SUMMARY:Institute Course | Hopeful Intelligence: Reimagining AI Through Spiritual Wisdom
DESCRIPTION:How do spiritual realities shape our understanding of generative artificial intelligence (AI)\, and what new possibilities of “hopeful intelligence” arise when we explore this intersection? In this dynamic three-session course\, David Kim\, alongside futurist Bob Johansen (Distinguished Fellow at the Institute for the Future)\, will guide participants through a transformative exploration of how spiritual wisdom can inform the way we design\, understand\, and collaborate with AI systems. \nDavid was invited in 2021 to join the Advisory Board of AI and Faith where he contributes essays\, and has contributed a chapter in Faithful AI. David consults organizations to thoughtfully engage with this emerging technology with a hopeful theistic frame. \nThis transformative course will present a Hopeful Intelligence framework\, exploring how artificial intelligence can transcend efficiency and profit-driven assumptions to become an unprecedented tool for hope\, imagination\, and human flourishing. Grounded in spiritual wisdom and informed by thinkers like Bob Johansen\, Charles Taylor and Otto Scharmer\, participants will engage in reflective practices\, collaborative exercises\, and visionary discussions to reimagine AI’s potential in addressing the world’s deepest pain points with justice\, creativity\, and grace. Through this journey\, participants will learn to align AI with a future marked by compassion\, equity\, and divine purpose.  We will consider both the theological and practical implications of these questions as we explore this new frontier. \nRegister now to explore how spiritual realities can inform and transform our approach to one of the most influential technologies of our time. \nDetails: \nLocation: Online\nDate and Time: Three sessions held on January 14\, 21\, 28 from 11:30-1:00 ET\nCost: $400 (early bird\, before Dec 1) / $550 \nAbout your Guide: \n \n\nDavid Kim is the CEO and co-founder of Goldenwood. Over the past several decades\, Rev. Dr. David Kim has trained\, consulted\, and counseled hundreds of leaders and organizations in developing a robust\, meaningful integration of faith and work. David’s past experiences as VP of Faith and Work\, Executive Director of the Center for Faith & Work\, Director of the Gotham Fellowship\, and editor of the NIV Faith and Work Bible have given him a breadth of exposure to the challenges of integrating faith and work. His expertise as a key thought-leader in the faith and work space has been well-established having addressed prominent institutions and churches around the world. David’s passion is to help people and organizations see the unseen realities that give rise to the world we create. \n  \n  \n\nBob Johansen began working with IFTF in 1973 and has worked as a professional futurist for nearly 50 years. The author or co-author of 12 books and a frequent keynote speaker\, he recently completed a trilogy that details the types of leadership that will thrive in the next decade.

SUMMARY:Institute Retreat | Nourishing Body & Spirit: Wintering
DESCRIPTION:With the new year comes new opportunity for making self-betterment goals with gusto! But those intentions can come with confusion\, lack of support\, and are all too often devoid of the Spirit’s guidance. Somewhere along the line\, we forgot how deeply interconnected our spiritual selves are to our physical bodies. Our spirit resides within the physical form that God fearfully and wonderfully made\, and as Christians our physical bodies are also (mysteriously) the place where God’s Spirit dwells. Therefore when Scripture calls our bodies a temple\, it is a physical reality and not just a philosophical idea. \nDespite this divine design of interconnection\, we tend to separate the spiritual from the physical in our thoughts and in our actions. We don’t know what to eat\, or when\, we deprive ourselves of sleep and expose our bodies to toxins\, we disassociate the stress in our spirits from our bodily reaction\, all resulting in disease and disorder. \nBut God’s desire is to reconnect our spirits with our bodies\, because it is in our bodies that His Spirit dwells. It is in the fullness of our embodied form that we can experience His Kingdom breaking into this world. \nHow can we grow in spiritual discernment to know how to nourish\, care for\, and strengthen our bodies? How can we experience the power of the Spirit leading us toward a fullness that encompasses both body and soul? And how can we embrace the seasons as a divine pattern for overall flourishing? \nThis 1.5 day collaboration with Re-Well is the first in a four-part seasonal series unfolding in 2025\, in a new location each quarter! \nSpace is limited for this retreat; secure your spot today! \n________ \nDetails: \nLocation: Midtown Manhattan\, NYC\nCost: $500 (individual) / $900 (couple)\nYour registration includes several of the group meals and all retreat sessions and materials\, but does not include lodging.  \nAbout your Guides:\nAbout Re-well: We care for your body\, soul\, and spirit – all under one roof. Through a Functional Medical model\, we are bringing clarity instead of confusion\, connection instead of fragments\, wellness instead of a facade\, truth instead of guesses\, and power instead of prescriptions. \n\nDr. Chika Okoli earned her B.S. in Sports Medicine from Samford University. She then went on to complete medical school at Morehouse School of Medicine in Atlanta\, GA where she graduated Cum Laude. She completed her internship and residency training at The Yale University School of Medicine in New Haven\, CT. She earned the honor of Resident of the Year during her second year of training. She was recognized as a Global Health Scholar through the Yale/Stanford Johnson & Johnson Global Health Scholars Program for the work she did in Tugela Ferry\, South Africa. Following residency\, she began working as an attending physician at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York City. \n  \n  \n\nAmber Gentry earned her B.S. in Psychology from Texas A&M University. She then went on to serve in various Christian churches and ministries for 15 years\, while raising three awesome kids. In 2016 she went back to school to the Institute for Integrative Nutrition\, for nutrition and coaching. What she learned was astounding but true: we are perpetuating 80% of our disease and disorders through our food and lifestyle habits. She founded her private Health Coaching practice in 2017\, and has coached clients from all over the country on how to find the best way to eat for their bodies\, in accordance with their bio-individuality\, and connected with their culture and heritage. Amber specializes in coaching busy professionals and their families towards abundance and peace.

SUMMARY:Institute Intensive | Creative Collaboration in the Gift Economy // Film with Stephen Bailey
DESCRIPTION:Facilitated by Stephen Bailey\, dive into an industry conversation in New York City\, where filmmakers\, writers\, and cultural innovators come together to explore the art of Creative Collaboration in the Gift Economy.  We draw inspiration from Lewis Hyde’s seminal work The Gift: Creativity and the Artist in the Modern World\, where he introduces the concept of the “gift economy.” Unlike the traditional market economy\, which is driven by exchange and profit\, the gift economy thrives on principles of generosity\, reciprocity\, and the creation of community through shared resources. \nHyde’s idea of the gift economy suggests that true creativity flourishes when art is seen not merely as a commodity\, but as a gift to be shared—a catalyst for building relationships and fostering a sense of collective purpose. In this spirit\, this intensive explores how these principles can be applied within the film industry. \nThis intensive will offer a unique opportunity to engage in an industry conversation through the lens of generosity\, shared purpose\, and the profound impact of collaboration. \nOver the course of the day\, you’ll participate in exclusive film screenings\, intimate discussions with directors and writers\, and opportunities for connection designed to foster creativity and collaboration. Discover how the principles of the gift economy can breathe new life into your creative projects\, and learn from others who are also navigating the challenges of collaborative filmmaking. \nWhether you’re an emerging artist or a seasoned professional\, this intensive is designed to deepen your understanding of how art and generosity intersect\, creating powerful and meaningful work. Join us to connect with like-minded creatives\, gain valuable insights\, and leave inspired to bring your own creative visions to life. \nSpace is limited for this intensive; secure your spot today! \n________ \nDetails:\nSchedule: Kicking off at 9:30a and wrapping by 5:30p\, with an optional happy hour and evening activity. \nLocation: The Hub NYC: 109 E 31st St. New York\, NY 10016 \nCost: $250 [Financial assistance available; email info@goldenwoodnyc.org to request!]\nYour registration fee includes all Intensive sessions and materials\, lunch\, and optional evening activity. \n  \nOur Guest Speakers & Collaborators Include:\nJonathan T.

