The Institute for Emerging Visionaries is an educational immersion program dedicated to creating environments and experiences for revolutionary individuals to deepen themselves, their skills and knowledge so that they can actualize their humanitarian visions for the world.

 

This program is an invitation for young people, ages 18-30, to spend 8 immersive days diving into the deepest mission and purpose-driven work that calls.  Our Visionary Incubator invites you to reclaim your own visions for your life and humanity; exploring service as a path of living while crystallizing vision and curating your life to reflect it.

​

Our inspiration comes from years of working with young adults from around the world and witnessing the immense power they have within when given the environment to be seen and heard.

 

We see the need and are committed to creating alternative learning experiences that support young visionary leaders to have the tools, resources and mentorship to rise up and realize their visions in service to humanity. Our emphasis is on mentoring young people who are inspired to create projects that promote unity, diversity, vulnerability, authenticity and build a more united and peaceful world.

​

The Institute for Emerging Visionaries serves as a sustainable model for supporting young emerging leaders from across the globe to implement their humanitarian projects in their countries and communities. 

 

Note: Having a specific project vision is not necessary to apply to the Visionary Incubator. Even a whisper of desire to create something regenerative in the world, is enough to participate.

​

We see the essential and growing importance of offering young visionaries guidance, support, and restorative space—ensuring they have the focus needed to respond to and grow projects that transform the issues they see facing their community.

​​

Because the Hawiian islands are the home of the One Village Project, we honor the power of the islands and the need for a visionary generation to preserve and maintain the cultural richness and indigenous wisdom of this sacred place. While applications do not need to be from Hawaii to apply, initial preference and all scholarship funding will be given to those who call Hawaii home.

​

The 7th annual immersive incubator will take place August 2nd-10th, 2026 on the Big Island of Hawaii.
