There is an underlying purpose and direction behind what appears as chaos and destruction -- it is individual and collective, local and global at the same time. On the one hand there is a world that is collapsing and on the other there is a whole new world that is emerging full of undreamt possibilities. Between the caterpillar and butterfly we are passing through a transformational ferment. There is an evolutionary Force and Purpose at work and it is this significance that can shed light on the creative chaos we are facing today.

When a difficulty is turned into an exciting engagement, we call it adventure. TELOS is an invitation to this adventure – to transform difficulty into a marvelous opportunity, where you form your own road map, develop inner compass for direction, and build tools that help on the way.

TELOS offers a space where change-creator leaders can come together to:

• Connect to the Bigger Picture: Transcend one’s partial or fragmented world views to include more of the larger reality we are all a part of. Understand the process of evolutionary change.
• Sense overall Organizations’ Space: Discover a Whole view of the living organizational energy and its inter-relationships with nature, internal & external people, processes and systems.
• Development of Interiority of the Leaders: Become more aware of one’s intentions, behaviors, emotions, thoughts, motives, beliefs and values. Create conditions for transformation.
• Inner Globalization: Expand from ‘I Centered’ to ‘Global Centered’. Many organizations today are working in a multi-cultural global environment. Within each culture people are developing in uniquely different ways. Create the space for people in each culture to develop to their fullest, manifest the best within them and live and work together in harmony.
• Harness Collective We potential: Discover a depth of wisdom far beyond what is available to individuals. Tap into the mystery of collective intelligence.
• Strategize and Frame Integral Solutions: Create a unified vision and action plan for the fulfillment of multiple bottom-lines in the organization, towards the well being and development of the organization, its people and the planet.

• Heart of Leadership
• Multiple Bottom lines
• Global Centric standpoint
• Developing Interiority of leaders and organizations
• Meta-models for understanding evolution and stages of development
• Win-Win-Win Outcomes
• Collective Intelligence – A new kind of Knowing
• Level Meetings based on Dialogue
• Nature of Integral Strategies

As part of the Conclave we will be providing lunch, refreshments, exclusively-designed course material, note book and pen. We also wanted to have a venue which is different from a ‘regular’ workshop setup. Hence we have chosen a venue that is homely, simple and functional and at the same time has all the facilities required for the Conclave.

• Small Steps: An environmental awareness campaign which also provides employment to rural women. Visit: http://smallsteps.in
