Becoming a Global Community

Sally Mahé

Global transformation is at hand. As one age is dying and another is being born, people around the world are striving to work together to become one family in service to future generations. People are answering the call of time to recreate themselves as a global community that sustains all creation and sets humanity on the course of cooperation.

This workshop gives practical visionaries the tools, training, and hands-on experience to contribute significantly to creating a global community. Using the United Religions Initiative, a worldwide interfaith organization, as a learning lab, participants apply “Appreciative Inquiry,” a highly successful methodology for positive change, and work with innovative principles that enhance decentralized “bottom-up” organizing. Students also examine what works and what is needed for a healthy global community—and give their best creativity, inspiration, and resourcefulness to it.

Sally Mahé is a director with the United Religions Initiative. She travels widely, facilitating cross-cultural interfaith assemblies. She is coauthor of Birth of a Global Community: Appreciative Inquiry in Action and A Greater Democracy Day by Day. Sally developed a nationally recognized curriculum in the basic principles of democracy entitled Law in Action Series. She holds an MEd from Harvard and an MA in Theology from General Episcopal Seminary.
