Gatherings

The Four Gatherings

Each Gathering has a specific theme and purpose.  Prior to each gathering, the Ambassadors are assigned readings that correspond to each theme. Every Gathering includes activities and exercises that incorporates elements of the intellectual, social, spiritual, physical and the arts.  Every gathering includes learning about the Indigenous peoples in the area and visiting a natural place of beauty and/or historical/cultural consequence.
