Our dreams for the world are not only visions — they’re maps and blueprints for the lives we lead and the communities we co-create. As the stars have led many to freedom throughout history, the dreams that live in each of us today act as a bright light beaming from within, navigating us through a harsh world to one of equity, justice, peace, and prosperity.
Seeing the world as something for us to sculpt alongside one another has brought together some of the most generative minds and generous hearts. If you’re curious, feel free to read the intentions that guide our steps below. Second Wind ADK is an offering to the collective, a way of creating justice and peace in our shared world. Your words and your wisdom are welcome here.
