“I have been blessed to have a career that has allowed me to learn at every stage of my life. I find a deep pleasure in sharing that learning with others who can benefit from it. At this moment in history, we need a breakthrough in human relations and social systems to deal with the intersection of multiple crises that challenge the very fabric of our lives. For this reason, accelerating learning is not optional; it is essential for our well-being and possibly our survival.”

-Mark Gerzon

Weaving together the stories of bridge-builders, community leaders, and everyday citizens, the film explores what happens when people choose curiosity over certainty and conversation over conflict.

Loving your Country,
Loving Yourself

TEDxVail

Do you love your country? Do you love yourself? Mark poses this deceptively simple question as the starting point for a much bigger reckoning: how do we bridge America's deepest divide when the divide runs straight through each of us? Drawing on his own journey of discovering he carries both conservative and liberal roots within himself, Mark makes the case that healing the country starts with healing our relationship to our own "whole self."

TEDxUCarolina

Drawing on decades of experience resolving conflict in some of the world's most divided places, Mark makes the case that humanity already has everything it needs to unite around this challenge, if we're willing to develop the one capacity we've neglected: the ability to think as one planet, not fractured tribes.
