SOIL builds inspired leaders with character, competence and enthusiasm; who create and contribute to sustainable organizations of consequence.
Our Pillars
Awareness comes from mindfulness - being fully present in thought and action, free of regret or anxiety. Cultivated through yoga and meditation.
Balance comes from embracing sustainability - natural design, mindful systems, and learning through courses like Whole Systems Thinking.
Compassion means understanding other's realities and taking action - through our Social Innovation Program and partnership with CORD.
Diversity means valuing each person’s uniqueness - using tools like Caliper to foster awareness and effective collaboration.
Ethics means fairness, using the right means, and no deception - practiced in all SOIL processes and explored through deep reflection.
