This will be a time to reflect together on what we have experienced in the past few days. What moved you? What new ideas were generated for you? How have you gained new insights into your worldviews, beliefs, and ways of engaging in the world? What are your next steps to deepen your personal transformation and that of the broader society? How can IONS support you in that process?
