Description
The WeShift Institute is an awareness-based capacity-building program designed to foster the inner shift from ‘me to We’, integrating 18 of the 23 IDG transformative skills. The Institute’s fellowship is for mindfulness practitioners committed to growing awareness, building connectedness, and creating positive social change.
As a global society, we are at a point where individual transformation is not enough to bring about the changes needed to serve humanity and the planet. If we are to address the urgent poly-crises of our time, we need to:
• Shift our focus from me to We and address the root of the problems – which live in our collective hearts and minds
• Develop transformation literacy that goes beyond the self
• Transform how we relate with change and approach change-making
So that together we can catalyze our collective transformation for a more flourishing future.
The WeShift journey is highly relevant to catalyzing collective action on climate change and equally crucial for addressing the full spectrum of our shared global challenges. It is part of the broader Solution Mandala, enabling us to co-create solutions that both acknowledges and attends to the complexity and interconnectedness of today’s global society.
The WeShift Institute integrates a unique combination of knowledge and practices from the fields of contemplative science, quantum science, with original frameworks to foster the me to we cultural evolution so needed today.
WeShift Fellows report having:
• Diminished belief in an isolated and disconnected self
• Enhanced capacity to build connectedness, and work toward and with interdependence
• Increased freedom from ingrained social norms and conditioned habits of mind that limit their potential, and what they believe is possible
• Deeper sense of personal agency
• Increased action confidence to step into the unknown
• Enlivened sense of personal significance in catalyzing meaningful change
Better equipping them, as change-makers, to activate and actualize meaningful transformation in their communities.
Fundamentally, this me to We journey changes the way we relate with change and approach change-making, freeing us to respond to the daunting challenges of our time in new ways.
Join the WeShift Institute’s next fellowship beginning in January 2025. Together we excavate our inner archaeology, build our inner infrastructure, dare greatly, and ignite the possible.

Learnings
“This is the best compilation of detailed process steps and guidance in an experiential form I’ve ever found – providing the knowledge & a practical orientation for ongoing embodiment. This is the guidance and support we need to begin to collectively move from me to we.” Laurie K., PhD, Counselor
“WeShift is a masterpiece. The unique combination of process and practice is so artfully designed. It’s not about philosophy–throughout the journey we turn concepts into action. The Institute definitely ignites a spark that will bring about the change as a way of life.” Archana M., MD, Professor of Medicine
“I have a completely different perspective and way of relating. This program shifts our relationship with perceptions of separate or interconnected. It’s changed my approach to advocacy. It’s really been paradigm-shifting for me.” Randy H., Government Official
“I have an extensive background related to this work and am a practitioner, but this is not just about greater awareness. This journey from me to we is so different. I’ve never had this type of guided practice-in-action support in any program I’ve ever been in.” Liane B., Meditation Teacher & Wellness Coach
