Pathfinder Program

How do we get better at adapting to the challenges that life is throwing at us?

From our personal lives, to the communities we engage with, to the plight of our species, we are facing unprecedented challenges. By digging deeper into the causes and effects, we can better prepare for what lies ahead. But it will take more than that. Our ability to fruitfully dig deeper is dependent on the framework for inquiry that we bring to the table.

Frameworks are conceptual structures humans use to make sense of the world, and which influence what we think, believe, value, and do. The evidence of waste, suffering and injustice in the world tells us that current frameworks relied upon by our species are not adequate. Through this program we will explore what it takes to support the development and mastery of the capacities needed in ourselves, groups, or societies to adapt and thrive. 

Program Outcomes

Through this program, you will:

• reconnect with a supportive learning community with a high level of co-responsibility;
• increase your understanding of the Human Venture meta-framework and how to apply it to understand the bigger picture of your life engagements;
• increase your personal resiliency and ability to influence the development of more resourceful, resilient, responsible, life-ranging people around you;
• increase your understanding of your own capabilities to design self-learning activities that challenge your mastery of learning.

What you get out of this program will be determined by what you put in. It takes courage and self-determination to engage in the messy business of constructing and re-constructing your own capacities.

Who is this program meant for?

This program is for alumni from the Leadership Calgary, Leadership Edmonton, Human Venture Introductory and Intensive programs, and Integrity Leadership programs who wish to re-ignite their learning.
