Campfire sessions

Campfire Sessions is a free, open forum hosted by Lodsten. Four times a year, we bring people together online for an constructive conversation about the issues and transitions we are facing today.

Each session is led by Erik Fernholm, who begins with a brief framing to set the context. Sometimes we will introduce a theme in advance; other times we will explore the questions that participants bring with them. The goal is simple: to create a space where people can think together, exchange perspectives, and make sense of what is happening around us.

Campfire Sessions is not a lecture series. It is a gathering where ideas are tested, assumptions are examined, and where everyone is welcome to contribute or listen.

Over time, we hope these sessions become a recurring touchpoint for those who want to follow the development of Lodsten’s work and engage with others who are navigating similar questions. A place where people can stay connected to new insights, emerging patterns, and the broader conversation about human behavior and societal change.

Mapping the future:
A digital talk with Erik Fernholm

Date: 26 November 2025 13.00 PM
What: Open session

Around the world, more and more people are searching for new ways to make sense of the time we live in. We see progress in technology and knowledge, yet many still feel disconnected — from themselves, from others, and from the larger purpose behind it all.

Through his work with the Inner Development Goals and other global initiatives, Erik Fernholm has spent years exploring how inner growth can help us face outer challenges. Along the way, he has noticed something simple but profound: we often try to solve today’s problems with the same mindset that created them.

Mapping the Future is about shifting that perspective. It’s about seeing our world not as a collection of separate crises, but as one shared story still being written.
Together, we will explore how a deeper understanding of human behavior and purpose can help us find direction — not just as individuals, but as a generation shaping what comes next.

Namn på föreläsningen:
En digital föreläsning med Erik Fernholm

Datum: 26 November 2025 13.00 PM
Vad: Öppen digital föreläsning

Varför gör vi ofta precis tvärtom mot vad vi vet är bra för oss? Varför fastnar organisationer i mönster som alla ser, men ingen lyckas ändra? Och vad krävs egentligen för att människor ska må bra, samarbeta och bidra över tid?

Bakom varje strategi, mål och beslut finns en gemensam variabel: människan. Vi pratar gärna om förändring, innovation och hållbarhet – men det mesta avgörs faktiskt i hur vi agerar. Individuellt och i grupp.

I den här föreläsningen visar Erik Fernholm hur en djupare förståelse för mänskliga beteenden kan skapa fundamentala förändringar i både organisationer och samhällen. Han hämtar stöd i modern forskning som kommer att förändra sättet du ser på dig själv, ditt ledarskap och världen vi skapat.
