Global Dialogue Initiative Meeting
Virtual Session, September 27
Join us for this special community meeting!
Unlike previous gatherings, we will not have a presenter but instead, we will have a community-wide discussion where we will share exciting news about the GDI and hear from you on updates about your work in the dialogue space, challenges and successes. We would also like to discuss ideas about projects and programs that the GDI could collectively engage in and assist. If you know of any such opportunities, please do not hesitate to bring them to our attention. We hope you feel inspired to join us and look forward to seeing you.

Consciousness, Philanthropy, Impact Capital and Economic Systems Transformation
Virtual Session, October 26th at 17:00CET/11:00 ET
We are at a historical inflection point. The interlocking crises of climate, biodiversity, governance, inequality and social fragmentation are becoming more urgent by the day, threatening global stability. Many of these challenges are consequences of outmoded economic systems that have prioritized financial performance at the expense of the wellbeing of people and the future of our planet.

To tackle the scale, urgency and complexity of these challenges, we must go beyond alleviating symptoms to address their root causes. This requires transforming our economic systems, and philanthropy and impact capital have a unique and essential role to play. But outward transformation is not enough. We must also recognize the importance of inner work and consciousness to creating meaningful, lasting change.

Rising Leaders Retreat
Authentic Leadership Immersion: Inner Transformation for Outer Change
The Home, Spain October 26-29
Taking an intentional pause from our routine allows us to create the conditions for our inner clarity to arise and guide us to show up to our commitments more thoughtfully and purposefully. This is an invitation for rising leaders devoting their resources and talents to create meaningful change in the world; and who understand the importance of wielding power and influence responsibly and with integrity. This immersion offers an opportunity to engage deeply with yourself (body, mind, and spirit), connect and build trusting relationships with others and discover collaborative opportunities to amplify our missions. Our programming will explore how authentic leadership can help us bridge divides and create regenerative and equitable futures in service of life.
