The Berkana Institute works in partnership with a rich diversity of people around the world who strengthen their communities by working with the wisdom and wealth already present in their people, traditions and environment. As pioneers, we do not deny or flee from our global crisis. We respond by moving courageously into the future now, experimenting with many different solutions.
Berkana and our partners share the clarity that whatever the problem, community is the answer. We prepare for an unknown future by creating strong and sustainable relationships, by wisely stewarding the earth’s resources, and by building resilient communities. We rely on the belief that human beings are caring, generous and want to be together.
Since 1992, when Berkana was founded, we have been learning about how to create the conditions for self-organizing to happen. Today, Berkana itself has become a self-organizing system that invites many people throughout our community to step forward with the leadership they wish to offer.
Our areas of activity include:
- Art of Hosting : a leadership practice focused on creating organizational learning that unleashes the power of collective intelligence.
- Consulting Services : events and consulting activities that serve organizations, individuals and communities, primarily in the U.S. and Canada.
- Pioneering Initiatives : the communities of practice that are pioneering new ways of creating change in our communities.
- Sharing Our Learning : the media, publications and products that harvest our learning and share it among individuals and communities.
