Ecosystem Leadership Program Asia Pacific 2025

At a Glance

Ecosystem Leadership Program Module 2 is an intensive in-person and on-island program in Bali, Indonesia, for change makers and innovators across sectors and across the Asia Pacific. We will be coming together to co-cultivate the kind of systems practices appropriate for our time and our specific places, activating the deepest sources of knowledge, inspiration and action for awareness-based systems change. (This module builds on ELP AP Module 1.)

The program is also part of the certification process of the Presencing Institute.

Jun 25 – 28, 2025

In-Person

Prerequisite: Completion of Module 1 in 2024, or enrolment in Module 1 2025 taking place immediately before this module, or completion of similar in-person programs (PFP, Global ELP, etc.). Click here to learn more about or register for Module 1.

Modules: Module 1 will be held back-to-back with Module 2 in 2025. Module 3 will take place in 2026. Completion of Modules 1 and 2 will be required to attend Module 3. We do not know when we will be holding further modules after 2026, so you are encouraged to have completed both Modules 1 & 2 before 2026.

Hosts: Presencing Institute (PI), United in Diversity (UID), The Rizal Academy for Innovation and Leadership (TRAIL).

Location: Kura Kura (Serangan) Island, Bali, Indonesia.

Times: Start 5:30pm Jun 25, end 4pm June 28, 2025 (subject to minor changes).

Who: For those living and/or working in, or deeply connected to the Asia Pacific region. For those who have completed or enrolled in Module 1 or in-person equivalent (e.g., PFP, ELP Global, ELIAS, IDEAS etc.).

Language: We will work with what is currently the most common shared language across the region: English. But we will attempt, where possible, to also work creatively with all languages across the Asia Pacific.

Costs (including Module 1 program, materials, and venue meals): Our intention is to make the course as accessible as possible to everyone, while at the same time allowing the team and the organisations to cover costs in order for the program to continue and develop. The price categories are based on the principle of solidarity pricing. We distinguish between participants who pay for the course privately (individual ticket) and participants for whom a company/organisation (organisation ticket) pays the course fee. You then choose the price category that reflects your (or your organisation’s) financial capacity. Currently the program requires significant volunteer efforts plus financial co-investments to make it possible. Please choose the price option that suits your situation with consideration for the whole. Prices vary from USD $1500 - $3000. (In case the course fee is still an issue, please apply for further scholarship consideration here.)

Module 2 aims to move from developing existing leadership and changemaker capacities at a personal level to building our collaborative impact.

This module will build on the practices, methods and tools from Module 1. In Module 1 these approaches were focussed more at an individual level; in Module 2 we will see how we can apply them to our institutions, communities, systems and region as a whole.

Module 2 will continue to foster a rich networking among leaders and change agents from across sectors, levels, contexts, nations and cultures, collaboratively creating impact as an ecosystem of practice towards a healthier Asia Pacific and a healthier world.

The ELP Asia Pacific is a regional enabling infrastructure—or fireplace—to help activate personal and collective awareness-based transformation and impact in the Asia Pacific. In Module 2 we will:

Build on the powerful concepts, tools and skills for systems change experienced in Module 1 which were focussed more on personal application, moving now towards systems application
Continue interweaving in a rich, diverse and inclusive networking space as part of an impactful and growing movement across the Asia Pacific which fosters and supports an ecosystem of practice
Grow and deepen our connections with our own specific places and contexts of work, both social and natural, as well as see and sense the work that others are doing in the region
Deepen our action research around self-generated learning questions, both individually and in learning clusters
Build and weave ecosystem prototypes and practical applications leading to impact in context, and to regional-level systems change
Focus on seeing and sensing regenerative transitions and 4.0 ways of working
Create connections to support our profound transformational journey, aligning with our own individual highest future potential as an impactful leader and changemaker in order to lead our countries and region to their highest possible contributions to the world in our time
Continue to deepen our journey while moving from attention into intention and stepping into agency
Further our explorations of shifting from ‘piecemeal’ responses to our current local, regional and global situations, to inspired and collective ‘peace-full’ action.

The ELP AP program is structured as a cycle of three modules that can be taken independently (see pre-requisites above) or as part of the whole ELP cycle, and which is aligned with the pathways of certification of the u-school for Transformation. (Certification is dependant on participation in the entire event.) Modules 1 & 2 will take place back-to-back in 2025. Module 3 will take place in 2026. You will need to have completed both Module 1 & 2 to take part in Module 3. We are not sure when further Modules will take place after 2026, so we encourage you to have completed both Modules before 2026 if you wish to complete the whole current cycle.

Module 2 is the next step of an ecosystem and movement-building journey of action-learning and research in which we will co-create the foundations for a better Asia Pacific for the world, grounded in our specific places, through a new kind of university—a university of the future, here and now—the u-school for Transformation.

Join us at this collective and collaborative fireplace on one of our global ‘islands of coherence’—Kura Kura Island in Bali, Indonesia—as we take this next step together.

This module aims to further develop ecosystem impact on a collective level, as we continue ‘transforming ourselves in order to transform our realities’. There will be an increasing focus on moving from attention through intention and on to agency, both individually and collectively.

Module 2 will help us continue connecting to our own highest future potentials as impactful leaders as we develop further individual and collective ecosystem agency. This will help us in guiding our separate countries and our common region to their highest possible contributions to the world as a whole. During this module we will be able to deepen and expand upon the existing rich network of leaders and change agents from across sectors, areas of work, contexts, professional levels, nations and cultures, collaboratively creating impact as an ecosystem of practice towards a healthier Asia Pacific and a healthier world.

It marks the next step on an inclusive, participatory, movement-building journey that integrates the knowledge of head, heart and hands through direct observation, reflection and action; or attention, intention and agency. It will help us move beyond ‘piecemeal’ responses to the challenges of our time, to collaborative, creative and inspired ‘peace-full’ action. It is the necessary next step of an ecosystem journey for all those innovating in systems, caring for communities and nature, and tending creative fireplaces of deep systemic change across the region.

We continue to remain committed, where possible, to making the program accessible for anyone from the Asia Pacific who would like to attend: We have a variety of pricing options available as well as scholarships, including a special track with scholarships for those working on landscape restoration in the Asia Pacific (generously provided by the holistic landscape regeneration organisation Commonland). Come and sit with us around this common, regional fire as we continue this transformational ecosystem journey together in order to take the whole of our region–and the world–forward.

This Module 2 can be taken together with Module 1 (or other equivalent in-person programs you might have completed) only, or as part of the whole ELP cycle. As mentioned above, for the complete ELP AP experience we recommend completing the whole cycle of three modules.

A place to build upon our existing skills and capacities to further transform ourselves, our separate places and our collective region for the betterment of the world as a whole
A space to continue our collective exploration of cutting-edge perspectives in order to understand and transform systems
Further development of the leadership and changemaker capacities necessary to help navigate complexity and ‘lead from the emerging future’ by activating our highest potentials in relation to the the world around us
Further put into action innovative tools, processes and awareness-based methodologies, achieving profound impact for ourselves, our places, our areas of work and our region
A three-day immersion in a beautiful, ecologically-focused venue surrounded by nature
Social learning, peer exchange and collaborative action and impact with fellow ecosystem leaders from across sectors and the region
The next step on a profound and collective ecosystem activation and regeneration journey for ourselves, our places, our landscapes, our communities, our region and our world
The opportunity to co-create stories of regeneration and hope for the world in our time
The chance to continue forging new cultural and relational connections across our region
Further integration into a continuous action-learning infrastructure with regional and global fireplaces and networks of practitioners: u-school for Transformation.
