About our fundraiser
Our aim is to generate 15 scholarships for Deep Democracy Institute (DDI) Global South and Ukraine students. Your donation goes 100% to flight tickets and lodging costs.
This fundraiser is to guarantee that DDI students studying in our programs in the global south – East Africa, South East Asia and Middle East – as well as Ukrainian students in the midst of war and displacement, can participate in and contribute to our high diversity learning space. Many DDI students spread across the globe are joining this hybrid Intensive event remotely via video or audio. While hybrid delivery provides an additional accessibility point, it does not replace having a mix of participants at the hands-on event from diverse global and economic geo-political regions. These face-to-face human encounters create dynamic interactions that those present and those remotely can learn from. This mix is a high impact speciality of our training program.
About the DDI global intensive
Our annual face to face Intensive is attended by over 100 students from the global south and north; some of us are living in the midst of relative economic and social privilege and others in disadvantaged economies, war zones and regional unrest. The mix of students and experiences creates an intensive learning environment for transforming inner and outer worlds in the here and now.
Our 2022 full immersion intensive is focused on a core specialization and awareness discipline of Deep Democracy Facilitation: Process Work Unfolding. This skill-set activates an inner source of enhanced creativity at individual, team and community levels. Our Unfolding focus this year is Unfolding Edges and HotSpots in your Inner Work, Relationships, Teams and Organizations.
For us and our students, this capability is crucial in navigating personal, organizational and community complications we find ourselves in. We are visitors on our earth. We CAN and MUST learn to collaborate. Learning how to co-create and co-facilitate this process is challenging. It forces us into an inner learning journey and transformation. Students will learn the theory and practice of Process-oriented Inner Work and defined group interventions that require a high degree of precision.
Participants gain a theoretical and practical foundation to work on their unique vision and get to know and practice applying their style and talents. The fruits can be applied directly and creatively by every person in their own roles and projects back home. (See below “About our DDI Learning Community” for examples of DDI student contexts)

About our donors
For the past 10 years, participation at our annual intensives for students from the global south and regional conflict zones has been possible thanks to many donors; mainly from the global north. Until now, most donors are also students in our program highly motivated to contribute to the participation of fellow learners. While we have many opportunities for online peer learning, coaching, supervision, seminars and tutorials, our DDI donors tell us that human encounters, and studying together at the face-to-face intensive with peers from the global south is a transformational highlight of our program. Many of us from the global north have developed lasting human relationships, enhanced awareness of rank and privilege dynamics, and enjoy practical partnerships that last the test of time.
You likely have your own networks and pressing needs that you already contribute to. If so, please feel welcome to enjoy knowing we exist, and if you feel the urge, we would appreciate your support by letting people in your network – family, colleagues, relevant organizations etc. know about us. If you are moved to support the rigorous education of deep democracy facilitators around the globe as a matter of urgency in our times, then this fundraiser is a concrete way to have an impact.
About Deep Democracy
Deep Democracy is a practice, an attitude and the philosophy at the core of Process Work founded by Arnold Mindell and developed since the 1980s with Amy Mindell and collaborators around the world. Deep Democracy Facilitation is meant to show the multi-dimensionality of individual and community life, by making space for all voices and unfold polarized sides to their essence. The Intensive provides a collaborative learning environment on your path, for spontaneous human warmth between participants in the midst of navigating differences, and discover unlikely connections across divisions and borders in the here and now. DDI was founded from this inspiration in 2006 by Ellen and Max Schupbach. Additionally, Max has co-pioneered Process Work Institutes around the world.
About the DDI Learning Community
We are co-learners from over 30 countries from Africa, South East Asia, Australia, the Middle East, Ukraine, Russia, Europe and the Americas. We are an informal and ever-changing network of individuals who live and work in: slums as community activists, hospitals as doctors and nurses, families and extended families as caretakers and team leaders, rural areas as farmers, and in business, non-profits, and corporate environments as owners, leaders, or team-members. We are in universities as first year college students and as professors in various disciplines, we are artists, ordained or non-ordained elders (in many of the world’s religions), government officials, psychologists and consultants. Our group is composed of introverts who identify as being awkward in social settings, extroverts who feel they thrive in groups, and the entire spectrum in between.
Thank you for taking time to read this, for your inner support, and for those who want to and can, for your financial contribution.
