We live in a world filled with conflicts and crises. But there are also beacons of harmony and hope. Every moment matters in the struggle between suffering and flourishing. We believe it’s about time to promote visions of transformation. It’s about time to engage in initiatives of innovation. It’s about time to create communities of compassion. It’s about time to build an ecological civilization.

Please enjoy this special online gala featuring a group of brilliant thinkers, great leaders, and inspiring artists to envision the possibilities of an ecological civilization and raise funds to help the Cobb Institute realize its mission.

One of the primary purposes of this event is to raise funds to help support our work and mission. We need your financial assistance to continue providing meaningful and transformative offerings. 100% of the proceeds will go toward the people who make it happen, our dedicated staff, and the operational costs needed to run to Cobb Institute.
