Retreat Spotlight: Changemaker X Change

Retreat Spotlight: Changemaker X Change

The Uplands hosted the North American Gender and Climate Action Summit, organized by Changemaker X Change, an organization that facilitates connecting, co-learning and collaboration amongst social innovators from around the world. Currently more than 1,000 individuals from 130 countries are engaged in the summits, capacity building and mutual-learning initiatives coordinated by Changemaker X Change, where they find support for their efforts to create, sustain and scale positive change.

Their retreat at The Uplands consisted of numerous spaces for exchange, mutual learning and peer-to-peer support, involving creative facilitation methodology which included artistic activities, nature hikes, wellness practices and collective reflection. The Uplands was pleased to offer this inspiring group a yoga class, guided nature walk and sound bath, as well as serving nourishing vegetarian meals consistent with their effort to minimize environmental impacts while nourishing environmental defenders and social innovators.
