we want to be ahead of the shifts rather than swallowed up by them. Recognizing and cultivating this inner drive for personal and social change, we as social artists will participate in new beginnings, breakthroughs, re-patterning, and celebration.

Come learn how, learn why, learn where and when. You already know who. Or do you? Come and discover the social change, the systems change that belongs to you.

Find out how Social Artists have been making a difference around the world, inspiring change, and evoking new modes of leadership.

CONGRESS: Many initiatives came out of the first Congress last summer in Ashland, Oregon. Forty participants worked to create visions of online networks, support for teaching learning communities, spreading and advancing the training of Social Artists, and creating a welcoming environ­ment for diverse participants.
