The Caravan experience is coming to Iran this Spring 2018! Join us for a 10 day all-inclusive unique journey of a lifetime as we caravan through the breathtaking Iran while engaging with each other in an immersive program. We will be curating a small group of purpose-driven global entrepreneurs & creatives to explore Iran and to connect to ourselves.

We’ve designed this caravan to highlight the unique place-specific elements of Iran that we believe are the most important for an authentic and meaningful experience. Each day, this exploration will emerge with us engaging in a specific theme that is central to life in Iran (most have no translation in english and can only learned by experiencing).
For example, you’ll learn about the modern and traditional Iranian notions of:
community, public sphere, and local leadership by experiencing the themes of Pir Neshin, Karvansara, and Masjed. You’ll also actively learn about Iran’s heritage of personal and societal intimacy by experiencing themes of Sofrey, Hayat-markazi, 5 Dari and Saqa Khooneh.
