Mission

We aim to create growth opportunities for artists, scientists, and civic leaders to cross boundaries, learn from each other, and form communities of interest and exchange through immersive field experiences that create change and forward motion on major social issues of our time.

Vision

We envision a world where scientific literacy is heightened, where there are ample opportunities to collaborate across traditional fields of experience, and where the consumable media is deeply rooted in place.

Values

Natural Immersion - Becoming embedded in a natural setting allows for reflection, growth, and an outpouring of the creative process.

Egalitarianism - All voices have a place at the table, and the best ideas need not come from the experts or the most experienced. Everyone has a leadership role to step up to.

Authenticity - Living our values, from the foundation up. We seek to thread these values through all aspects of the organization. We want to live in the practice of what we’re trying to create.

Inquiry - A creative mind and a drive to explore and understand are foundational to finding our way forward.

Community - Good ideas do not grow in isolation.
