Sutra

Tomorrow, Wednesday October 9th, we are hosting a special Sutra Showcase with a few of the creators from our ecosystem. They will share an overview of their work and how they use Sutra for their community learning programs. Even if you're completely new to Sutra or you've been with us for a long time, you'll likely discover something of value. Sutra is designed to support relational learning experiences that invite meaningful connection and conversation. Whether you’re launching a course, building a community, or working within an organization, Sutra offers you one place to organize content, save zoom recordings, and continue discussion between calls. It's a home for your program and a safe space for meaningful conversation.  To register and learn more: https://showcase.sutra.co 

Over the last four years we’ve been quietly iterating on a feature called interactive journeys. This is one of the most unique and popular features on Sutra and we’ve decided to make this the focus of our ongoing work. One of the biggest challenges with self paced courses is that they have very low engagement and completion. Over 97% of online courses don’t get completed and there’s no social dimension - no way for participants to learn from each other. With our new focus, we’re combining everything we’ve learned over the last decade of group facilitation with an AI engine that lets anyone create rich, conversational experiences that generate higher engagement, completion, and peer to peer connection. This Thursday, August 8th, we’re presenting a special Sutra Showcase where we’ll be unveiling more details about this feature and walking you through some example experiences.

The nature of a relational space is the way that it invites shared awareness. We come into a more conscious relationship with the full spectrum of our mental, emotional, and physical experience, together. One of the things that we realized ten years ago when we started working on Sutra, was that a well designed group learning experience offers a very practical context where people can practice new ways of being together. Whether you’re creating a course, building a community, or working on a project, you have an opportunity to bring people together in a way that invites presence, meaningful connection, and deep conversation. Doing this work online opens up entirely new opportunities for reach and impact. Tomorrow, Tuesday 2/26, we’re hosting a workshop where we’ll share some key insights we’ve distilled over the last decade of designing relational spaces online.

We’re really excited to be organizing on online event called the Transformational Learning Summit taking place January 29-31, 2024. Over the years we’ve had an opportunity to connect with some amazing leaders in the world of transformation. Now we’re excited to bring all these people together in one event that will hopefully offer you deep insight and inspiration. The panelists cover a broad spectrum of expertise from academia to practice, philosophy to psychology, racial equity to leadership, and even virtual reality to marketing and sales. Delivering transformation isn’t just about some specific process. It encompasses a whole universe of conditions, understandings, and things that have to happen in order to deliver that experience. If you’re delivering transformation, you’re likely also studying and selling transformation. That’s just the reality of being a transformational change maker in the world today. The event is free and you can see the list of speakers and register here: https://lnkd.in/e8JEX9NQ Please help us spread the word and share with your networks.

Next week, on 11/15, we're connecting with global leadership expert Eric Martin to explore his work with Adaptive Leadership. According to Eric, developing a new kind of leadership starts with a deeper look at ourselves. The last few years have revealed deep structural and systemic issues in our society. From equity issues to people's loss of trust in institutions. The need for a different approach to leadership is evident. Before tackling the adaptive challenges "out there" in our organizations or in our communities, we engage first with the challenges "in here". That is, the blind spots, assumptions, and undiscovered potential within ourselves. Eric has brought leadership development to over 300,000 people in 146 countries. His work extends the framework of Adaptive Leadership, a leadership practice developed at Harvard. Eric has been published in Fast Company, Stanford Social Innovation Review, Environmental Leader and the book, Your Leadership Moment. Eric’s work has been used to tackle structural barriers to transitioning to a low-carbon economy, improve health equity and access, and evolve the role of advanced technologies like blockchain in our daily lives. In this conversation we’ll delve into what leadership means today and approaches to teaching leadership, particularly online. Please join us at 12 pm EST on Wednesday, November 15th. You can register here: https://live.sutra.co.
