OCTOBER 1-3 2026
THE ART OF PARTICIPATORY LEADERSHIP
What becomes possible when we remember how to lead together?
From 1–3 October 2025, join us at Kufunda Village for three days of shared learning, deep remembering, and practical co-creation. The Art of Participatory Leadership is an immersion into leadership as a collective art—rooted in listening, hosting, and making meaning together.
If you’re holding space, growing change, or longing for new ways of leading—this is for you.
JANUARY 4-10, 2026
KUFUNDA LEARNING VILLAGE
Do you long to experience the warmth of true community?
For one week, people of all ages live, learn, and laugh together—cooking, sharing meals, singing under the stars, making art, walking barefoot, and listening to the land and to each other. Children run free, stories are shared, questions explored.
It’s a chance to experience village living, to slow down, to remember that learning is lifelong and relational, and to rediscover our belonging to one another.

SOUL RETREAT
Do you feel called to journey with others into the landscape of your soul?
To slow down, to listen, to remember what has always been here?
Join us at Kufunda Village for four days of deep soul-tending—an invitation to recalibrate, realign, and return home to yourself. Through elemental gateways of firelight, water’s flow, earth’s steadiness, and the breath of open skies, we’ll soften what is rigid, release what no longer serves, and root into what is quietly waiting beneath the noise of everyday life.
This is a space for those feeling the pull to step into a clearer, steadier way of being, in devotion to their own unfolding and the life they are here to live.

What if the future is waiting for us—together?
This August 2026, young people from the global South and North will gather at Kufunda Village for two weeks of slowing down, laughing, learning, and exploring what it means to belong to one another in these times.
We will ask:
What is our place in the world right now?
What is the future asking of us?
And how might we live into our role with courage, care, and imagination?
Held by the rhythm of village life, we’ll share meals, stories, and song; play and create; listen to the land and to each other. In the embrace of Kufunda, we’ll discover what becomes possible when we meet across cultures in community—as part of the same unfolding story.
