Imagination Encircled our Masterclass

Michelle Sherman • July 17, 2026

Imagination is more important than knowledge

Albert Einstein once said;


"Imagination is more important than knowledge.

Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world."

 

From the Illuminating Humankindness vantage point, that quote invites us to embrace our edgiest positive imagination to reveal a paradigm that naturally inspires our best efforts and outcomes. I certainly would enjoy more of that!

 

Well, that is exactly what a bold and brilliant group of sparkly souls did on July 12 at the How to Create a Paradigm Shift Masterclass.


Together, we explored the four steps required to navigate an upward trend in humanity's focus at this time of great confusion and discomfort. Our Masterclass, guided by Michelle Purnell-Hepburn, Paula Intravaia, Briana Blythe, and me, was welcomed with a level of relief, joy, and enthusiasm that sweetened the day and our post-program picnic.


What Our Attendees Had To Say

"Wow, it was wonderful. We really enjoyed ourselves, and the seminar was truly worthwhile. You created something amazingly beneficial, and I was so happy to be part of it." — MEJ

 

"You had incredible enthusiasm, something which strongly added to the spontaneity, making each moment very present tense." — PH

 

"The Masterclass helped me understand that you do not need a lot of people to make change happen. You just need people who are passionate." — SC

 

"Everyone was very sweet and eager to learn how to uplift themselves and others. It was just really lovely to be in a room of like-minded people! I had some great conversations and just really felt authentic and supported." — NH

 

“All the facilitators were incredibly knowledgeable and genuinely passionate about their topics. The entire environment was welcoming, supportive, and inclusive.” - HN 

 

On a scale of 1–10? "Ten! Expectations were clearly communicated before class, making it a safe, fun, and familiar place. All very high-quality speakers — truly masters in their craft." — SB

I want to acknowledge our brave and bodacious team of Thought Leaders, Luminary Guides, Volunteers, Tech Wizards, Leadership Mentees, Donors, and Subscribers who made this event possible.

 

They each know that Illuminating Humankindness is a courageous way of life that positively impacts all who practice it, witness it, or benefit from it.

 

Imagine that. Einstein would be proud.
