Immersion ExperiencesSince Greater People’s organizational values include understanding of diversity and selflessness, “Roam” immersion experiences enable participants to cultivate awareness of diversity and an understanding of others’ needs in the community. “Roam” experiences are organized excursions that allow participants to explore locations and environments that are outside of their usual realm of experience. Greater People believes that when individuals are removed from their normal, day-to-day routines to partake in an activity or culture that is in some way different from an individual’s “native” culture, participants often come away with a greater understanding of the similarities inherent in humanity and an appreciation for difference as it becomes understood.
For example, a business participating in “Roam” through Greater People will adopt a culture for approximately 3 months, or “for a season.” During that time, the participants will be immersed in the experience of a particular culture’s lifestyle, including components of art, food, entertainment, language, commerce and products. The goal of “Roam” is to address the common fear of the unknown in a cultural context. Additionally, “Roam” embodies the “Know More” component of Greater People’s overall mission; when individuals partake in experiential learning that addresses diversity, the process can lead to enlightenment and a more global perspective of today’s world and the individual’s place in it. Connection Events EVENT: BridgeBody The BridgeBody, or a meeting of Greater People members who are interested in networking, gathers once a quarter to keep abreast of local news and events while connecting in a social setting. This is an opportunity for members to meet other individuals who are on a journey similar to theirs and to develop new friendships with those on different journeys. These gatherings serve to make the BridgeBody event a productive, safe, engaging, and entertaining community experience. |
