About the Inner Development Goals:

The Inner Development Goals (IDG’s) are a global initiative that develops inner abilities and skills for people and organizations to achieve the UN Sustainable Development Goals. The framework was built with 4000+ scientists, experts and practitioners and includes 5 dimensions: Being, Thinking, Relating, Collaborating and Acting along with 23 skills and qualities. Workshop participants will explore many of these dimensions and examine the intersectional role that science, spirituality and storytelling play in building resilience. 

We look forward to welcoming people from a variety of industries and backgrounds which may include B-Corps, mission-led organizations, and change-makers from every field. We offer equity pricing for non-profit organizations and emergent leaders.

Equity participants may include organizers, activists, young people and individuals not affiliated with an organization, as well as individuals from groups that have historically been marginalized such as BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) and LGBTQ+ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer or Questioning, Plus), people with disabilities, immigrants, and refugees.

Dr. Robert Cabin, Emeritus Professor of Environmental Studies and Overstory coach explains the benefits of this inner development process: “Learning how to create a healthier, positive, and resilient personal life has reignited my passion for science and education and inspired me to do my best work on climate change.”

 

About Overstory LLC:

 

Overstory is a coaching and consulting group dedicated to personal and planetary flourishing.

We see the climate crisis as an adaptive problem, not merely a technical one. We work with clients to elevate their inner capacity, change old habits and release worn out interpretations in order to thrive during times of flux and uncertainty. We dare to believe that the climate crisis can bring forward amazing regenerative opportunities, BUT this will only happen with important ownership of our role in this crisis, critical resilience training and imaginative reframing of the stories we tell ourselves about what is possible. Our framework stems from the UN Five Inner Development Goals which are grounded in a science-based understanding of inner development and what is needed to support a sustainable future. With backgrounds and training in Environmental Studies, Public Policy, Divinity, and Communications,  Overstory leverages the power of science, spirituality and storytelling to build resilience and inspired action.
