The Berkana Institute

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.

Learning in community and sharing new knowledge with others releases an enormous power for positive change in the world. Community is where we derive the support that enables us to act with greater resolve and courage, where our collective learning occurs exponentially, and where our connections foster emergence of a powerful force for change.

We invite you to join us here and contribute – help us bring this space alive!
