Tuesday March 1, 2022 - Peter Pula

Carolyn Reilly serves as the generative communications design lead at Springhouse Community School in Pilot, Virginia, USA.

Springhouse is a school for regenerative culture builders. Learning is seen there as a lifelong journey that should be centred around vitality, meaning, and cultivating wholeness to better serve the world’s emerging needs.

At Springhouse, they have decided that it is most important to take care of, foster, and share life. The learning journey at Springhouse starts in a very different place than conventional schooling settings. In a time calling out for more whole and life-giving ways of learning and teaching Springhouse is leading the way. If you are interested in jumping through a portal to a world where learning begins not with curriculum, books, and standardized testing, but with life, wholeness, sensing, and the courage to step towards the unknown, this conversation just might be for you.

Writer bio

Peter Pula

Peter Pula has been exploring the pathways to social evolution since founding the Grassroots Review in his hometown of Peterborough in 1992. Since then he has served on the boards of civil society and arts organizations and served as board president on two of them.

He has been actively involved in federal politics and led a corporate communications firm. Axiom News was incorporated under his leadership in 2009 and went on to establish the practice of Generative Journalism in an international arena.

In 2015, Axiom News founded and funded the Peterborough Dialogues in its hometown. The Peterborough Dialogues hosted over 350 deep community dialogues, established and refined hosting arts, and has had lasting impact in the Peterborough community. For this work in community, Peter was awarded the 2017 Brian L. Desbiens Community Service Award by Fleming College after being nominated by his peers and members of the community.

Peter works in support of deep democracy and passionately but lightly-held spaces for citizen-led community development. He believes that artfully hosted dialogue and generative media making are together a necessary social innovation for cultivating local-living abundance.

Peter is an artful dialogue host, newsroom director, team leader, mentor, trainer, and consultant. He can be a supportive force in the cultivation of initiatives in your community, network, or organization.

He has been invited to host dialogues, summits, workshops, and learning circles in Canada, the United States, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, and most recently in France.
