Wayfinders: Ordinary People Changing the World

April 13 @ 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm

 

Presented by The Brahma Kumaris

In today’s complex world, marked by economic challenges, social inequality, and environmental issues, many feel overwhelmed and powerless, as if life is unfolding beyond their grasp. During these times, Wayfinders emerge… ordinary people doing extraordinary things.

Wayfinders: Ordinary People Changing the World is an event designed to offer hope, clarity, and a path to personal and collective transformation.

Through powerful personal storytelling, inspiring music, and meditation, guests will witness how ordinary people overcome adversity and ignite change – proving that even the smallest shift within can create ripples in the world around us.

Come along for an afternoon of heartfelt wisdom hosted by the Brahma Kumaris Australia. Reconnect with your inner strength and come find your light.

In-person speakers are:

● Dr Julia Baird – Australian journalist and author (Panel Facilitator)
● Sister Jayanti – Spiritual Teacher, Additional Administrative Head, The
Brahma Kumaris
● Hon Clover Moore – Lord Mayor, City of Sydney
● Hon Linda Burney – former Minister for Indigenous Australians and
Member for Barton
● Jon Owen – CEO, Wayside Chapel, Sydney

International Messengers are:
● Katrín Jakobsdóttir – former Prime Minister of Iceland
● Christiana Figueres – former Exec Sec UNFCCC and Founding Partner of
Global Optimism

The facilitated panel discussion will be divided into three sections with a specific
theme around Wayfinding.

  • You are not alone! In times of personal challenge and hardship we often feel
    that we are alone and isolated. The culture of the contemporary world is one where
    many people feel alienated and disconnected (even within a network of family and
    friends). Yet the situations we find ourselves in are often shared collective
    experiences. In tough times, we often see humanity’s best – people coming together,
    supporting one another, and shining through the darkness.

 

  • The anchor within. During tough times, sometimes referred to as ‘the dark
    night of the soul’, we discover that when we look within we find the inner power,
    the inner wisdom, resources and solutions to apply to the external challenge.

 

  • I am the shift: We are the shift . It’s all too easy to blame governments,
    institutions, communities, families, workplaces and so on for the painful injustices
    in our world. Yet, blaming frequently holds us in a personally disempowered inactive
    state – expecting someone else or something else to change. When I change, the
    world changes, or as is said: “Be the change you want to see”.

The intent of event is to create a progressive mood shift from darkness to light, despair to hope, confusion to clarity, chaos to order, resignation to resilience, and hatred to harmony – using the powerful narrative of personal storytelling.
