How WWND Ties Into My LIPD Goals

Independent of the goals of the project itself, I had to consider whether pursuing this could help me meet my goals. To help me do this, I created the following table listing my 5P goals from my Capstone Learning Intentions and analyzed the alignment between my project and these goals.

5P Goals	From LIPD	WWND
Personal	To continue the path I set during my pre-capstone phase by building my understanding and practices of spiritual, physical, and intellectual development. Spiritually, this means improving contemplative practices and aligning actions with values; physically it means maintaining or improving fitness and health and growing my skills in practices (such as dance, yoga, and acroyoga in my case); Intellectually it means improving thinking processes and gaining useful knowledge.	Spiritually: WWND features a powerful personal development methodology which includes mindfulness practices and specific techniques for aligning actions with values; Physically: no obvious relevance; Intellectually: many benefits, including improving my understanding and practice of Ecosocial Design
Professional	To continue to develop as an ecosocial designer, identifying where society’s needs overlap with my skills and interests; I will continue to build my network of like-minded associates while refining how I market myself to clients; I will improve my educational design skills and create opportunities to teach Ecosocial Design to people from all walks of life. This includes the creation of an integrated curriculum that distills best practices from my favorite methods.	This goal list was written with something like this project in mind, and so pursuing this project will advance all of this.
Peer	To strengthen and grow my network of friends and colleagues. As I enter this new field, to find mentors and allies who can support me and to support those who benefit from my help. As a friend, to remain present in important relationships and approach interactions with an open heart. As a father, to continue to support the growth of my children as they transition towards adulthood, providing guidance and discernment while suspending judgement. As a husband, to grow and evolve in love and partnership.	Pursuing this project will advance many of these goals, including strengthening and grow my network of colleagues, finding mentors and allies who can support me, and supporting those who benefit from my help. I will specifically deepen my working relationship with Emma and the other presenters, develop new relationships with our students, and advance my reputation as a competent teacher and user of these methodologies.
Political/Patrix	To improve my recognition and response to Patrix patterns in my own thinking and to continue to identify and share ways to break myself and my community free of these. To improve my literacy around alternatives to the exploitative economic models that dominate our culture; to create and support opportunities and examples of social and environmental justice; to seek ways to move political discourse from a focus on problems to a focus on possibilities.	The intentions of WWND include aspects of all of these elements.
Planetary	I will continue evaluating and reducing my environmental footprint and build on the progress I’ve made in the areas of reducing my fossil fuel use, reducing my dependence on animal products, transitioning my family’s energy usage to renewables, increasing growing my own food, reducing my water use. Similarly, I will seek ways to enhance the positive social impact of my actions.	The content of WWND is intended to disseminate knowledge which rekindles people’s connection to nature, others, and themselves, in other words, bridging Theory U’s three divides. It is well suited to advance this goal.
