The Journey Starts Here

Conflict, loneliness, poverty and environmental threats. Despite our good intentions, we can’t seem to tackle our biggest problems. Why? Because we’re stuck in the old thinking that created them. We can do so much better than this, but we need new tools, and we need to start with ourselves.

On June 27, you’re invited to the Inner Development Goals (IDG) Action Day US to learn how we can release the brakes on human progress, both individually and collectively. This is the journey. Now is the time.
