Travel Consciously

Transformation is about first looking inward in order to create positive change in the self and the world around us. Our School of Transformation is about exploring the ways that we as travelers and travel professionals can be agents of change in our lives and the lives of others.

Whether you engage in an On-Demand Course or attend a Live Virtual Workshop, our hope is that you find inspiration, tools, and knowledge to deepen your travel experiences while becoming more conscious and ethical along the way.

We’re here to help you find more meaning, purpose, and connection as we emerge from the global pandemic. Our global community of Allies is using connection, education, and research to help travel fulfill its potential for positive change as never before – on the road and also at home.

Travel today has often resulted in personal experiences missing their full potential, but also increased inequities, over-touristed communities, and climate impacts. Now, as we emerge with a new desire and appreciation for travel, is the time to learn to travel more mindfully and create a ripple of impact that is far-reaching.

Choose an option below and begin exploring what we can offer you in your own journey of discovery.

 

We define transformational travel as “intentionally traveling to stretch, learn and grow into new ways of being and engaging with the world.” We believe meaningful travel starts from the inside out – and that is where we’ve fallen short, with travel often reinforcing existing boundaries, worldviews, and practices, rather than stretching and illuminating them. 

And that is the missing link for all that we want travel to be for us, our communities, and planet. We’ve underdeveloped our inner muscles of reflection, empathy, and intentionality, limited by traditional narratives, itineraries, screens, work, social media, our own blinders, and more.  

How can we renew travel today? And how can travel across borders, or just to a new part of your city or region, further help heal our homes? Our courses and workshops are leaning into these answers and solutions, for you, for all of us.
