Join us for three informal interactions at our home following three special events (among many!) happening in March. Collectively, these events deal with promoting human-planet wellbeing as we focus on “the future we want and the people we want to be.” Space is limited. RSVP is required.

Trio Gatherings are set up in response to the felt need for a relaxed place where colleagues can interact on important topics for mutual learning and support. They are informal and not sponsored by any organization/group. The gatherings are part of our commitment to encourage “global integration”—connecting and contributing relevantly on behalf of the major issues facing humanity and in light of our core values. The hosts (Michèle and Kelly O'Donnell) are consulting psychologists working in the areas of personnel development for international organisations, humanitarian psychology, anti-corruption advocacy, and GMH.
