WEST
What is Kalapa?
Kalapa is an empowerment curriculum and developmental pathway, for Positive Change Agents, organized along the 8 directions of the compass. Each direction has a core competency and one or more best practices.
These practices are the most effective we have found for creating harmony within yourself, with others, and with the Earth.
You do not need to master all 8 areas! The promise is that if you achieve basic competency in 3 of the 8, this will significantly up-level your ability to make a difference.
What is the West in Kalapa?
Core Competency:
Growing and Sustaining Community Effectively
Best Practices:
This part of the Kalapa curriculum has dozens of best practices in a variety of areas all of which fit into the West.
Our various “tracks” in the West — and some examples of modalities within them — include:
- Facilitation and Group Work including Teaching and Training (Dynamic Facilitation, Holacracy)
- Mediation, and Conflict Prevention and Resolution (Dispute Resolution Center methodology, NVC)
- Restorative and Transformative Justice (Restorative Circles)
- Sexuality and Relationships (the evolving context and nature for relationships, Network for a New Culture,Tantra)
- Expressive Arts (music, theater, art)
- Building and Sustaining Community (Authentic Relating, ZEGG Forum)
Each of these tracks is composed of multiple modalities and methodologies.
Why
One of the greatest losses of modern times is our decreased sense of community and belonging.
Learning how to live cooperatively, work well in teams, and be in harmony with each other involve skills that we have the opportunity to learn or re-learn.
One of the greatest advantages of our time is access to so many different techniques, processes, and modalities which can help us live our best life together.
We evolved to thrive in small, close-knit groups.
When you are able to build and sustain community as well as work well in groups, you enjoy your life more, achieve a sense of well-being that comes with belonging, you both learn and contribute more than when you work alone, and you get a lot more done in a more enjoyable way.
What If
Imagine having more of a sense of community, teamwork, belonging…
Imagine meetings which are both productive and connecting, after which you feel more energized than when you started.
Imagine having the tools, skills, and people resources so that you always knew what to do when an upset arose…
