Naming the Network

The name for this network is still a work in progress. “Wisdom Funders’ Network” is our current placeholder. Our job has been complicated by the fact that the network is defined, not by a specific content area such as education, social justice etc., but instead by a broad strategic aim (personal and social transformation, oneness, wisdom) and approach (relationship-centered, contemplative, participatory, wholistic). None of these terms seems adequate in capturing the potency and power of the domain that this network is serving. Please send us your thoughts, feedback and creative ideas.

CASA: Contemplation and Social Action: A Funders Network
