Starting in 2023, Emergence Magazine's ten-part leadership course offers emerging leaders the opportunity to deepen their skills in building and co-creating spaces of renewal, reciprocity, and reverence. The course offers an in-depth exploration of the emerging field of spiritual ecology: an evolving philosophy that is rooted in the understanding that ecology, culture, and spirituality are interdependent.

With the guidance of guest teachers—including Jamaica Osorio, James Bridle, David Abram, Emmanuel Vaughan-Lee, Kalyanee Mam, Rowen White, and Tyson Yunkaporta—participants will have the opportunity to learn from the wisdom and leadership experience of philosophers, writers, filmmakers, activists, and community leaders. Additionally, a number of course sessions will offer space for facilitated discussion, personal reflections through written prompts, group sharing, storytelling, and one-on-one mentorship sessions with guest teachers, course participants, and Emergence staff.

Throughout the course, participants will be given required and optional reading and writing assignments designed to deepen the learning and exploration of the key themes discussed in the course. The curriculum will feature three themed modules: listening for the stories that want to be told, participating with the animate earth, and participatory leadership.
