On the occasion of Synergos’ 35th anniversary, our Founder and Chair Peggy Dulany shares a paper, Finding Our Way: How to Move Beyond Trauma to Serving with Love, on how she and others have used personal retreats for changemakers and philanthropists to help overcome our own obstacles and be more effective forces for progress in the world.

For the moment, the kind of intensive retreats described are not available to large numbers of people. But Synergos’ experiences convening and facilitating large partnerships that affect the economic, nutritional and health wellbeing of millions of people, how important the inner work methodology is to producing these results.
