The Great Initiation: Understanding the breakdown and birth of a new humanity

An evening workshop with Sebastian Dienst

We are living through a profound moment in human history. Multiple crises are converging at once. Exponential technologies are accelerating beyond human comprehension. The monetary architecture is increasingly fragile. Seven of nine planetary boundaries have already been crossed. The geopolitical order is fragmenting. Trust in institutions continues to erode.

Something fundamental is reorganizing. The old world is destabilizing while a new one struggles to be born. We are at a threshold in the human story.

About the Evening
This workshop creates a space to step back from the noise of daily headlines and explore our moment from a wider perspective. Through guided reflection, shared inquiry, and experiential exercises, we will explore:
– What kind of transition humanity may be moving through
– Why breakdown often precedes transformation
– What nature can teach us about periods of profound change
– How individuals can orient themselves in uncertain times

The goal of the evening is not to provide simple answers, but to cultivate deeper clarity and perspective.

Who This Is For
This evening is for people who sense that the world has entered a period of profound change and who want to engage with that reality from a place of clarity, wisdom and courage. Entrepreneurs, leaders, thinkers, and seekers navigating both the outer world of systems and the inner world of meaning.

Hosted by
Sebastian Dienst: Former tech entrepreneur turned executive coach working with leaders navigating complexity and transformation. His work explores the civilizational shifts reshaping our world and how we might meet them with clarity, wisdom, and courage.
