    • Countries, organizations, industries and communities experiencing instability, strife or violence.
    • Individuals and communities dealing with trials and upheaval.
    • People who wish to serve others or deepen their commitment to service.
    Through our initiatives, we create spaces for development, reflection, and discovery that allow everyone to better understand their path and move forward with greater clarity and confidence.
  • Vision
    We act for and with people, regardless of their beliefs or deep personal inspirations—so long as these are not imposed on others. We seek a world where people live, act, and work with genuine self-awareness in acceptance of others, in a spirit of mutual respect and support.
