Reimagining Capitalism in a World on Fire with Rebecca Henderson Garrison Institute 2023-03-10 | Join Pathways to Planetary Health for a conversation with Rebecca Henderson, Harvard University economics professor, and Jonathan F.P. Rose, as they discuss the failings of modern capitalism and how businesses imbued with a sense of purpose can help create more sustainable, ethical economies powered by motivated and dignified personnel.Henderson observes that capitalism is the most successful economic system in history, and yet it’s in danger of destroying itself - and our world. Purpose can help. Cutting-edge research has found that firms that view profits as a means to an end, rather than as an end it itself – and who view their mission as the creation of social value – are often significantly more productive and creative than more conventional firms. They can also be powerful allies in driving the social and political change that is needed if we are to address the great problems of our time.This interactive online event is part of a continuing series in the Garrison Institute’s Forum on Pathways to Planetary Health (PPH). Building on the Garrison Institute’s earlier Climate, Mind and Behavior (CMB) program, Pathways to Planetary Health explores the moral, ethical, and human behavioral dimensions of the search for regenerative solutions, including Half-Earth, Ecological Civilization, Regenerative Economics, and Societal Altruism.Learn more about Pathways to Planetary Health here: garrisoninstitute.org/initiatives/programs/pathways-to-planetary-health-2Support the work of the Garrison Institute here: pages.elevate.salesforce.org/garrisoninstitute/garrison-institute-donations

Garrison Institute Fellowship Program: 2020 - 2022 Garrison Institute 2022-09-16 | Established in 2020, the Garrison Institute Fellowship embraces the emergent nature of our times. Widespread socio-political discord, an escalating global pandemic, the ongoing environmental crisis, and socioeconomic precarity have created an inflection point fraught with collective anxiety and the potential for new leadership paradigms. In response, an emerging field of organizations and networks are applying contemplative wisdom to catalyze healing and action. The transformative change at the core of their work will benefit from visionary leadership that will invigorate our collective imagination and help us to harness the practical skills needed to navigate our turbulent times. In concert with our signature initiatives in Contemplative-Based Resilience, Pathways to Planetary Health, and Compassionate Leadership, the Garrison Institute Fellowship is a contemplative-based leadership training program grounded by four core pillars: awareness-based contemplative wisdom, the science of interconnection, generative action, and collective healing. The inaugural cohort of eleven Fellows includes activists, researchers, healers, artists, trauma-informed care practitioners, and contemplative teachers who represent the next generation of diverse leadership in our movement for a more compassionate, resilient future. This initial cohort contributes to the development of a co-created methodology and curriculum that will serve as the foundation for future cohorts.Read the 2020-2022 Fellowship Impact Report:garrisoninstitute.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Fellowship-Impact-Report-2022.pdf
