"The kind of hope I often think about I understand above all as a state of mind, not a state of the world.  Either we have hope within us or we don’t; it is a dimension of the soul; it’s not essentially dependent on some particular observation of the world or estimate of the situation.  Hope is no prognostication.  It is an orientation of the spirit, an orientation of the heart; it transcends the work that is immediately experienced, and is anchored somewhere beyond its horizons."
 
-Vaclav Havel
Our cohort retreats are organized over seven months. Each consists of a small group of leaders of globally oriented nonprofit, foundation, and businesses with a social purpose. The program is characterized by rich conversation, skill development and real-time problem solving.
