Course synopsis
Dharmalaya Institute is partnering with Earthville Institute in the USA to bring you ‘Building a Better World’, a unique long-term programme specifically for caring people like you who want to make a positive impact in the world. This precious opportunity is designed to empower you as an insightful, sensitive, and effective agent of change, and to help you develop your skills for making your inspirations into realities.
Each of us has our own unique contributions to make to this world, and if you’re reading this right now it is because you want to make a difference. But how can we make the best contributions we can make? Where do we focus, and how do we improve? How do we meet the human challenges of working with others effectively? How do we communicate successfully? How do we reach people? How do we inspire others to action? How do we make it work financially? How do we take care of ourselves along the way? And how do we do our work as sustainably as possible?
This programme will address all of these essential questions and more, supporting you to make greater beneficial impacts while also evolving as a caring human and a compassionate local and global citizen.
What’s more, you will have opportunities to apply the skills and sensitivities you’ll be developing in the course in the real-world context of the work of Dharmalaya Institute itself (with the option of gaining experience at Earthville Institute in the USA as well). And, in that process, you will have the opportunity to be a part of the team that will shape the future of the Institute — a rare and precious opportunity to make a major impact.
