The Abroad Community

We Belong to One Another

Over a decade, Abroad has gathered an intimate community of leaders, stewards and practitioners who have walked into the world’s wisdom cultures and come home changed. Join them in local chapters, community gatherings and wisdom quests.

Three Ways of Belonging

Some of our community members arrive as explorers, seeking wisdom and asking deeper questions. Some become stewards of the traditions that welcomed them, and others commit to carrying that wisdom into their professional practice for life. We all remain part of one another’s story.

Abroad Explorers

Explorers

These extraordinary leaders, creatives, actors and family office leaders are alumni of Abroad experiences. They came for a transition, a question, or a quiet sense that there was more, and they returned with gifts that were deeply personal, and often unexpected.

Every participant becomes an Explorer after their first Abroad experience, and is invited to keep gathering in person through local chapters, exploring wisdom-based leadership and what it means to live with purpose.
