On the occasion of Synergos’ 35th anniversary, our Founder and Chair Peggy Dulany shares a paper, Finding Our Way: How to Move Beyond Trauma to Serving with Love, on how she and others have used personal retreats for changemakers and philanthropists to help overcome our own obstacles and be more effective forces for progress in the world.

These retreats allow participants to set aside their daily routine and environment, providing space in an undisturbed, natural setting to clarify and sharpen individual life purpose, increase awareness, and become more effective in social engagement work.
