The Second Renaissance Conference Series
Transformation in a Time of Metacrisis
DECEMBER 5 - 7
2025
ONLINE
A Wisdom-Based Community of Practice for Engaged Action
We live in a time of accelerating crisis and possibility: social polarization, ecological breakdown, inequality, and a crisis of meaning. These are not separate problems, but interwoven symptoms of a deeper shift in our core values, beliefs, and stories.
The Second Renaissance responds to this metacrisis with a regenerative vision: not only reform, but a profound renewal of consciousness, culture, and collective purpose. We draw from wisdom traditions, science, art, activism; integrating inner cultivation, relational resilience, and practical action.
After the inspiring success of our Human Transformation in a Time of Metacrisis conference at Harvard University (May 2025), we’re excited to announce the Second Renaissance Conference Series: Transformation in Time of Metacrisis, a series of interconnected gatherings designed to strengthen resilience, deepen wisdom, and cultivate community for transformation.
