Immersion Learning

We combine global citizenship acuity, self-discovery, and spiritual exploration with international immersion learning experiences to help individuals discover their truest selves in the context of global community. Together, odyssey travelers explore what it takes to be socially-conscious, spiritually-grounded, global citizens who are confident about the social contribution they are making in the world. Through Tumbuh Global’s cultural and contextual trainings, interactive learning elements, and immersion learning experiences, odyssey travelers discover how to be themselves for the sake of the world. 

​

Guided global odysseys are intentionally international. We choose to use our passports to cross human-made barriers to listen and learn from our global neighbors. We cross these divides at the invitation of local communities and with acknowledgment of our profound privilege in being able to move so freely. We acknowledge not everyone can get a passport. But, for those of us who can, we have a responsibility to hear the global story and discover how it informs our personal stories. We know the world has much to teach us and so we open ourselves to these stories and experiences.

​

Guided global odysseys focus on being over doing. We focus on the lived experience of others as a core contribution to our own self-discovery and, in turn, our collective liberation. We teach and employ active listening skills, practice a deep appreciation for the natural and spiritual world, are led by local indigenous communities in our interpretation and exploration of our surroundings, and seek to learn from the cultural and religious expressions of our context. We focus on the work each of us needs to do to discover our truest selves so that what we offer back to the world is a grounded, authentic global response.
