Minga – “a coming together of community to work for the betterment of all”. According to this community, “there is no future in isolation. The future is shared by everyone.”
~ from Puruhae, Indigenous group who live in the foothills of the Andes mountains in Ecuador

In this online experience, we will explore the deepest aspects of community, using the core principles of dialogue practice. Empathic leadership is imperative, now more than ever.
