Our philosophy.
At the heart of our philosophy is the belief that we all deserve to be respected, celebrated, and supported in our personal and professional journeys. We take a firm stand against all forms of discrimination, including those based on race, gender, sexual orientation, disability, and more. We create spaces where everyone feels welcome and safe to be their authentic selves.
In addition to fostering inclusion, we’re deeply committed to reducing our environmental impact. While we don’t claim to be 100% carbon neutral, we take responsible action to reduce and offset our carbon footprint, ensuring that our practices are as sustainable as possible.
We recognise that climate change is an urgent issue that impacts all of us -our communities, our planet, and future generations. We're dedicated to doing everything within our power to mitigate our environmental impact, and we encourage our guests to join us in this effort.
What are we doing about it?
Here are some of the steps we’re taking to reduce our environmental impact and foster a more inclusive world:
-
Transportation: For local retreats, we encourage guests to avoid personal vehicles and domestic flights. Instead, we provide group transportation and promote the use of public transport or carpooling to reduce our collective carbon footprint.
-
Nutrition and Food: We acknowledge the environmental toll of livestock production and aim to make a positive difference. Our retreats offer a predominantly plant-based menu, sourced from local and organic produce. We include a small amount of ethically sourced meat and fish, allowing flexibility for those who prefer a less strict diet.
-
Collaboration: We work with partners who share our commitment to sustainability and inclusion, ensuring our impact on both people and the planet is positive.
-
Offsetting: To further reduce our environmental footprint, we add a 5% carbon offset charge to the retreat price. This contribution supports clean energy projects, such as methane capture and providing more energy-efficient cooking and heating solutions in underserved communities.
-
Education and Advocacy: Through workshops, discussions, and ongoing dialogue, we raise awareness about societal issues and encourage everyone to take action. We also provide tools and resources for individuals to make changes in their daily lives that reduce their own environmental impact.
-
Political Action: We support peaceful, nonviolent activism that calls for systemic change in the fight against climate change. Together, we can push for policies that hold corporations and individuals accountable for their environmental practices.
-
Inclusive Programming: We design our retreats to be accessible and inclusive for all participants, regardless of background or ability. This includes offering programming and support for those with different needs and creating spaces that celebrate diverse identities.
-
Safe and Welcoming Environment: We have a zero-tolerance policy for any form of discrimination, harassment, or exclusion. Our retreats provide a safe, supportive space where every individual is encouraged to express their true self. We actively promote respect, understanding, and celebration of differences, ensuring everyone feels like they belong.
-
Representation Matters: We ensure that our facilitators, speakers, and contributors come from diverse backgrounds, representing a wide range of perspectives and lived experiences. This enriches the retreat experience and fosters a sense of connection and mutual learning among all participants.
-
Ongoing Training and Growth: We regularly engage in training and reflection to ensure our team and partners continue to develop inclusive practices. This helps us stay accountable in our efforts to create a more inclusive world, both at our retreats and in our day-to-day operations.
-
Community Building: Beyond just our retreats, we strive to create an ongoing community where participants can stay connected, share resources, and support each other.
