Acosta Institute Fellows 2025
Mission
Our mission is to build healing-centered lifelong learners at the intersection of education, business, and technology. Leveraging the power of healing-centered practices, slow work, and contemplative science, the Fellowship creates a catalytic container for fellows to tap into their deepest selves, enabling them to make the most profound impact.
Our vision is to create a global community of transformative leaders who embody healing-centered values, fostering cultures of resilience, innovation, and social justice within the worlds of education, business, and beyond. The Fellowship aims to be a model for community-centered learning, setting a new standard for fellowships worldwide.
