CEIO GUIDING VALUES

CURRENT OFFERINGS

Seeding Conscious Co-Creation
CEIO’s Seeding Conscious Co-Creation (SCC) program supports both the forming of new and the development of existing communities of practice that seek to center conscious use of power (conscious co-creation), well-being, and liberation as individuals, and within the larger community.

Deeper Change Forums
Deeper Change Forums create spaces that invite fundamental transformation. A change that is so deep that a return to the previous conditions is utterly inconceivable. Courageous conversations - grounded in peace, justice, and love.
Deeper Change Forums are freely offered and open to all. Registration is required.

Organizational Partnerships
CEIO partners with community-serving organizations that seek to be more just, inclusive and consciously co-creative. We support partners in this endeavor, therefore increasing their overall mission effectiveness.
The CEIO Capacity Building & Training Partners (CBTP) work closely with partner organizations. Skilled in understanding transformational processes, CEIO-CBTP provide guidance, training and skill in holding the space for deep change work. The objective for these working relationships is to co-define and implement a plan for deep and lasting organizational transformation.
ALL PARTNER ORGANIZATIONS ARE UNDER CONSIDERATION AND REVIEWED ON A REGULAR BASIS. WE ARE NOT CURRENTLY ACCEPTING MULTI-YEAR INQUIRIES.
