This meeting convened Global Philanthropists Circle members interested in diving deeper into exploring Spiritual Civilization – what can be done to increase consciousness of the ideals that drive members of society to help each other and work towards the greater good.
The ideals of love, compassion, purpose, altruism, ethics, and creativity were examined on a personal, philanthropic and societal level through the exchange of stories and reflective practices.