SUMMARY:DREAM FORUM | Round 3 (Hybrid)
DESCRIPTION:NOVEMBER IS DREAMER MONTH! \nFor the past six months\, our twelve Dreamers have been guided on a journey of slowing down to discern God’s voice calling new things forth\, provided with practical resources and connections\, and supported by individual guidance from our Cultivation Committee. \nNow it’s time to bring YOUR skills\, connections\, and resources into this communal process of dream cultivation and play your part in taking up the calling we’ve received—a calling to reimagine and remake our world with love. \nWe’re extending this year’s Dream Forum across three nights\, highlighting four Dreamers each week\, to create more space for honoring these incredible Dreamers and nurturing generative connections. Together\, in Spirit-led community\, we can cultivate new vision to help bring beauty\, justice\, and restoration to our world. \nJoin us for our final Dream Forum round online AND in-person in NYC and let’s dream together! \nMore about Goldenwood’s Dream Forum…  \n  \nRSVP & COME DREAM WITH US!\n*If you’re planning to join us in-person in midtown Manhattan\, consider coming early for our monthly After-Work! Details here… \n  \nROUND 3 (NOV 16\, 7:30p EST)\n \n  \nDaniel Chun (NYC) | Reimagining Real Estate \nFrom hosting friends in your home to having a meeting place for worship\, I believe real estate is the lifeblood of human growth and community. Real estate can be leveraged in many ways and my dream is to help individuals and organizations reimagine the role it can play in their lives. At its essence\, developing a property is a value creation process that nets profit in both the short and longterm. What I see God wanting to do is to point this value-creation machine towards purpose-driven endeavors that both make a profit (though maybe less) AND have kingdom purpose in terms of how real estate is developed and used. \nRead about Dan’s experience #InsidetheDreamPod\, Learning to Follow. \n  \n  \n \n  \nGrace Swee (NYC) | Eradicating Homelessness as Communal Endeavor \nI dream of a city where homelessness is a thing of the past\, where poverty is eradicated\, and where human beings aren’t struggling to survive but dream. I hope to form a core group of believers from different churches who have the heart to address homelessness and poverty in the city. I see this group (of friends) as a coalition of representatives to unite churches in NYC towards greater compassion\, and long-term solutions. It would also function as an outpost to gather and disseminate collective resources within the body. \nRead about Grace’s experience #InsidetheDreamPod\, Dreaming with God. \n  \n  \n  \n \n  \nCarney R. Burns Jr. (New Rochelle\, NY) | Professional Sales Training for Marginalized Communities \nHaving raised a family of five children (four college graduates so far) over a 30-year career as a sales professional\, I have experienced the power of a career in professional business-to-business sales. In my volunteer activities in prison re-entry ministries\, I encountered people with the innate talent to be successful salespeople\, but they were unaware of the career path to seize the opportunity. This discrepancy led me to start Faith Professional Sales Institute (FPSI) to train marginalized populations in the principles of professional selling as a way to develop successful\, family-building careers. \nRead about Carney’s experience #InsidetheDreamPod\, Waiting for the Ripening. \n  \n  \n \n  \nEllen Choi (Queens\, NY) | Dignifying Workplaces & Producing Plant-Based Food \nThe conception of my dream began with a question: how can survivors of complex trauma be affirmed and dignified in everyday life? By bringing human-centric design and trauma-informed practices to industrial workplaces\, I aim to create manufacturing plants that take good care of people and the environment. To that end\, I hope to found a product line of plant-based food and become a Certified B-Corp. My vision is to begin in South Korea to establish an economically and geographically logical anchor\, then expand to emerging markets and underserved communities in the Asia-Pacific region.
