The One Humanity Lab Podcast: Into an Ecology of Wholeness explores the field of coaching from various angles through the lens of the e-Co Leadership Coaching program. The e-Co program is based on the perspective that we must first develop inner capacities in order to then expand outwards in our service to others. Inner capacities include a return to our dreaming, intuition, creativity, and grounded connectivity to people, communities, nature, and Source. Coaching is one of many containers for this process, and the podcast looks at this container by talking to multiple voices in the field and beyond.
Into an Ecology of Wholeness is hosted by Ina Gjikondi and Bonnie Buckner, lead faculty for e-Co Leadership Coaching certification program at the George Washington University Center for Excellence in Public Leadership (the Center). Ina is the Founder and Director of the program, and also serves as Director of Executive Education & Coaching at the Center. She also founded the One Humanity Lab which is a 'glocal' learning hub that leverages the e-Co Leadership capacities, art, technology, design, and nature, to activate the power of collective wisdom for a flourishing world. Bonnie is the Founder and Head of the International Institute for Dreaming and Imagery, which works with dreaming, imagery, and the spontaneous imagination as tools for transformation, creativity, personal development, connection to Self and Source, and for finding solutions to social and global challenges.
Into an Ecology of Wholeness, podcast features multiple voices in the fields of coaching and wholeness. Through deep and meaningful conversations Ina and Bonnie explore, with their guests, ways in which individuals and organizations can grow, heal, and improve, by accessing inner capacities to return to grounded connectivity to people, communities, and the planet. They add to the coaching conversation how an emphasis on inner development can make coaching a path toward wholeness. Their topics explore nature practices, dreaming, intuition, creativity, and more.
