Our approach to training leaders for social change is grounded in Three Tenets:

• Not Knowing – letting go of fixed ideas about ourselves, others and the world
• Bearing Witness – the practice of bearing witness to things as they are, including all forms of joy and suffering in our world
• Loving Action – effective, compassionate and sustainable action grounded in not knowing and bearing witness

In our Integral Peacemaker Training™ program, we train leaders and community activists in a non-polarizing and non-divisive approach to creating positive social change in support of a more just, peaceful and sustainable global community.

Our Bearing Witness Retreats, including Street Retreats, the Auschwitz-Birkenau Retreat and the upcoming Rwanda Retreat, are designed to address and transform the roots of violence in our societies. From family violence, to urban crime, to genocide and war. We seek to shift individuals, communities, organizations and institutions from scarcity to abundance thinking and from win/lose to win/win and partnership paradigms.
