Dates: April 16-26, 2010 (11 days, including travel). Travel to Ecuador on 4/16, return 4/26.


Breathe the richest, cleanest air on the planet. Feel in your chest the trumpeting cacophony of the jungle in the middle of the perfectly black night. Witness the profound connection the Achuar people have with the earth and all of life. Be changed. Profoundly. Our journey will appeal to the mind, body, heart and soul as we explore our own callings, our individual life mission, and the ways of being that support our own leadership and citizenship development.
We have the unique opportunity to experience the Andes, the Amazon, and the Achuar. The journey blends comfort and true adventure. You will stay in an award-winning eco-lodge hundreds of miles from the nearest road, fly over the rainforest canopy in a light plane, travel by motorized dugout canoe, camp in an indigenous village, and stay in spa-like comfort perched on the side of a volcano.
This journey promises to give you a greater breadth and depth from which to access and powerfully engage your heart’s calling. You will envision and design your life around that which enlivens you. Grounded in a clear sense of purpose, and connected to all that enlivens you, new possibilities will emerge for the next chapter of your personal journey.
"The adventure, people, and scenery of the Leadership Journey were well worth the price. In my experience, the impact of similar experiences fades over time. A year and a half after my return I am still deeply impacted. I highly recommend this powerful journey!”
