You want to lead change that leaves a lasting impact.
You're full of good ideas on how to use business as a force for good, projects that prioritize people and the planet, but have no idea what to do about them (or if they are worth investing energy into them!).
Not to mention, the education system has failed to prepare you with the foundational knowledge and tools needed to succeed as a confident leader. And when even jobs in the industry are asking for 5 years experience, you're left looking at opportunities that underpay and undervalue what you could bring to the world.
So, what if you could play with your ideas in a safe space with access to everything you need to make sure they would actually work?
What if you had the right community, facilitators, and tools to take your idea from seed to start-up?
And to top it off, what if you could do all of this while enjoying summer in the mountains, surrounded by clean air, clean water, clean food, and vibrant wildlife?
Take an idea from seed to success in our 4-week Academy Intensive this June in Manali.
Cut the noise, breath in fresh air, and experience a month of transformative action. Learn how to develop your project vision and put the pieces together to launch it as a social enterprise as you deepen your leadership and project management skills.
Our 4-week Academy Intensive combines all 12 modules of our virtual Hara Academy program with our Mindfulness Ambassador Program, outdoor experiential learning, and community building.

For impact to take shape, we must first look at our role and responsibilities as a individual.
By navigating who YOU are and your WHY, you can begin to map out your Theory of Change.
Module 4

& Contributions
From problem solving, we’ll jump into what it takes from community and organizational stakeholders to ensure sustainability of a solution.
This includes evaluating your own strengths and weaknesses so you can identify the right stakeholders to bring your solution forward.
Module 2
Collective Learning
Continuing our theory-based learning, we’ll navigate how to tackle systemic change and dive into what it takes to make a social, global issue tangible and relevant to all through collective learning.
Module 5
Conscious Leadership
What makes a great leader? How can you step into your potential? By analyzing and evaluating various leadership styles and influential leaders, learn how to make decisions that lead to greater impact through both top down and bottom up approaches.

As a leader, sometimes you need to "fight" for what you want (especially when it comes to funding and contracts). Learn how to overcome challenges with difficult people and situations by using empathy.

Got questions? We got answers!
I am working full-time - will I still be able to get my work done remotely?
Yes! You will have weekends and most evenings free to complete ongoing work. We suggest you only take virtual meetings on Tuesdays and Wednesday so programming is not interrupted.
I'd like to join with my friend o future co-founder. Can we get a discount?

I will be launching my project outside of India. Is this program still for me?
Yes - all the material covered is still relevant to developing and launching a project in another country.
I am already working on my social venture idea - is this program still for me?
If you have already launched the project you are working on but are struggling to see results, this program is still for you.
However, if you are currently scaling your venture (i.e. you are already making annual revenue of over 5 lakh), this program will be a little too beginner for you.
I'd like to pay my program fee in another currency. Is that possible?
Yes - We advise you to apply first. We will provide you with payment options after acceptance into the program.
