Areas of Impact

Regeneration

A life affirming balance of nature, communities, and the economy that encourages the healthy functioning of living systems and people’s role within them.

Transformation

Travel can be an enjoyable way to foster big and small changes. It is deep, personal stretching and growth in travel that makes new lifestyle choices natural.

Human Solidarity

Travel is a vessel for deeper connections that can lead to integration of human consciousness, radical human solidarity, and healing of the wounds caused by racism and prejudice the world over.

 
 

Our Mission

How We Move Forward
