Impact Fellowships Summit

We process 90% of our life experiences through our eyes. What senses and experiences can we open ourselves up to when our ability to see—and to judge the people around us based on sight—is removed? This blindfolded, facilitated experience creates a space for participants to reflect on the preconceived notions and the -isms that affect their daily lives and interactions. The workshop challenges participants to shed preconceived ideas of themselves and others while meeting other summit participants for the first time, thus allowing them to be blind to the labels of society and establish authentic conversations and bonds. Participants will understand that they are part of a larger narrative of inclusion and empowerment, and will be able to take the newfound insights and reflections from workshop discussions and apply them in their everyday work and personal lives. This workshop welcomes participants across all experience levels, professional categories, and organizational sizes. When sight is removed, something as simple as introducing ourselves to a stranger can become a chance to expand our view of the world.
