Culture is like an iceberg. It is massive! When we think about culture, we only imagine a small part of it. But the effects of culture run deep into forming our worldviews.
Culture consists of explicit and implicit aspects. What we usually know as explicit is a culture's language, food, music, art, and rituals. But on an implicit level, culture defines our beliefs, behaviors, emotions, relationships to authority, sense of justice, and informs our overall worldview.
We are seeking facilitators and subject matter experts to get involved and contribute what matters to them as it relates to solving modern problems surrounding culture. Contact us to learn more.
