An intensive curriculum that pairs video modules with live, facilitated discussions, this flagship experience presents a historical, cultural, and structural analysis of racism and inequity.

The immersive experience is designed for groups of up to 25 participants in a virtual setting to provide a deep dive into transformative content, as well as an opportunity to connect with, relate to, and form a sense of community with fellow participants.

Participants receive a participant resource guide along with access to The Groundwater Network.

The new format of our Basecamp program leverages the video-enabled 1.5 Day Immersive Experience and complements it with a half-day activation session 2 weeks after that addresses the question of “what do we do next?”

Basecamp provides leaders with a grounding in the groundwater analysis and from there invites them to reflect on ways this analysis can inform their work.

We know that in our polarized times, DEIB leaders are under enormous pressure from within their organizations, as well as from wider society.  We have developed this program in partnership with Ben Hasan, former Chief Diversity Officer at Walmart, and Keyra Johnson, Chief DEI and Social Impact Officer at Delta Airlines. Together we will align on the Groundwater analysis, gain insight into how to strategically leverage this approach within your company, and create an ongoing community of practice and power.

 In three powerful days, you will:

– Learn the Groundwater Approach
– Hear stories of real, measurable impact (ie “the receipts”) and lessons learned
– Discuss key challenges you’re facing and key challenges in the field more broadly
