DO YOU WANT TO BECOME A LEADER OF THE RE-GENERATION?
“Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.”
— Martin Luther King Jr., from “Strength to Love” (1963)
The world is grappling with the effects of environmental degradation, systemic violence, and growing inequalities, while traditional leadership models —often hierarchical and short-term in focus— struggle to address these multifaceted issues.
Amid this backdrop, there is an urgent need for a new generation of leaders who can navigate complexity with compassion, vision, and a commitment to sustainable and transformative practices.
A new generation of leaders is needed and THIS IS WHY WE NEED YOU! This crisis of leadership is present in the business world, in politics, in the Non for Profit sector… But there is a lot we can do, and a lot we can become to change the narrative and co-create a more peaceful, fair and sustainable world for all.

Queremos que sientas la libertad de la incertidumbre, del fluir sin saber donde dormirás mañana, si en un Hostel con piscina o en tu esterilla…
“ El viaje no es el destino sino lo que aprendemos en el camino”
