FOUR ARROWS talks about
What Do We Do When Something Goes Wrong?
November 2nd | with Four Arrows
We are besieged, overwhelmed, and exhausted by unending crises. The common response is to assign blame as quickly as possible rather than learn from experience. This refusal to learn and adapt is suicidal–blame and denial are destroying community and the future.
“Whatever the problem, community is the answer.”
