Peter Block in person is authentic, wise, and challenging. He suggests that community exists for the sake of belonging and when people feel belonging it is natural for there to be commitment. So we transform systems through creating a wider sense of belonging and caring for the well-being of the whole. Not identifying those in need and trying to solve their problems for them. In Peter’s words, “We currently have all the capacity, expertise, programs, leaders, regulation and wealth required to create an alternative future…Transformation is linguistic: we change the community by changing the conversation.” What is really worth talking about? Not stories about the past but about the future we want, restoring relatedness and becoming a truly global community. And so we invite you to consider, what can we who are the global Enneagram community create together?
