The Future Normals Webinar Series
Join us for a series of 7 Transformational Webinars for creating a World that Works, offered by
Envisioning a post-coronavirus world
We are delighted to share here the recordings of our successful new webinar series of the EARTHwise Tipping Point Conversations for a World that Works, called:
The Future Normals
This webinar series resulted from a unique collaboration between EARTHwise Centre and r3.0, both founding members of the EARTHwise Tipping Point System for transition leadership and civilizational transformation. r3.0 co-facilitates this webinar series based on their Transformation Journey Blueprint and Programs. Together, we offer a unique starting point for the Future Normals.
Why this webinar series is so important right now
The corona virus crisis has revealed even more strongly that dualistically polarized systems are incapable of guiding us through periods of crisis, in fact they are the very reason that we sink so deep into crisis. With dualistically polarized systems we mean the kind of dynamics that create divisions such as “economic gain versus health priorities”, “climate priorities versus business interests”, “state safety versus individual freedom”, and so forth.
The “Future Normals” webinars explore the necessary ’transition pathways’, r3.0’s language of multi-level transformation, to get us out of dualistic argumentation and old unsustainable normals, by offering a Third Way approach for moving out of the crisis. The ‘Third Way’ is a unique approach developed by Dr Anneloes Smitsman based on her PhD research at Maastricht University, the Netherlands.
Who this webinar series is for
Transition leaders, policy makers, creatives, solutionaries, academics, positive mavericks, visionaries, culture designers, and people who are committed to creating a world that works for all. The COVID-19 crisis has taken the life of hundreds of thousands of people already. It is our moral responsibility to learn from this crisis and all it is revealing to build the foundations for future normals that are healthy, regenerative, and thrivable.

What you can expect from this webinar series
In a series of 1.5 hour webinars on zoom, Dr. Anneloes Smitsman, CEO of EARTHwise Centre and Ralph Thurm, Managing Director of r3.0, facilitated these Tipping Point Conversations. The webinar recordings and resources, with special guest experts, are available as single recordings and via an online library for the full series.
The “Future Normals” are based on a unique formula which is applied to various transition trajectories. Each webinar will explore possible “Future Normals”, using system maps and tools that have been developed by r3.0 and EARTHwise Centre for systemic transformational change and transition leadership:
The Third Way Formula for new Future Normals:
- A key topic is introduced that reveals a dualistic provocation that is in the news and where opinions are often stuck in an either/or argumentation.
- A perspective from r3.0, based on backcasting from an ideal situation, using r3.0 knowledge and tooling, presents a generic “maturation pathway”.
- A “Third Way” system tool from EARTHwise Centre is shared for: 1) identifying the systemic boundaries that are ignored or harmed; 2) revealing the systemic thrivability barriers that give rise to this dualistic polarization, and; 3) identifying possible transformation strategies for third way solutions.
- Breakout conversation in smaller groups for exploring “third way” future normals trajectories.
- Completion in large group for sketching “third way” future normals trajectories based on the synergies of the group intelligence and collective wisdom.
- Reflection opportunity by the participants, especially around how they sketch a first step for them, and the value the session created for them.
