Values
Lifelong Learning: developing skills for the insight approach can happen at any point in the journey of an insight practitioner.
Creative Engagement: we view creative projects as encompassing a spiritual aspect of our work that rigid structures may not otherwise provide. as such, we value all methods of communicating, experiencing, and expressing curiosity.
Academic Integrity: Our work is rooted in the critical philosophy of Bernard Lonergan. It was developed out of the masterful mediation practice of Dr. Cheryl Picard with the theoretical guidance of Lonergan scholars, Drs. Jamie Price and Kenneth Melchin. the insight approach continues to be researched and analyzed under rigorous academic standards.
Mission
To prepare practitioners for positive action by advancing the practice of curiosity within conscious decision-making processes.
Vision
An engaged community of professionals encouraging each other to use the Insight approach in innovative ways.
our goal
Insight Collaborations International was created to encourage engagement and continuous learning for professionals using the Insight Approach.
our journey
In 2017, a group of dedicated Insight scholars and practitioners came together around Cheryl Picard’s Prince Edward Island dining room table to establish a unified space for those who care about the growth, use and development of the Insight Approach. Our dining room conversations grew into the first Insight Summit in 2019, which grew into the first Virtual Insight Summit in 2020, and now into Insight Collaborations International. In this space, we connect people to Insight and to each other so we can grow the Insight community, as well as create a rigorous and supportive space for theory, method, learning and change. In doing so, we hope to build our individual and collective capacity to more fully thrive and influence the systems in which we live, work, play and love
Why us?
