Culturally immersive, small group & custom-designed travel

Asia, Africa & Latin America

Gift yourself with a culturally immersive and expertly guided learning adventure in one of the world’s most intriguing locales. In the context of rich and contrasting cultural realities, participants have the opportunity to intimately engage with people who have radically differing life experiences and world views.

We ask reflective questions about who we are, what brings meaning to our lives, and how we would like to live as empowered members of a global community. Join a small group program or design your own group experience. Access the world in a way you never have before!
