The Journey is a totally unique convergence of community, education, and creative expression
What to Expect:

Whether it is climate change, inequality, migration, food security or mental health, there are numerous issues facing humanity today.
More and more, people like yourself are looking for ways to help solve these problems and prepare themselves for the major changes ahead. We can’t wait for a government to step in and provide the necessary support or solutions.

From this we discover our calling.
Our Gift to the world.
Preparing for a complex and uncertain future
A Cultural Awakening
"The future Buddha may not come in the form of an individual, but in the form of a community practicing loving kindness and mindful living" - Thich Nath Hanh.
This is a vision from an enlightened master of awakening communities, but how do we get there?
This is what we will explore in The Journey.
Together, we will co-create an experience of community that values deep inquiry, human connection and reverence for the rhythms of nature.
“We who love peace must learn to organize as effectively as those who love war”. - Martin Luther King Jr.
Creating Purpose and Strategy
How do me and we proceed?
"The real problem of humanity is the following: we have Paleolithic emotions, medieval institutions, and god-like technology." - E.O Wilson
Understanding Context and Sense-making
What are we up against?
“The future buddha may come in the form of a community. A community practicing loving-kindness and mindful living” -Thich Nath Hanh
Developing Relational and Collective Intelligence
Who are we?
“A human being is a part of the whole called by us the universe, a part limited in time and space…a kind of optical delusion of consciousness. ” -Albert Einstein
Exploring Identity and Values
Who Am I?
"Try to love the questions themselves....live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer." - Rilke
The Journey is designed to help you discover yourself, your fellow humans and a shared passion for a better world through inquiry-based learning.
The Four Inquiries
The Journey is guided by the principles of reciprocity, self-awareness and service.
By embracing these principles, we challenge the story of separation, fostering a sense of unity and shared responsibility as we truly see how everything is interdependent
our guiding framework
reciprocity | self-awareness | service
Through narrative work and strategic design processes, participants acquire the knowledge and capabilities ask big questions and explore big problems.
We co-create a supportive environment to discover that everything we need is right here, right now.
Service & Self-Discovery
It's all about relationships - between ourselves, the land and each other.
The Journey develops the wisdom and interpersonal skills to allow community to be a mirror as we collectively address real-world problems in with keen sense-making and "village-mindedness".
Expanding Impact & Building Community
The Journey provides a learning environment that stimulates the state of flow - the optimal human state.
Through novelty, unpredictability, connection, complexity, and awe, we foster flow. This enhances human curiosity, passion, and purpose.

The Gift is a realization that life is a gift, and what we give is our gift back to life.
In a world where all domains of life have been de-sacralized, The Gift is a vehicle to support the restoration of spiritually rooted culture that is non-dogmatic and eminently pragmatic.

Five Reasons to Join
The Journey
It's a vision.
The Gift is more than a Journey, it's a cultural vision.
Imagine a culture where giving and receiving naturally flow among all members, fostering the creative process and leading to a sense of fulfillment where life becomes a gift.
1
The human symphony.
We're creating an experience where every participant gets to ‘be their note’, so that together we form a human symphony. The combination of educators, facilitators and artists weave to create an exquisite balance of structure in improvisation - the creative edge where magic happens.
2
You'll hear nature speak.
The Journey is happening in the verdant ecosystem of Costa Rica. Steps from the Rio Verde river surrounded by birdsong, fruit trees, flowering plant, herb gardens, and minutes from the ocean, you'll be immersed in nature.
3
Living conversations
The keyword at the Journey is “experience”. You can find talking heads on YouTube, at the Journey we are about living conversations that translate ideas into things we can touch, feel, and see. Visualize a Jedi training ground where multiple intelligences are activated to tap into the field of human potential.
4
Creativity, service + self-development.
Yes you can marry all three.
Humans can fire on all cylinders when creativity, service, and self-development are integrated into the ways we gather. You'll be in the company of people that inspire you to be all you can be, and leave with ideas, connections, and personal insights that support you to be the change you wish to see in the world.
