New York City – Sept. 19, 2024
Hosted by our collaborative Impact Networks through the Evolutionary Leaders Circle, 90 thought leaders and activists from around the world gathered at the historic Synod House of the Cathedral St. John the Divine in New York City in advance of the United Nations Peace Week Summit of the Future. Assembling for a private, day-long Deep and Rapid Transformation Convergence, visionary leaders addressed seven arenas of urgent global issues in response to the U.N.’s call for “We the People” to join in the global vision of a Pact for the Future.

This initiative came out of several Synergy Circles and Collaboratories of the Evolutionary Leaders Circle, particularly the SDG Thought Leaders Circle and Unitive Narrative Synergy Circle.

The day, based on three months of prior preparation through virtual roundtables across all seven Dimensions of the event, was aimed primarily at ongoing impact and ongoing activity of the DRTC groups through media and other avenues of direct engagement. A flavor of these directions can be enjoyed through the VoiceAmerica Special broadcast about the event on the Evolutionary Leaders VA series “Humanity’s Moment of Choice”: HUMANITY’S MOMENT OF CHOICE: SUMMIT OF THE FUTURE and a subsequent VoiceAmerica Special after the event is here: https://www.voiceamerica.com/episode/151659/humanitys-moment-of-choice-impact-for-change

Organizers and those engaged in the dialogues who are members of the Evolutionary Leaders Circle included: Dr. Robert Atkinson, Linda Bjork, Cynthia Brix, Scott Alan Carlin, John Clausen, Dr. Jude Currivan, Steve Farrell, Heidi Sparkes Guber, Jeffrey Genung, Rev. Laura George JD, Dr. Kurt Johnson, Dr. Will Keepin, Audrey Kitagawa JD, Emanuel Kuntzelman, Barbara Layton, Dr. Thomas Legrand, Dr. Nina Meyerhof, Louka Parry, Chief Dwaine Perry, Laura Rose, Brian Russo, Dr. Anneloes Smitsman, Denise Scotto JD, Daniel Stone, Kara Stonehouse, Kit Thomas, Rick Ulfik, Anne-Marie Voorhoeve, and Diane Marie Williams.

Jon Ramer created a visual map based on Kurt Johnson’s organizational framework to showcase synergy circles and collaboratories, each with unique missions, members, roles, and activity assets. The map categorizes assets by method of operation and openness to new subgroups, highlighting the dynamic nature of these groups. This visualization aims to help us understand and appreciate the depth of our roles as evolutionary leaders.
