Starting an endless ripple of possibility.
When small-scale visionaries can be seen and supported in their own vision and community, they activate a potent untapped force for sustainable collective impact.
A small-scale visionary is
a person with significant but overlooked awareness, capacity and creativity
Small-scale visionaries are everyday people with a keen curiosity and motivation that offers them awareness of the needs and opportunities around them— and a hidden knack for recognizing how and where change is most possible, often in unexpected places and ways.
in an environment where big change is possible and needed but difficult for standard systems to see or support
They live in places and situations with a remarkable convergence of culture, need and changing forces. But, on both a personal and community level, these visions and visionaries don't show up on the radar of typical institional support. They're often hidden in plain sight for a variety of reasons—sometimes even from themselves.
the access point to an epicenter of change in their immediate community and beyond.
With their relationships, creativity and deeply personal desire to make the world better around them, small-scale visionaries are a transformative portal directly into the heart and mind of a community. But to bring all of those elements together and materialize the essential personal and collective possibility they evoke, these visionaries need true access to support, networks and resources.
When small-scale visionaries are grounded locally but connected and supported globally, seemingly "small" actions and relationships simultaneously create direct organic impact and shift collective human cooperation and experience.
We recognize three essential areas of this visionary shift
that are deeply needed in the world:

ECOLOGICAL
awareness
We are all interconnected within rich ecosystems (both human and beyond-human) whether we recognize it or not. And we all need opportunities and examples of how to intuitively respond to our environment in ways that bring greater balance to the system and promote thriving for all.
Each in their own way, small-scale visionaries draw us to a deeper awareness of our own roles within systems and the effect each of us has on the places and people around us.

RECIPROCAL
exchange
When culture, resources or currency are exchanged, the spirit of generosity, reciprocity and relationship determines whether the exchange will benefit or deplete the overall health of all involved.
Small-scale visionaries make it possible for resources to flow into and out from their own community in a respectful, representative way that can maximize the true human benefit (and heal the very real damage) of living in our globalized world.

INTERGENERATIONAL
connection
Cross-generational exchanges of culture, knowledge, and skill are the heart of true learning. They show us that every member of the community at every stage of their life journey— from child to elder—have something essential to contribute.
Small-scale visionaries stand as a vital link and lineage between generations. They are a conduit for a flow of culture, practice and identity that are key to preserving and reweaving a shared social fabric and future that includes all of us—and that we all create together.

A network of these visionaries working in their own individual epicenters around the world offers a fresh, efficient vision of how and where the broad social impact sought by governments and large-scale philanthropy can be realized—in real human moments, experiences and efforts.
Together, small-scale visionaries are one of the most authentic, efficient ways to create both direct and collective transformation but they need to be seen and supported in their own personal brilliance to do it.
That's what we're here for.
