In our history as a nation, we have made incredible strides towards lasting change, but we still have a ways to go. Harpers Ferry, West Virginia was the location for a catalyst event that spurred on the American Civil War – the raid led by John Brown. Our voyage to Harper’s Ferry follows the story of this raid, major battles of the Civil War, and to the hallowed grounds where Lincoln gave his Emancipation Proclamation. As we struggle, more than 150 years later, to bring these words to pass in America, we hope to learn from the lessons of the past so we might be agents of change for the future.
Our Agents of Change pilgrimage packs the most inspiring stories of men and women who made a difference through a spiritual experience unlike any other. Your team will be moved by the stories of these heroic leaders and challenged to identify and combat the injustices that face your community and country today. Our retreat is designed to encourage your team to practice persistence, set a vision, and show empathy as agents of change for our future.
