The world has achieved brilliance without wisdom, power without conscience. Ours is a world of nuclear giants and ethical infants.
The Human Venture is the on-going collective striving of our species to become more intelligent, compassionate, and just. It’s the real-world efforts of individuals and societies to understand and guide human evolution in ways that are wise and constructive, rather than harmful and destructive.
The Human Venture Institute and Human Venture Leadership work to create a globally networked, mutually supportive community of learners and practitioners who are applying Human Learning Ecology to address our world’s most significant challenges.
