The innovative Livable Future Investing Workshop, the flagship programme from the Francesco Collaborative, is opening for applications for its next cohort, which will run from 4 May to 4 June 2024.
There really is nothing like it for participants who wish to work in communion with each other to explore how to fully embed the teachings of Laudato Si' into the financial world of the twenty-first century.
Testimonials from alumni of earlier cohorts report that this workshop is different from any other professional workshop experience they have had.
It has even been described as “A mind-blowing, visionary experience that opens up your mind, heart, and soul to mission-driven/impact investing.” (Jeff Rauenhorst, Board Member, Better Way Foundation.)
This experience was intentionally built into the design of the workshop from its very first iteration.
'Our workshop model combines the spiritual nourishment of a retreat, the intellectual insight of a committed classroom, the warmth of a faith community, the practical tools of a community organizing training, and the graced energy of a prophetic sermon,' says founder Elizabeth Garlow. 'We are not aware of anything else quite like it.'
The Livable Future Investing Workshop creates a space participants to explore how the limited options afforded by conventional finance can constrain our ability to live in alignment with our faith values. It also encourages participants to dream about what needs to be done to build the structures to bring about a finance that is 'faith-first'.
Using the lens of faith values, the workshop seeks to challenge the current financial systems to build a new paradigm of reciprocity and solidarity in business and finance.
