Thank you for visiting.
We’re in the midst of updating our website, so in the meantime we invite you to read how our thinking on networks is developing on our blog or message us at hello@together-institute.org.
We’d love to hear from you!
Welcome
We work with purpose-driven communities and networks and help them thrive.
We support values-aligned organizations with co-developing network-driven strategies, programming and training. And we collaborate on projects such as the Community Weaving framework co-created with Erin Dixon and Sita Magnuson.
For us, this work is personal: we have founded, stewarded and supported impact-driven communities for a combined 40+ years, and we’re grateful to do this work in collaboration with leading community practitioners worldwide.
